Project description:Escherichia coli DH1 cultures with treated with 6% 1,4 Butanediol for 1 hour and compared with untreated cultures The data from this experiment was used to identify a candidate for further study as described in Szmidt et al 2013 Utilizing a highly responsive gene, yhjX, in E. coli based production of 1,4-Butanediol submitted to Chemical Engineering Science
Project description:The transcriptional profile of Escherichia coli O157 treated with small molecule inhibitors of type III secretion was determined. Four variations of the small molecule inhibitor were assessed for global changes in transcription by treating cells with 20uM of inhibitor or an equivalent volume of DMSO (inhibitor solvent). Keywords: treatment, dose, Cy3, Cy5, 2-colour For each inhibitor, biological tripicates of treated (20uM inhibitor in DMSO) and untreated (DMSO only) cultures were grown in 25ml of MEM-HEPES supplemented with 0.1% Glucose and 250nM Fe(NO3)2. RNA was extracted from 15ml of culture at OD 0.7 and labeled with Cy5 (treated) and Cy3 (untreated) (excepting ME0055 that was performed as a dye swap). Labeled untreated RNA was pooled prior to hybridisation. Treated RNA (biological replicates) and pooled untreated RNA was hybridised to microarray slides. Slides were scanned using an Axon 4100A scanner and data processed using Genespring GX.
Project description:DNA microarray experiments were used to compare gene expression profiles of untreated and 5-azacytidine treated Escherichia coli at both logarithmic phase and early stationary phase The goal was to determine the effect of cytosine DNA methylation loss on gene expression (5-azacytidine is a methylation inhibitor)
