E. coli BW25113 ompA mutant vs wild type biofilm and E. coli BW25113 ompA/pCA24N_ompA vs ompA/pCA24N suspension cells. Escherichia coli

This Series involves two studies: 1) The gene expression of E. coli K-12 BW25113 ompA mutant strain vs. wild type strain glasswool biofilm cells and E. coli K-12 BW25113 ompA mutant vs. wild type polystyrene biofilm cells. 2) The gene expression of E. coli BW25113 ompA/pCA24N_ompA vs. ompA/pCA24N suspension cells. Overall design: Strains: E. coli K-12 BW25113 wild type, ompA mutant Medium: LB Cell type: Biofilm cells grown on glasswool and polystyrene surfaces Time: 15 h Temperature: 37C Strains: BW25113 ompA/pCA24N_ompA and ompA/pCA24N Medium: LB Time: 7 h Temperature: 37C Cell type: suspension cells, induced by 0.1 mM IPTG
