Characterization of the genes that were regulated by feeding Lactococcus Lactis.
In the present study, we investigated the effects of feeding Lactococcus lactis using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model animal. The survial of the adult C. elegans fed L. lactis was significantly better than that of unfed animals (control) upon infection with pathogens. Overall design: Transcriptional profiling of three-day-old worms that were fed L. lactis L1, L2 or E. coli OP50 (control) for one day, by deep sequencing, using Illumina HiSeq.
