Bacteria were diluted 1:50 in 20 ml fresh BHI and incubated using a 100 ml Erlenmeyer flask at 37 °C with shaking (180 rpm, Unitron [Infors]). Bacterial cells were harvested at OD600 1.0 (3 h), OD600 2.0 (4 h), OD600 2.5 (8 h) OD600 2.5 (16 h) using RNAprotect (Qiagen) according to manufacturer. Protocol Name P-MEXP-57899 P-MEXP-60549 P-MEXP-57900 P-MEXP-57901 P-MEXP-58053 P-MEXP-58060 Protocol Type nucleic_acid_extraction labeling labeling hybridization feature_extraction bioassay_data_transformation Protocol Description Total bacterial RNA was extracted using RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen) with a prior wash with SET buffer (50 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA and 30 mM Tris-HCl [pH 7.0]) containing 10% SDS, a pre-treatment at 37°C for 30 min at 350 rpm with 0.1 ml Tris-HCl [pH 6.5] containing 50 mg/ml lysozyme, 25 U of mutanolysin, 40 U of SUPERase, 0.2 mg of proteinase K (Ambion) and finally treated with 4 U of DNaseI (RNase free) (Ambion). The total RNA thus isolated was ethanol precipitated and quantified by absorbance at 260 nm and 280 nm and quality was analysed by Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer. cDNA was generated and labeled with CyDye Cy5 using 3 µg of total RNA with CyScribe Post-Labeling Kit (GE Health Care). The cDNA thus generated was quantified by absorbance at 550 nm and 650 nm for Cy3 using ND-1000 Spectrophotometer (NanoDrop technologies). cDNA was generated and labeled with CyDye Cy3 using 3 µg of total RNA with CyScribe Post-Labeling Kit (GE Health Care). The cDNA thus generated was quantified by absorbance at 550 nm and 650 nm for Cy3 using ND-1000 Spectrophotometer (NanoDrop technologies). Hybridization was performed in ASP Base Hybridizer (GE Health Care) for 12 hours at 42°C (as per Type 7*[star] slide manufacturer’s instruction) using 10 pmol of Cy dye incorporated cDNA of wild-type and mutant, 50 µl of hybridization buffer (GE Health Care) and 100 µl of deionized Formamide (Ambion) adjusting the hybridization solution up to 200 µl with dd water (Ambion) per slide. Hybridised Type 7*(star) slides were imaged with a Generation III Array Scanner (GE Health Care). The fluorescent signal intensities from each spot on the microarray were quantified using Spotfinder software (GE Health Care). Data from image analysis were averaged over the duplicate spots present in one array, and then normalised in a two-step process; first, an intrachip normalisation was carried out in order to standardise signals from the Cy5 or the Cy3 channel. In a second step, we normalised over the entire series to bring the means to a common value. The intrachip normalisation was carried out using a robust local regression function (1) as implemented in the BIOCONDUCTOR package marrayNorm (http://www.bioconductor.org/). The parameters were: global local regression by the loess function, considering the inner 40% of data, i.e. those values where the log ratio was between the 30th and the 70th percentile of the distribution. For the second interchip normalisation the signals from the Cy3 channel of the first chip were taken as reference, and for all other signals the median of the difference of the logarithmised values was taken as a correcting factor. In a prior check of the correlation coefficient, low-signal values were excluded from the calculation when they deviated from linearity. For details, see (2). The performance of the normalisation procedure was controlled by inspecting scatter plots for all possible combinations of signals. Missing data from the cDNA microarray analyses were replaced by the corresponding mean gene expression values calculated from the biological replicates or eliminated when this information was not available.
