Project description:RNA-Seq data encompass transcriptomes from two sequential isolates of B. contaminans ST872. Each isolate was cultivated in three conditions (serum, sputum and BSM medium) in three biological replicates.
Project description:Salmonella is an important enteric pathogen that causes a spectrum of diseases varying from mild gastroenteritis to life threatening typhoid fever. Salmonella does not have lac operon. However, E. Coli, Salmonella’s close relative, has lac operon. Being an enteric pathogen like E. coli, Salmonella will also benefit from lac operon. Then, why Salmonella has lost lac operon?. To address this question, lacI, an important component of lac operon was expressed in Salmonella via pTrc99A plasmid. As a control, pTrc99A without lacI was also expressed in Salmonella. The effect of LacI on the transcription profile of Salmonella was analyzed using microarray technique.
Project description:The data represent whole genome sequencing of two sequential isolates of B. contaminans ST872 that have been retrieved form a cystic fibrosis patient during different phases of chronic pulmonary infection.
