Project description:Transcriptional profiling of DW2 E. coli cells in exponential growth phase that have a chromosomal deletion of the rnpb gene (which encodes the catalytic subunit of Ribonuclease P). We compared the test strain DW2/pFLP-Bs that expresses Bacillus subtilis rnpb from plasmid pFLP-Bs to reference strain DW2/pFLP-Ec, which expresses E. coli rnpb from plasmid pFLP-Ec.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in sporulating Bacillus subtilis 168 delta-prpE mutant, compared to the wild-type strain. The mutation engineered into this strain results in impaired germination of spores.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in sporulating Bacillus subtilis 168 delta-prpE mutant, compared to the wild-type strain. The mutation engineered into this strain results in impaired germination of spores. A six chip study using total RNA extracted from three separate wild-type cultures of sporulating Bacillus subtilis 168 and three separate cultures of sporulating mutant strain, Bacillus subtilis 168 delta-prpE, in which prpE (yjbP BSU11630) gene coding for a protein phosphatase is deleted entirely. Each chip consists of four fields able to measure the expression level of 4,104 genes from Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis strain 168 NC_000964 with eight 60-mer probe pairs (PM/MM) per gene, with two-fold technical redundancy.
Project description:Investigation of the kinetics of whole genome gene expression level changes in Bacillus subtilis NDmed strain during formation of submerged biofilm and pellicle. The Bacillus subtilis NDmed strain analyzed in this study is able to form thick and highly structured submerged biofilms as described in Bridier et al., (2011) The Spatial Architecture of Bacillus subtilis Biofilms Deciphered Using a Surface-Associated Model and In Situ Imaging. PLoS ONE 6(1):e16177.

We compared the test strain DW2/pFLP-Bs that expresses Bacillus subtilis rnpb from plasmid pFLP-Bs to reference strain DW2/pFLP-Ec, which expresses E. coli rnpb from plasmid pFLP-Ec. Two-strain experiment, wildtype proxy strain DW2/pFLP-Ec (reference) vs DW2/pFLP-Bs RT-10-2 (test) on each array. Biological replicates: 1 reference, 2 test. Four slides plus one dyeflip slide
Project description:Transcriptome comparison of Bacillus subtilis Natto under sliding permissive (0.7% agar) and restrictive (1.5% agar or spo0A mutant strain) conditions.
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.
