Gut environments harbour dense microbial ecosystems in which plasmids are widely distributed. Plasmids facilitate the exchange of genetic material among microorganisms while enabling the transfer of a diverse array of accessory functions. However, their precise impact on microbial community compo...
Three E.coli affymetrix antisense arrays were used to examine the global gene expression of pNCF carrying E.coli biofilm. The pNCF is the derivative of only 65 kb non-conjugative factor of F plasmid. It was introduced to E.coli MG1655 strains before prepare the biofilm samples. The biofilms were cul...
Comparisonof ParA levels in E. coli carrying mini-F plasmids (ParA expressed from the native ParA promoter) with ParA-GFP levels expressed froma weak Ptrc promoter in pDSW210 vector.
We investigate the global transcriptional differences between the generated E.coli F- phenocopies cells and planktonic cultures using DNA microarray technology. We validated and compared our expression profiling approach with the most E.coli K-12 global expression biofilm-induced genes, in associati...
We measured expression level changes associated with the introduction of the F plasmid in 2 bacterial host strains (MG1655 and DH5alpha) Keywords: parallel sample
