Project description:Here, we investigated the impact of Stx2 phage carriage on Escherichia coli (E. coli) K-12 MG1655 host gene expression. Using quantitative RNA-seq analysis, we compared the transcriptome of naïve MG1655 and the lysogens carrying the Stx2 phage of the 2011 E. coli O104:H4 outbreak strain or of the E. coli O157:H7 strain PA8, which share high degree of sequence similarity.
Project description:After the attachment of the lytic phage T4 to Escherichia coli cells, 1% E. coli cells showed an approximately 40-fold increase in mutant frequency. They were designated as mutator A global transcriptome analysis using microarrays was conducted to determine the difference between parental strain and mutators, and the host responce after adsorption of the phage and the ghost.
Project description:NsrR is a nitric oxide sensitive regulator of transcription. In Escherichia coli, NsrR is a repressor of the hmp gene encoding the flavohemoglobin that detoxifies nitric oxide. Several other transcription units (including ytfE, ygbA and hcp-hcr) are known to be subject to regulation by NsrR. In this study, chromatin immunoprecipitation and microarray analysis was used to identify NsrR binding sites in the chromosome of Escherichia coli strain MG1655. Keywords: ChIP-chip
Project description:The purpose of this study is to determine whether the presence of pathogenic Escherichia coli in colon is associated with psychiatric disorders.
Project description:Expression level of whole genome genes in Escherichia coli CC72 at early-exponential phase, and 10 min, 20 min and 45 min after osmotic stress. Venus was fused to the 3' end of rpoC in E. coli MG1655 to localize RNA polymerase as reported previously (C. Cagliero and D. J. Jin, 2013).
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. WT strains were grown under aerobic and anaerobic growth conditions. A six chip study using total RNA recovered from two separate cultures of Escherichia coli MG1655 K-12 WT (aerobic and anaerobic) and two separate cultures of the ?fnr mutant strain (anaerobic). Each chip measures the expression level of 4,661 genes from Escherichia coli MG1655 K-12 with eight 60-mer probes per gene, with each probe represented twice on the array.
Project description:To investigate and compare transcriptomic changes of Escherichia coli K-12 MG1655, the bacterium was exposed to nine antibiotics (tetracycline, mitomycin C ,imipenem, ceftazidime, kanamycin, ciprofloxacin, polymyxin E, erythromycin, and chloramphenicol) , and RNA-Seq was performed to determine comparative transcriptomic changes.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in a Escherichia coli MG1655 K-12 ∆arcA mutant, compared to the wild-type strain. The mutations engineered into this strain produce a strain lacking the ArcA protein. The results are further described in the manuscript The response regulator ArcA uses a diverse binding site architechture to globally regulate carbon oxidation in E. coli
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in a Escherichia coli MG1655 K-12 M-bM-^HM-^FarcA mutant, compared to the wild-type strain. The mutations engineered into this strain produce a strain lacking the ArcA protein. The results are further described in the manuscript The response regulator ArcA uses a diverse binding site architechture to globally regulate carbon oxidation in E. coli A six chip study using total RNA recovered from three separate cultures of Escherichia coli MG1655 K-12 WT and three separate cultures of the M-bM-^HM-^FarcA mutant strain. Each chip measures the expression level of 4,661 genes from Escherichia coli MG1655 K-12 with eight 60-mer probes per gene, with each probe represented twice on the array.
