Expression profiling of Moraxella catarrhalis RH4 during in vitro growth in brain heart infusion (BHI) medium

Transcriptome analysis of M. catarrhalis RH4 predicted coding sequences and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs) regions. The results described in this study are further discussed in De Vries, S.P.W., van Hijum, S.A.F.T., Schueler, W., Riesbeck, K., Hays, J.P., Hermans, P.W.M., Bootsma, H.J.; Genome analysis of Moraxella catarrhalis strain RH4: a human respiratory tract pathogen; Journal of Bacteriology Total RNA from lag phase (OD620 = 0.2-0.3), exponential phase (OD620 = 1.2-1.4), or stationary phase (OD620 = 2.0-2.2) bacteria grown in triplicate in BHI medium, and hybridized in duplicate on 4x72K custom design Nimblegen arrays
