doi: 10.1186/1471-2164-14-696

Figure Lengend Snippet: Microarray analysis of miRNA expression during bacterial infections of zebrafish embryos and adult fish. The Venn diagrams show the miRBase annotated miRNAs or miRNA star sequences (*) that were up-regulated (A) or down-regulated (B) during infection of zebrafish embryos with S. typhimurium SL1027 or infection of adult zebrafish with M. marinum Mma20. S. typhimurium infection of embryos was performed by micro-injection into the caudal vein at 28 hpf and miRNA expression was analyzed at 8 hpi in comparison with control embryos mock-injected with PBS. Adult zebrafish were infected with M. marinum by intraperitoneal infection and miRNA expression at 6 dpi was compared with PBS-injected controls.

Article Title: Metabolic Rearrangements Causing Elevated Proline and Polyhydroxybutyrate Accumulation During the Osmotic Adaptation Response of Bacillus megaterium

doi: 10.3389/fbioe.2020.00047

Figure Lengend Snippet: Weighed Venn diagrams of the number of transcripts and proteins whose concentration was significantly altered in B. megaterium growing in M9 minimal medium with 0.6, 1.2 and 1.8 M NaCl, respectively. A gene or a transcript was considered significantly regulated when its concentration was either 1.75-fold higher or lower compared to 0 M NaCl. Gene expression was determined by microarray analysis and intracellular proteins were identified and quantified by proteome analysis using LC-IMS E .

Article Snippet: Then, samples were loaded on an Agilent microarray slide (8 × 15 K custom made) comprising 2–3 60 bp DNA probes for each gene of B. megaterium and hybridization took place for 17 h at 65°C and 10 min –1 in a hybridization oven (Agilent Technologies, Waldbronn, Germany).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Pox route and overflow metabolism in B. megaterium DSM319 growing in M9 minimal medium supplemented with different NaCl concentrations. Purple arrows correspond to reactions of the Pox route while red arrows indicate organic acid secretions. Gene expression was determined by microarray analysis using purified RNA samples obtained from four biological replicates. Intracellular proteins were identified and quantified by proteome analysis using LC-IMS E for cells originating from three biological replicates. Values are indicated as fold change compared to expression in cells grown at 37°C in M9 minimal medium without additional NaCl supplementation. Metabolites were quantified by mass spectroscopy. Ach: acetyl-CoA hydrolase; AckA: acetate kinase; AcsA: acetyl-CoA synthetase; Ldh: lactate dehydrogenase; Pdh: pyruvate dehydrogenase; Pox: pyruvate oxidase; Pta: phosphate acetyltransferase.

doi: 10.3389/fbioe.2020.00047

Figure Lengend Snippet: Integrated view of the response of the central carbon metabolism of B. megaterium DSM319 to ionic osmotic stress. Transcriptome and proteome data are indicated as the determined fold change compared to cultivation in minimal medium without NaCl supplementation. Gene expression was determined by microarray analysis using purified RNA samples obtained from four biological replicates. Intracellular proteins were identified and quantified by proteome analysis using LC-IMS E for cells originating from three replicates. Bar plots represent intracellular metabolite concentrations in μmol g CDW –1 . Intracellular metabolite concentrations were determined by LC-MS/MS using a differential method, i.e., subtracting extracellular metabolite concentration from the global metabolite concentration.
