B.thetaiotaomicron mono-association versus B. thetaiotaomicron co-colonization with B. animalis or L. casei, PR chow, B6

Genome wide transcriptional comparison of B. thetaiotaomicron mono-association vs. B. thetaiotaomicron bi-association with B.animalis or L. casei. Cecal populations from 20d colonizations with B6 gnotobiotic mice fed a standard-chow polysaccharide rich (PR) diet (n=5 samples/group) were profiled. Keywords: Mono-association vs. Bi-association, in vivo Total RNA was prepared from cecal contents of 20 day associated gnotobiotic mice and hybridized to B. thetaiotaomicron/B. longum GeneChips.
