Project description:We have deep sequenced the small transcriptome of Escherichia coli growing in LB and in MOPS, in exponential and stationary phase, and analyzed the resulting reads by a novel pipeline STARPA (Stable RNA Processing Product Analyzer). Our analysis reveals over 14,000 small transcripts enriched during both growth stages. RNA samples were collected from total RNA pools or from crude ribosome pools and then size selected by electrophoresis to limit the products to 20-300nt.
Project description:Differential expression of genes in E. coli MG1655 strains with deletions of fis and hns was assessed under early-exponential, mid-exponential, transition-to-stationary and stationary phases of growth in LB medium.
Project description:This study explores the effects of prolonged stationary phase, on whole genome expression of Escherichia coli. In summary these results imply that prolonged stationary phase cells have shown less growth rate compared to fresh cells due to the low abundance of transcripts for translation initiation factor infC, and for all the seven rrn operons of 5S, 16S, 23S ribosomal RNA which further delayed in protein synthesis leading to low biomass in prolonged stationary phase cells. 28 days old E.coli cells were grown in the presence of LB broth and LB broth supplemented with 10% v/v glycerol. RNA was extracted from these samples, cDNA was prepared, fragmented cDNA was labled with labeling reagent and hybridized with Affymetrix E.coli2.0 genome array chips.Data was analysed to get the effect of glycerol on E.coli gene expression
