Addition of Exogenous AI-2 to C. jejuni 11168 Wild Type and LuxS01.. Campylobacter jejuni

Transcriptional profiling of Campylobacter jejuni NCTC 11168 wild type and LuxS01 mutant strains comparing the effects of exogenously added in vitro-produced autoinducer 2 (AI-2) versus a control buffer to both strains. Overall design: Two-condition experiment, addition of exogenous AI-2 to both the parent and mutant 11168 strains. Control microarrays included comparing 11168 with AI-2 free buffer vs 11168 with AI-2-free buffer and mutant with AI-2 free buffer versus mutant with AI-2 free buffer used for analyses. 3 biological replicates for each, independently grown and harvested.
