Project description:Transcriptome profiles of control Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 cells were compared with ctsR, hrcA, and ctsR-hrcA deletion mutants grown in MRS media at 28 and 40 degrees Celcius.
Project description:Transcriptome profiles of control Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 cells were compared with ctsR, hrcA, and ctsR-hrcA deletion mutants grown in MRS media at 28 and 40 degrees Celcius. Continuous cultures were performed in duplo on MRS media and whole genome transcriptome analysis was performed on the WCFS1 (WT), NZ3410CM (harboring a chlooramphenicol resistance marker (cat) replacement mutation in ctsR, dc), NZ3425CM (harboring a cat replacement mutation in hrcA, dh), and NZ3423 (harboring deletion mutation in ctsR and a cat replacement mutation inhrcA, dcdh) strains.
Project description:Whole genome transcriptional profiling was used to characterize the response of Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 human isolate during challenge with oleuropein. Twelve independent experiments were performed and mixed at random in groups of four for total of three RNA samples. The transcriptional profile shows that Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 adapts its metabolic capacity to acquire certain carbohydrates and repress the expression of genes involved in fatty acid biosyntheis. The transcriptomic datasets also revealed the downregulation of genes related to the biosynthesis of capsular polysaccharides and genes coding for ABC-type transporters. In addition, induction of oligopeptide permeases is also part of the response of Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 to oleuropein.
Project description:Transcriptome profiles of control Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 cells were compared with 8% ethanol adapted cells and with 10 min or 30 min 8% ethanol shocked cells.
Project description:Lactobacillus plantarum was grown anaerobically on 4 different sugars (Mannose Lactose Fructose and Sucrose) to OD600 = 1.0. Samples were compared with a similar grown culture on glucose. An independnet biological duplicate of tht experimnet was performed (samples 1 and 2). L. plantarum WCFS1 grown in glucose, mannose, fructose, and sucrose
Project description:In order to understand LBG derived galacto-manno-oligosaccharides utilization by a probiotic bacterium, Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1, we have grown Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 (in duplicates) till mid log phase (OD600nm ~0.5, 10 h) in carbon free MRS (de Man, Rogosa Sharpe ) media containing either galacto-manno-oligosaccharides, mannose, glucose or galactose (1% w/v) as the sole carbon source.
Project description:Transcriptome profiles of control Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 cells were compared with 8% ethanol adapted cells and with 10 min or 30 min 8% ethanol shocked cells. A continuous culture was performed in duplicate on medium containing ehtanol (tE). A shock experiment was performed in duplicate in which ethanol was added to a batch culture immediately after t0 (=control). The culture was sampled at time=0 (t0), time =10 min (t1) and time=30 min (t2).
Project description:Whole genome transcriptional profiling was used to characterize the response of Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 human isolate during challenge with hydroxytyrosol. Twelve independent experiments were performed and mixed at random in groups of four for total of three RNA samples. Whole genome transcriptional profiling was used to characterize the response of Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 human isolate during challenge with hydroxytyrosol. Twelve independent experiments were performed and mixed at random in groups of four for total of three RNA samples. The transcriptional profile reveals the induction of genes related to defense mechanisms against oxidative challenge. This response include genes related to inactivation of toxic oxygen radicals, probably derived from the autooxidation of hydroxytyrosol and genes involved in repairing the damage of oxygen radicals on proteins, including those involved in the metabolism of sulphur amino acids. Genes involved in peptidoglycan turnover, strenghthening of the cell wall and genes coding for osmoprotectants transporters, were downregulated. In addition, genes coding for elements typically involved in the stringent response, including ribosomal proteins, enzymes involved in the metabolism of the ppGpp alarmone, nitrogen metabolism, cell division and general stress proteins, were differentially regulated by hydroxytyrosol.
Project description:Whole genome transcriptional profiling was used to characterize the response of Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 human isolate during challenge with 1.5 mM gallic acid (GA). Twelve independent experiments were performed and mixed at random in groups of four for total of three RNA samples. The transcriptional profile reveals a massive induction of genes involved in transport and decarboxilation of gallic acid.
