Project description:This series represents the work described in the publication Bacillus subtilis Genome Diversity by Earl et al. (Journal of Bacteriology, accepted) Keywords: comparative genomic hybridization
Project description:Genomic DNA prepared from B. subtilis 168 cells grown to stationary phase was hybridized to tiling arrays. The data are used in transcriptome studies to compute expression intensities from raw intensity data using a model of shift and drift and correcting for probe affinity variations as described in (Nicolas et al., 2009, Bioinformatics 25, 2341-2347).
Project description:This series of experiments was designed to identify the program of gene transcription for a single differentiating cell type during sporulation in Bacillus subtilis. The mother cell is one of two cell types generated by asymmetric division of sporulating cells approximately two hours after initiation of sporulation. The program is governed by a hierarchical cascade consisting of the transcription factors: sigmaE, sigmaK, GerE, GerR (YlbO) and SpoIIID. The characterization of the sigmaE regulon was reported in Eichenberger et al. (2003), J. Mol. Biol. 327, 945-972. Here we report the data for sigmaK, GerE, GerR and SpoIIID.
Project description:With these experiments we investigate the impact of the deletion of the gene encoding transcription termination Rho on the transcriptomes of two different Bacillus subtilis strains, BsB1 and NCIB3610. The results confirm massive increase of antisense transcription initially observed with tiling arrays in B. subtilis strain 1012 (Nicolas et al. 2012; PMID:22383849; GSE27303).
Project description:Identification of the specific WalR (YycF) binding regions on the B. subtilis chromosome during exponential and phosphate starvation growth phases. The data serves to extend the WalRK regulon in Bacillus subtilis and its role in cell wall metabolism, as well as implying a role in several other cellular processes.

Project description:In this study two genome-reduced Bacillus subtilis strains lacking about 36% of dispensable genetic information were constructed using a markerless and scarless deletion method. In order to analyze the consequences of the deletions for the bacteria, a multi-omics characterization of the reference strain Δ6 (Westers et al., 2003; PMID 12949151) and the two deletion strains was carried out. Bacteria were cultivated in complex medium supplemented with glucose, and samples of the same cultures were subjected to metabolome, proteome, and transcriptome analyses.These revealed a massive re-organization of metabolism as well as substantial changes in the transcriptome and the proteome.
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:Investigation of the kinetics of whole genome gene expression level changes in Bacillus subtilis NDmed strain during formation of submerged biofilm and pellicle. The Bacillus subtilis NDmed strain analyzed in this study is able to form thick and highly structured submerged biofilms as described in Bridier et al., (2011) The Spatial Architecture of Bacillus subtilis Biofilms Deciphered Using a Surface-Associated Model and In Situ Imaging. PLoS ONE 6(1):e16177.

The data are used in transcriptome studies to compute expression intensities from raw intensity data using a model of shift and drift and correcting for probe affinity variations as described in (Nicolas et al., 2009, Bioinformatics 25, 2341-2347). B. subtilis 168 was grown in LB medium to stationary phase. Genomic DNA was prepared from four independent cultures. After sonication, DNA was labeled with Cy3 and hybridized to tiling arrays.
