Transcriptome Profiling Reveals Stage-Specific Production and Requirement of Flagella during Biofilm Development in Bordetella bronchiseptica (original) (raw)
Figure 1
Hierarchical clustering of the transcriptional response of B. bronchiseptica strain RB50 throughout biofilm development identified by comparing cDNA from planktonic cells to biofilm cells at 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours of growth.
A) Expression profiles representing global transcriptional changes B) Expression profiles of annotated B. bronchiseptica transcription factors. C) Expression profiles of annotated B. bronchiseptica transcription factors maximally expressed under biofilm growth conditions at 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours. Data are mean centered for each array element and averaged from three biological replicates. All expression profiles of genes are in row and are represented using the color scale at top. Yellow, indicates increased expression in biofilm cells; blue, decreased gene expression in biofilm cells; black, no significant change in gene expression.
