Effects of housekeeping sortase disruption on Bifidibacterium bifidum toranscriptome. Effects of housekeeping sortase disruption on Bifidibacterium bifidum toranscriptome

To explore the molecular mechanism of B. bifidum adhesion, we compared transcriptomes among WT and non-adhesive mutants cultured in MRS or m-ILS medium. Overall design: WT and three non-adahesive mutants (#1476, #1543, and #1649) growing exponentially in MRS or m-ILS medium were sampled at 3 hours after 5%(v/v) inoculation. Single experiment was performed for each sample.
