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:Transcriptional profiling of Haloarcula hispanica wild-type strain cultured in different media comparing MG medium with 168 medium. H. hispanica wild-type strain can accumulate PHBV in MG medium, while can not in 168 medium. Goal was to explore the PHA biosynthesis and its impact on central metabolism in H. hispanica.
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:Transcriptional profiling of Haloarcula hispanica wild-type strain cultured in different media comparing MG medium with 168 medium. H. hispanica wild-type strain can accumulate PHBV in MG medium, while can not in 168 medium. Goal was to explore the PHA biosynthesis and its impact on central metabolism in H. hispanica. Total RNA from MG and 168 were used to generate target cDNA, and then hybridized to 8*15K Haloarcula hispanica genome array genechips, representing about 3800 genes.
