Transcriptomic comparison of Listeria monocytogenes and its derivative mutant strain with inactivated lmo0946 gene in exponential phase of growth
To gain comprehensive knowledge on role of Lmo0946 in physiology of L. monocytogenes, we set on analyzing whole-transcriptome changes induced by inactivation of lmo0946 gene. Remarkably, we identified for the first time a global effect of lmo0946 inactivation on transcriptome of L. monocytogenes with highly induced genes belonging to SOS regulon in absence of any environmental stress.
