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.
Project description:The natural biotope of Bacillus subtilis is the upper layer of soil where it grows as a biofilm. To mimic this physiological development and study the impact of nanoparticles during the formation of a biofilm in a contaminated soil, we have studied the proteomic response of the ancestral strain Bacillus subtilis 3610, which is able to form biofilm contrary to the 168 laboratory strain. The bacteria were grown on soft agar plates containing n-ZnO, n-TiO2 or ZnSO4 metal ion.
Project description:The gene expression of Bacillus subtilis 168 showed 3 major patterns including early expression, transition expression and late expression We monitored Bacillus subtilis gene expression by using microarray at differernt time points
