Project description:The regulatory role of the Fis protein in fis and in the transcription of several gene regions during mid-exponential and late-stationary phase, and during different growth aeration regimes, has been investigated. Studies were done during those two growth phases and in aerated and non-aerated (microaerobic) conditions, to measure Fis enrichment and binding peaks in strategic gene regions by genome-wide microarray analysis ChIP-chip. This research investigation points to central roles for SPI-1, SPI-2, DNA gyrase and topoisomerase I, the elements of the stringent response, and the regulatory function of Fis-binding patterns, in setting and re-setting the activity of the fis gene and other involved promoters as a function of the growth conditions and aeration regimes experienced by Salmonella.
Project description:Investigation of gene expression level changes in Salmonella Typhiumurium SL1344 (R27) compared to the wild-type SL1344 strain when grown at different growth temperatures and growth phases. A 24 microarray study was performed using total RNA recovered from three separate wild-type cultures of SL1344 and three separate cultures of SL1344 (R27) grown to exponential and stationary phase at 25oC and 37oC. Each microarray measured the expression level of 4,527 genes from Salmonella Typhimurium SL1344 chromosome, 103 genes from plasmid pSLT, 100 genes from plasmid pRSF, 14 genes from plasmid pCOL1B and 207 genes from plasmid R27. Seven probes were present per transcript, with two-fold technical redundancy.

One sample with four different treatments. Three biological replicates per sample. The Aerated 2 hour sample was set as the control condition for all samples.
Project description:The aim of this experiment was to determine changes in transcription profile of Salmonella SL1344 and SL1344 ∆acrB over the growth curve. Samples of both strains were taken after 1, 3 and 5 hours of growth (corresponding to early- and late-exponential phase and stationary phase) in LB media. Cells were harvested and RNA extraction, library preparation and sequencing using Illumina HiSeq were carried out by GENEWIZ Inc.
Project description:ChIP-chip analysis of RNA Polymerase (RNAP), RpoD, RpoE, RpoH and RpoN in exponential phase (OD 0.2) and early stationary phase (OD 2.0) Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium SL1344 cultures

Project description:Transcriptional profiles during all phases of growth of Salmonella Typhimurium SL1344 were obtained and used to investigate growth phase-dependent alterations in gene expression. Viable count growth curve analysis of the growth system showed a culture lag time of 2.09 hours, and profiles at 4, 20, 40, 60, 90 and 120 minutes were measured accordingly. For comparison, profiles of the inoculum (0 min), mid-exponential (380 min), late-exponential (630 min), early-stationary (900 min) and late-stationary phase (2880 min) were also obtained. Large-scale gene-expression changes were seen, with substantial changes within 4 minutes of inoculation, indicating the speed and sophistication at which Salmonella senses its new environment during lag phase.
