Project name: Comparison of Porphyromonas gingivalis 381 and W83 gene expression between surface translocation and biofilm mode

Description: Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) 381 and W83 growing in motility condition (i.e. stabbed in soft agar culture) and on surface of solid agar culture (Biofilm) were prepared. Applied medium was BAPHK supplemented with hemin and menadione . The cultures were then permitted to grow anaerobically at 37°C for 24 hours, which corresponds to initial stages of surface translocation by P. gingivalis. At this point, RNA extraction was performed using the cultures, and these samples were processed and submitted for RNA sequencing using an Illumina platform. Significant changes in gene expression were observed in cells growing in motility and biofilm modes , and the majority of changes were associated with cell surface proteins, membrane proteins, biosynthesis of folates and bioenergetic pathways.Overall design: Both sets of cultures were grown in triplicate and RNA extraction was performed inside anaerobic chamber.
