Project description:Transcriptional analysis of the effects of oxygen concentraion in S. mutans RNA was extracted from 3 or 4 replicate samples of S. mutans UA159, UA159 grown in 8.4 % oxygen concentration and MU1020 (M-bM-^HM-^Fnox) grown in continuous culture to steady-state pH values of 5. RNA was labeled with Cy3. For each replicate, labeled RNA was hybridized to slides along with Cy5-labeled reference RNA, extracted from S. mutans UA159 cultures grown to mid-log.

Project description:Transcriptional analysis of glucose shock vs. steady-state growth in the parent strain and an acid sensitive mutant strain of S. mutans
Project description:Transcriptional analysis of glucose shock vs. steady-state growth in the parent strain and an acid sensitive mutant strain of S. mutans RNA was extracted from 4 replicate samples of S. mutans UA159 and UR117 (fabM mutant strain) grown in continuous culture to a steady-state pH value of 7. The cultures were exposed to a glucose shock (200mM) and samples were collected upon achieving culture pH value of 5.5. pH control was re-established and cultures were allowed to grow to a steady-state pH value of 5 (for UA159) and 5.5 (for fabM mutant). RNA was labeled with Cy3. For each replicate, labeled RNA was hybridized to slides along with Cy5-labeled reference RNA, extracted from S. mutans UA159 cultures grown to mid-log.
Project description:Transcriptional analysis of the effects of sugar source in S. mutans RNA was extracted from 4 replicate samples of S. mutans UA159, UA159 grown in glucose or maltose in continuous culture to steady-state pH values of 7 or 5. RNA was labeled with Cy3. For each replicate, labeled RNA was hybridized to slides along with Cy5-labeled reference RNA, extracted from S. mutans UA159 cultures grown to mid-log.
Project description:To gain further insights into the molecular basis of the effects of oxygen on biofilm formation by S. mutans (Ahn and Burne, 2007), we used DNA microarrays to analyze gene expression profiles of cells cultured under aerobic or anaerobic conditions.
