Project description:RNA-seq experiment comparing the transcriptomes of Bacillus cereus G9241 WT to B. cereus G9241 ∆pBCXO1 when cultured both 37 and 25 degree celsius. B. cereus G9241 is a B. cereus sensu stricto strain that was isolated from a welder with and anthrax-like illness. B. cereus G9241 carries the plasmids pBCXO1 and pBC210. pBCX01 has 99.6% sequence identity to pXO1 carried by Bacillus anthracis and encodes the tripartite anthrax toxin genes and atxA, a mammalian virulence transcriptional regulator. B. cereus G9241 WT and B. cereus G9241 ∆pBCXO1 were cultured to exponential phase at either 37 or 25 degree celsius before samples were taken for RNA extraction, library prep and sequencing.

Project description:The aim of the study was to carry out a CGH study utilizing a set of 39 diverse Bacillus isolates. Thirty four B. cereus and five B. anthracis strains and isolates were chosen so as to represent different lineages based on previous characterizations, including MLEE and MLST (Helgason, Okstad et al. 2000; Helgason, Tourasse et al. 2004). They represent the spectrum of B. cereus phenotypic diversity by including soil, dairy and periodontal isolates in addition to virulent B. anthracis strains.

Project description:We isolated an atmospheric contaminant, subsequently identified as a new strain of Bacillus mobilis, which showed a novel, robust, inducible filamentous sliding motility and completely colonized a bacterial culture plate in less than 48 h under some conditions. This flagella-independent sliding motility was characterized by long filamentous cells at the expanding edge, and was induced when cells were inoculated onto lawns of metabolically inactive Campylobacter jejuni cells, heat killed bacterial biomass, and milk or blood dried onto agar plates. Phosphatidylcholine (PC), bacterial membrane components, and sterile human fecal extracts were sufficient to induce filamentous expansion. Screening of eight other Bacillus spp. (five from the B. cereus group and three other Bacillus spp.) showed that filamentous motility was conserved amongst B. cereus group species to varying degrees. RNAseq of filamentously expanding cells collected from PC and milk lawn plates in comparison to rod-shaped cells from control plates revealed that genes related to metabolism, ion and amino acid transport were differently regulated, genes controlling sporulation were reduced, and some virulence genes (e.g., hblA/B/C/D and plcR) were increased. We hypothesize that the robust and conserved nature of filamentous motility in pathogenic B. cereus group species can enhance bacterial colonization during host colonization.

Project description:The goal of this study is the discovery of (a) meaningful phylogenomic relationships among members of this B. cereus/B. anthracis group, and (b) reliable gene-phenotype associations, e.g. recognition of links between genomic traits and the ability of certain strains to cause various forms of disease. We also tried to elucidate genome evolution aspects that may lead to the emergence of variants that are capable (or have the potential) of causing anthrax-like disease. This large-scale comparative genomics approach is unprecedented for this taxonomic group. Dr. A. Hoffmaster (CDC) provided the PFGRC with 73 B. cereus and B. anthracis isolates from the CDC culture collection. Of these, 27 were isolated from patients with severe or systemic disease; ten isolates of this group were obtained from patients (welding factory workers) with anthrax-like disease or from the environment near their workplace. Another set of 26 represented isolates from food-born illnesses. Of the 26 gastrointestinal disease isolates (GIDI), 10 were obtained from patients with diarrhea, whereas another set of 10 had been shown to harbor the emetic (vomit) toxin gene by PCR. The rest of the group consisted of 20 isolates with various phenotypes. All strains were screened for their genomic content using the B. cereus/B. anthracis species microarray.

The rest of the group consisted of 20 isolates with various phenotypes. All strains were screened for their genomic content using the B. cereus/B. anthracis species microarray. Seventy-three query strains were investigated in this study, with each query strain hybridized against the reference strain, Sterne. Dye-swap experiments were performed with all the 73 strains on both chipA and chipB of the microarray, for a total of four or more hybridizations per query strain. Each 70mer oligo spotted on the B. cereus species microarray is spotted once. Positive controls on the array consist of oligos designed from the sequenced reference genome, Sterne, and negative controls on the array consist of oligos designed from the thale cress plant, Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:Pathogenic species belonging to Bacillus cereus sensu lato group possess a high evolutionary advantage in the environment and in food matrices thanks to their capacity to survive as silent spores to harsh environmental insults and grow at relatively low temperatures. Ready to re-heat products are at severe risk for contamination by members of Bacillus cereus s.l. group if not stored at proper conditions. In this work, the goal was to assess, by means of a genome-wide transcriptional assay, the isolated strain Bacillus cereus UC10070 gene expression behind the process of spore germination and consequent outgrowth in an artificially contaminated vegetable-based food model. A vegetable food model subjected to a heat treatment was determined to present favourable conditions for spores germination. Microscopic analyses together with OD measurements were applied to select the key steps of B. cereus cell cycle to be used for the microarray analysis. Using this approach we found a total of 1,646 probe sets differentially expressed and modulated during the entire B. cereus life cycle in the vegetable foodstuff. RNA was isolated from the dormant spores (DS), germinating spores at 40 minutes (GSP), early-log phase at 2h (C2h) and late log phase cells at 12 hours (C12h) after thermal treatment of B. cereus UC10070 previously isolated froma biofilm on a spoiled vegetable-based puree. There were 3 biological replicates (independent cultures) for each condition. Complete genome sequence of B. thuringiensis sv konkukian str. 97-27 (NCBI Reference Sequence: NC_005957.1) was chosen for its high homology with B. cereus s.l. UC10070, to design probes corresponding to 5,197 genes spotted in duplicates onto ElectraSenseH 12K microarrays chip.
