The YmdB phosphodiesterase is a global regulator of biofilm-specific mRNA levels in Bacillus subtilis

Detailed description (other than provided below) of growth conditions, RNA preparation, cDNA synthesis and hybridization conditions can be found in the submitted paper. GSM956794-GSM956801: Bacillus subtilis 168 wild type and its ymdB derivative strain were grown in CSE-Glu medium and cells were harvested at mid exponential (OD600 ~0.8) and early stationary phase (OD600 ~2.2-2.4). For both time points, 4 biological replicates were used, resulting 4 slides for both exponential and stationary phase. Dye swaps are included in both experiments. GSM1011025-GSM1011032: Bacillus subtilis GP966 antibiotic tagged synthetic wild type and its ymdB E39Q point mutant strain GP969 were grown in CSE-Glu medium and cells were harvested at mid exponential (OD600 ~0.8) and early stationer phase (OD600 ~2.2-2.4). For both time points, 4 biological replicates were used, resulting 4 slides for both exponential and stationer phase. Dye swaps are included in both experiments.
