Project description:In order to obtain a global view about the strategies used by phytopathogenic bacteria, in response to physiologically relevant temperature changes. We used the DNA microarray technology to compare gene expression profile in the model bacterial pathogen P. syringae pv. phaseolicola NPS3121 grown at 18 ºC and 28ºC.
Project description:In order to obtain a global view about the strategies used by phytopathogenic bacteria, in response to physiologically relevant temperature changes. We used the DNA microarray technology to compare gene expression profile in the model bacterial pathogen P. syringae pv. phaseolicola NPS3121 grown at 18 M-BM-:C and 28M-BM-:C. To carry out this study, we used this DNA microarray of P. syringae pv. phaseolicola NPS3121. Each microarray experiment was repeated six times; two technical replicates with the same RNA samples and three biological replicates using RNA isolated from a different culture.
Project description:P. syringae pv. phaseolicola is the causal agent of the halo blight disease of beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L). The disease attacks both foliage and pods of plant host. Many genes involve in pathogenicity and virulence are induced only in plant or in the presence of host components. In this work we investigated the effect of bean pod extract on the transcriptomic profile of the bacterium, when grown at low temperature in minimal medium with or without bean pod extract.

Many genes involve in pathogenicity and virulence are induced only in plant or in the presence of host components. In this work we investigated the effect of bean pod extract on the transcriptomic profile of the bacterium, when grown at low temperature in minimal medium with or without bean pod extract. Two RNA samples were compared, one prepared from cells grown in minimal medium M9 and the other from cells grown in minimal medium supplemented with bean pod extract.To control de biological variation that might interfere with data interpretation, a minimum of three biological replicates and two technical replicates (swap) were prepared.
Project description:Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola (Pph) is a significant bacterial pathogen of agricultural crops, and phage Φ6 and other members of the dsRNA virus family Cystoviridae undergo lytic (virulent) infection of Pph, using the type IV pilus as the initial site of cellular attachment. Despite the popularity of Pph/phage Φ6 as a model system in evolutionary biology, Pph resistance to phage Φ6 remains poorly characterized. To investigate differences between phage Φ6 resistant Pseudomonas syringae pathovar phaseolicola strains, we performed expression analysis of super and non piliated strains of Pseudomonas syringae to determine the genetic cause of resistance to viral infection.
