Characterization of the genes that were regulated by feeding Lactococcus Lactis.. Characterization of the genes that were regulated by feeding Lactococcus Lactis.

In the present study, we investigated the effects of feeding Lactococcus lactis using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model animal. The survial of the adult C. elegans fed L. lactis was significantly better than that of unfed animals (control) upon infection with pathogens. Overall design: Transcriptional profiling of three-day-old worms that were fed L. lactis L1, L2 or E. coli OP50 (control) for one day, by deep sequencing, using Illumina HiSeq.
