CCCB - Genomic variation

ABSTRACT: Antibiotic resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae is often the result of horizontal gene transfer events involving closely related streptococcal species. Laboratory experiments confirmed that S. mitis DNA functions as donor in transformation experiments, using the laboratory strain S. pneumoniae R6 as recipient and chromosomal DNA of a high level penicillin resistant S. mitis B6 strain. After four transformation steps, alterations in five penicillin-binding proteins (PBP) were observed, and sequence analysis confirmed recombination events in the corresponding PBP genes. In order to detect regions where recombination with S. mitis DNA has occurred we analyzed the S. pneumoniae transformants by microarray analyses, using oligonucleotide microarrays designed for the S. pneumoniae genome and the S. mitis B6 genome as well.

Pathochip of Streptococcus spp surface proteins

Project description:In order to appreciate the presence of surface protein gene homologues in commensal species S. mitis and S. oralis, comparative genomic hybridization studies using DNA microarrays were performed with 8 S. mitis and 11 S. oralis from different geographic locations. The oligonucleotide microarray was designed based on the genomes of S. pneumoniae R6 and TIGR4 as well as S. mitis B6 to include genes of 63 cell surface proteins. The denatured genomic DNA of the S. mitis and S. oralis strains was labeled with Cy3-dCTP and control S. mitis B6 DNA was labeled with Cy5-dCTP. Hybridization was performed following the manufacturers recommendations using an hybridization temperature of 40C for 16 h. For data processing, microarrays were scanned on the laser scanner Pro Scan Array GX (PerkinElmer) with the low resolution of 50 M-5m using ScanArrayExpress Software version 4.0. Photomultiplier tube was adjusted to balance the two fluorescence channels and biochips were scanned with a resolution of 10 M-5m. After elimination of background values fluorescence intensity was determined. Signals that showed an intensity ratio of 0.3 and above were considered to be positive.

Microarray-based transcription profiling of Streptococcus pneumoniae R6 delta rgtA ,delta rgtD and delta cpoA

Project description:Alterations in genes for penicillin-binding proteins (pbp) are well-known determinants for the resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae to B-lactam antibiotics. Surprisingly, some mutations in non-pbp genes were also found to contribute to B-lactam resistance. Two of them discovered in the piperacillin resistant mutants P106 and P104, affect the expression of cpoA (encoding a glycosyltransferase) and of the rgtABCDHR cluster (encoding two small membrane proteins, an ABC transporter and a regulatory two-component system), respectively. cpoA and rgtABCDHR are involved in maintaining the synthesis and the proper ratio of the two major membrane glycolipids, and deletions in these genes led to complex phenotypes. In attempts to identify genetic determinants for these phenotypes, the global trancription patterns of the deletion mutants R6 delta cpoA, R6 delta rgtA and R6 delta rgtD were compared to that of the parent strain R6.

ECBiG PlasTi-microarray CSH validation

Project description:Experiment evaluating aplicability of PlasTi-microarray for cross-species hybridization studies. PlasTi-microarray is a tiling oligonucleotide microarray originally designed for cucumber plastome analysis.Chloroplast RNA from Arabidopsis, tomato and spinach leaves was extracted, labelled and hybridized to PlasTi-microarray with the cucumber samples labelled with the second dye as a control. For each species, one biological sample and one technical replicate (labelled in a dye-swap orientation) were analyzed, resulting in two microarray hybridizations per species and six microarrays (a-f) in total.

Comparative genomic hybridization by array of methanogens from from soil incubated for 2, 4 and 6 months with and without earthworms

Project description:The potential of the earthworm Eisenia andrei to reduce soil methanogens, and thus methane emissions to the atmosphere, were assayed in a microcosm experiment. Soils were incubated for 2, 4 and 6 months. We measured microarray parameters (methanogenic diversity) at the start of incubation, as well as after 2, 4 and 6 months of incubation in microcosms with or without earthworms. Methanosarcina barkeri was the most abundant genus that was revealed by AnaeroChip in our experiment.
