Project description:Transcriptional profiling to investigate the roles of ClpP and ClpX of S. mutans RNA was extracted from four replicate samples of each strain of interest and labeled with Cy3. For each replicate, labeled RNA was hybridized to slides along with Cy5-labeled reference RNA, extracted from S. mutans UA159 cells grown to mid-log.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling to investigate the regulatory roles of SpxA and SpxB of S. mutans. RNA was extracted from four replicate samples of each strain of interest (spxA mutant, spxB mutant, spxAB double-mutant, UA159 wild type) and labeled with Cy3. For each replicate, labeled RNA was hybridized to slides along with Cy5-labeled reference RNA, extracted from S. mutans UA159 cells grown to mid-log.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of early logarithmic phase culture (O.D=0.2-0.3) of Streptococcus mutans UA159 comparing control of untreated Streptococcus mutans UA159 bacteria with Streptococcus mutans UA159 bacteria spplemented with 20µM synthetic DPD (pre-AI-2) which regulates gene expression via AI-2 quorum sensing system.Three compairisons were performed at pHs of 7,6 and 5.
Project description:Transcriptional analysis of glucose shock vs. steady-state growth in the parent strain and an acid sensitive mutant strain of S. mutans RNA was extracted from 4 replicate samples of S. mutans UA159 and UR117 (fabM mutant strain) grown in continuous culture to a steady-state pH value of 7. The cultures were exposed to a glucose shock (200mM) and samples were collected upon achieving culture pH value of 5.5. pH control was re-established and cultures were allowed to grow to a steady-state pH value of 5 (for UA159) and 5.5 (for fabM mutant). RNA was labeled with Cy3. For each replicate, labeled RNA was hybridized to slides along with Cy5-labeled reference RNA, extracted from S. mutans UA159 cultures grown to mid-log.
Project description:Transcriptional analysis of the regulator FabT in S. mutans RNA was extracted from 4 replicate samples of S. mutans UA159 and MU1591 (M-bM-^HM-^FfabT) grown in continuous culture to steady-state pH values of 7 and 5. RNA was labeled with Cy3. For each replicate, labeled RNA was hybridized to slides along with Cy5-labeled reference RNA, extracted from S. mutans UA159 cultures grown to mid-log.
Project description:Transcriptional analysis of the effects of oxygen concentraion in S. mutans RNA was extracted from 3 or 4 replicate samples of S. mutans UA159, UA159 grown in 8.4 % oxygen concentration and MU1020 (M-bM-^HM-^Fnox) grown in continuous culture to steady-state pH values of 7. RNA was labeled with Cy3. For each replicate, labeled RNA was hybridized to slides along with Cy5-labeled reference RNA, extracted from S. mutans UA159 cultures grown to mid-log.
