Project description:To investigate the regulatory targets of the RegR virulence regulon of rabbit specific enteropathogenic Escherichia coli strain E22
Project description:The IncX3 plasmid is a primary vector for disseminating carbapenem resistance globally, yet the chromosomal regulatory mechanisms governing its fitness cost remain poorly understood. Our previous work identified the stringent starvation protein SspA as a modulator of IncX3 plasmid fitness in Escherichia coli via flagellar biosynthesis. Here, we elucidate the global regulatory role of SspA and verify whether its effect is mediated through the master regulator H-NS
Project description:Transcription profiles in BL21, BL21/pOri1 and BL21/pOri2 were analysed using DNA microarray technology. BL21, BL21/pOri1 or BL21/pOri2 strains were cultured at chemostat status and harvested after the cultivation arrived steady status. Keywords: Effects of plasmid DNA on Escherichia coli metabolism
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in a Escherichia coli MG1655 K-12 ∆fnr mutant, compared to the wild-type strain. The mutations engineered into this strain produce a strain lacking the FNR protein.
Project description:The purpose of this study is to determine whether the presence of pathogenic Escherichia coli in colon is associated with psychiatric disorders.
