Project description:Acyl-homoserine lactone (acyl-HSL) quorum sensing was first discovered in Vibrio fischeri where it serves as a key control element of the seven-gene luminescence (lux) operon. Since this initial discovery, other bacteria have been shown to control hundreds of genes by acyl-HSL quorum sensing. Until recently, it has been difficult to examine the global nature of quorum sensing in V. fischeri. However, the complete genome sequence of V. fischeri is now available and this has enabled us to use transcriptomics to identify quorum-sensing regulated genes and to study the quorum-controlled regulon of this bacterium. In this study, we used DNA microarray technology to identify over two-dozen V. fischeri genes regulated by the quorum sensing signal N-3-oxohexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (3OC6-HSL).

Expression data from wild-type Vibrio fischeri and a flrA deletion mutant.

Project description:The marine bacterium Vibrio fischeri requires flagellar motility to undergo symbiotic initiation with its host, the Hawaiian bobtail squid Euprymna scolopes. We sought to identify the genes activated by the sigma54-dependent flagellar master regulator, FlrA, in V. fischeri, thereby determining the flagellar regulon in this model symbiont. We performed microarray analysis on wild-type Vibrio fischeri ES114 and a flrA deletion mutant, DM159, grown to mid-log phase in seawater tryptone, a condition in which cells are highly motile (two biological replicates per condition).
