Measuring the effects of hypoxia on transcription in Caulobacter crescentus
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: To test the effects of hypoxia on transcription in Caulobacter crescentus, we cultured cells in a New Brunswick bioreactor under controlled conditions. Prior to innoculation, the medium was bubbled with laboratory air at maximum flow and stirred at 300 rpm for 2 hours. After this period, the medium was considered saturated with air and the oxygen probe was set to 100%. Untreated cultures were grown in air-saturated complex medium at 30 degrees C to OD660=0.5 at pH=7 (continuous air-bubbling; 300 rpm stirring). At cell harvest in aerated culture, the dissolved oxygen probe remained above 98%. To subject cells to hypoxia, culture at OD660=0.5, pH=7 was sparged continuously with nitrogen gas; the dissolved oxygen level as measured by the gas probe dropped from 100% to 0% over the course of 5 minutes under this condition. Hypoxic cultures were continually stirred and bubbled with nitrogen for another 20 minutes after the dissolved gas probe read 0%. Hypoxic cells were then harvested for RNA isolation.
