ABSTRACT: Various endospore-forming species of the genera Bacillus, Paenibacillus, Terribacillus, and Virgibacillus, isolated from heroin samples. Genome sequencing and assembly
Project description:Paenibacillus larvae, the causal agent of American Foulbrood disease (AFB), affects honeybee health worldwide. The present study investigates the transcriptional response of this Gram-positive, endospore-forming bacterium to bodily fluids from honeybee larvae. Four different conditions were evaluated with a loop design: sampling of in vitro grown P. larvae cultures one or four hours after addition of larval fluids or BHIT-broth (C1, T1, C4, T4).
Project description:The transcriptome profiles of sporulating vs non-sporulating cells, within an isogenic culture were compared. RNA was isolated from endospore containing cells which were separated from non-spore forming cells using buoyant density gradient centrifugation within an isogenic culture (details in Veening et al, submitted).
