Project description:To find a promoter upregulated in the presence of rotten meat, we exposed B. subtilis 168 to the volatiles of rotten meat (mixed beef/pork) and performed a microarray comparing it to B. subtilis which was not exposed to the meat. The results where used to build iGEM Groningen 2012s Food Warden, a spoiled meat detector. Find more information at: 2012.igem.org/Team:Groningen
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: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. For each sample analyzed in this study three biological replicates were performed. Three different samples were taken from a strain expressing the WalR-SPA protein as well as from wild-type (168) without a tagged WalR. Samples were taken from exponentially growing cells in low phosphate medium (LPDM) as well as from phosphate-limited cells (T2). Each sample compares ChIP DNA vs. Total DNA from the same cells.
Project description:Transcriptional response of Bacillus subtilis to moenomycin in wild-type 168. Bacillus subtilis 168, WT (-MOE) vs. WT (+MOE). The experiment was conducted in triplicate using three independent total RNA preparations. Untreated samples were labeled with Alexa Fluor 555 and moenomycin treated samples were labeled with Alexa Fluor 647.
