Project description:Bacteriophages (phages) are widespread in Streptococcus pneumoniae, with most strains carrying phage genomes integrated into the chromosome. RNA sequencing was utilised to explore whether phage gene expression could be detected. The pneumococcal reference strain PMEN3 (Spain9V-3), which contained two full-length phages and one partial phage, was grown in broth culture and mitomycin C was added to facilitate phage induction. PMEN3 culture samples were taken at sequential time points and RNA was extracted and sequenced.
Project description:This series represents the gene expression study of phages DT1 and 2972 during the whole process of infection. Gene expression was measured at nine time intervals (0, 2, 7, 12, 17, 22, 27, 32, 37 minutes) during phage infection.
