Project description:The antimicrobial action of the curing agent NaNO2, which is added as a preservative to raw meat products, depends on its conversion to nitric oxide and other reactive nitrogen species under acidic conditions. In this study, we applied RNA-sequencing to analyze the acidified NaNO2 shock and adaptive response of Salmonella Typhimurium, a frequent contaminant in raw meat. Upon a 10 minute exposure to 150 mg/l NaNO2 in LB pH 5.5 acidified with lactic acid, genes involved in nitrosative stress protection together with several other stress related genes were induced. To the contrary, genes involved in translation, transcription, replication and motility were down-regulated. Induction of stress tolerance and reduction of cell proliferation obviously promote survival under harsh acidified NaNO2 stress. The subsequent adaptive response was characterized by up-regulation of NsrR-regulated genes and iron-uptake systems and down-regulation of genes involved in anaerobic respiratory pathways. Strikingly, amino acid decarboxylase systems, which contribute to acid tolerance, displayed increased transcript levels in response to acidified NaNO2. The induction of systems known to be involved in acid resistance indicates a nitrite mediated increase of acid stress. Transcriptome of Salmonella Typhimurium 14028, treated at OD600 = 0.80-0.85 with 150 mg/l NaNO2 (acidified by lactic acid in the growth medium) for 10 min (shock response) or until an OD600 = 1.45-1.55 is reached (1.5 - 2.0 h, adaptation response), was compared to respective control cultures without NaNO2. Amplified cDNA libraries for sequencing on the SOLiD 5500xl system were prepared from one culture per condition.

Project description:The phenotypic and gene expression traits conferred by the alternative sigma factor protein σL in the food-borne pathogen L. monocytogenes were investigated. σL was shown to be important for the efficient growth of this pathogen exposed to food preservative measures such as low storage temperatures, elevated osmolarity and acidity. Based on high throughput phenotypic analysis, σL function was also found to be protective in L. monocytogenes EGDe cells exposed to several antimicrobial compounds including some of the antibiotics currently applied in listeriosis treatment. The expression of flagella genes and motility were significantly compromized upon loss of σL function. A comparative transcriptome analysis of exponential growth EGDe wild type and sigL null cells unveiled 394 genes that are positively controlled through σL dependent transcriptional regulation mechanisms in this bacterium during growth at low (3°C) and optimized (37°C) temperature conditions. Genes identified indicate that σL is a pleitropic transcription regulator mediating positive expression control of genes involved in diverse cellular processes including protein synthesis, molecular transport, energy metabolism, respiration, transcription regulation, metabolite biosynthesis, and cell envelope composition modification. Overall our observations have revealed that the loss of σL function leads to extensive gene expression defects in L. monocytogenes EGDe cells, and these are consistent with compromized nutrient assimilation, energy metabolism, protein synthesis, and metabolite biosynthesis processes as well as altered cell envelope composition and motility. Numerous gene expression changes imposed by σL loss in EGDe are thus also consistent with pleiotropic phenotypic defects detected in the L. monocytogenes EGDe ∆sigL strain.

Project description:The phenotypic and gene expression traits conferred by the alternative sigma factor protein M-OM-^CL in the food-borne pathogen L. monocytogenes were investigated. M-OM-^CL was shown to be important for the efficient growth of this pathogen exposed to food preservative measures such as low storage temperatures, elevated osmolarity and acidity. Based on high throughput phenotypic analysis, M-OM-^CL function was also found to be protective in L. monocytogenes EGDe cells exposed to several antimicrobial compounds including some of the antibiotics currently applied in listeriosis treatment. The expression of flagella genes and motility were significantly compromized upon loss of M-OM-^CL function. A comparative transcriptome analysis of exponential growth EGDe wild type and sigL null cells unveiled 394 genes that are positively controlled through M-OM-^CL dependent transcriptional regulation mechanisms in this bacterium during growth at low (3M-BM-0C) and optimized (37M-BM-0C) temperature conditions. Genes identified indicate that M-OM-^CL is a pleitropic transcription regulator mediating positive expression control of genes involved in diverse cellular processes including protein synthesis, molecular transport, energy metabolism, respiration, transcription regulation, metabolite biosynthesis, and cell envelope composition modification. Overall our observations have revealed that the loss of M-OM-^CL function leads to extensive gene expression defects in L. monocytogenes EGDe cells, and these are consistent with compromized nutrient assimilation, energy metabolism, protein synthesis, and metabolite biosynthesis processes as well as altered cell envelope composition and motility.

Project description:Comparison of transcriptome of L. monocytogenes EGDe at 24M-BM-0C and 37M-BM-0C L. monocytogenes EGDe cells used in this study were grown either at 24M-BM-0C or 37M-BM-0C to an OD600 = 0.82-0.87 and the transcriptome of these two conditions was compared Six biologically independent cultures of each at 24M-BM-0C and 37M-BM-0C grown L. monocytogenes EGDe were used for total RNA isolation (six RNA sets). Three array experiments were performed with Cy5-labelled cDNA derived from at 24M-BM-0C grown Listeria and Cy3-labelled cDNA derived from at 37M-BM-0C grown cells. For the three other RNA sets a dye swap was performed, that means the three other array experiments were performed with Cy3-labelled cDNA derived form at 24M-BM-0C grown Listeria and Cy5-labelled cDNA from at 37M-BM-0C grown cells. As all oligonuceotides are spotted twice on an array, technical duplicates were performed for each experiment. The overall design results in 12 data points for the expression of each gene.

Project description:Among the three major genetic lineages of L. monocytogenes (i.e. LI, LII, and LIII), LI and LII are predominantly associated with foodborne listeriosis outbreaks, whereas LIII is rarely implicated in human infections. In a previous study, we identified a Crp/Fnr family transcription factor lmo0753 that was highly specific to outbreak-associated LI and LII but absent from LIII. Lmo0753 shares two conserved functional domains including a DNA-binding domain with the well-characterized master virulence regulator PrfA in L. monocytogenes. In this study, we constructed a lmo0753 deletion and complementation mutants of the fully sequenced L. monocytogenes LII strain EGDe. We found that deletion of lmo0753 led to the loss of L-rhamnose utilization in EGDe. Transcriptomic comparison of the EGDe lmo0753 deletion mutant and the wild type incubated in phenol-red medium containing L-rhamnose as the sole carbon source revealed 126 (4.5%) and 546 (19.5%) out of 2,798 genes in the EGDe genome that were up- and down-regulated for more than 2-fold, respectively. Genes involved in biotin biosynthesis, general stress response and rhamnose metabolism were shown to be differentially regulated by Lmo0753. Findings from this study may partially explain why LIII of L. monocytogenes is underrepresented in the environment and rarely associated with human listeriosis outbreaks due to the inability of rhamnose utilization. We report the transcriptomic profile of L. monocytogenes Δlmo0753 LII strain (EGDe) in broth media with L-rhamnose as the sole carbon source.
