Title: Monitoring population dynamics of Escherichia coli K-12 in stationary phase - An application of the new resource of E. coli -
Abstact: We monitored population changes in mixed-cultures of our recently developed single-gene deletion mutant library of Escherichia coli K-12 carrying molecular bar-codes. Our bar-coded library is similar to the single-gene deletion Keio mutant library, except target genes were replaced with a chloramphenicol instead of a kanamycin resistance cassette and deletions have unique 20-nt molecular bars juxtaposed priming sites. We previously showed how our Keio and bar-coded single-gene deletion mutant libraries can be used together to analyze genetic interaction systematically by constructing double mutants via conjugation. Here we demonstrate how our bar-coded single-gene deletion mutant library can be used to identify genes whose absence loss leads to enhanced or reduced survival under different growth conditions. In brief, we created a seed culture by combining equal portions of each bar-coded deletion mutant from individual over-night cultures. We monitored the population dynamics of cultures inoculated from the seed culture during long-term stationary phase growth by deep-sequencing of the PCR-amplified bar-code region. Our preliminary studies showed that mutator deletion mutants rapidly accumulated during stationary phase. Accordingly, we conducted our long-term stationary phase growth studies in complex, glucose minimal, and glycerol minimal media inoculated with seed cultures without mutator mutants. Our results are discussed. Also, I will show the current progresses about the genetic interaction of E. coli by double knockout method.
