Vibrio vulnificus Wild-type vs. smcR mutant biofilm cells (V. vulnificus quorum sensing master regulator)

Two-condition experiment, Wild-type biofilm cells vs. smcR mutant biofilm cells. Biological replicates: 3 control, 3 mutant strains, independently grown and harvested. One replicate per array. A significant portion of the SmcR regulon predicted on the basis of microarray analysis results is indeed regulated by SmcR and that SmcR functions on biofilm dispersion in V. vulnificus. For transcriptome analysis, the V. vulnificus whole genome TwinChip, manufactured by e-biogen (Seoul, South Korea), was used.
