Diferencijalna ekspresija gena i evolucijska obilježja morfotipova bakterije Borrelia burgdorferi

Abstract

In laboratory conditions, Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease, exists as a spirochete, round body, bleb, or biofilm culture. This doctoral thesis suggests that spirochete to round body transition relies on the delicate regulation of a relatively small number of evolutionary conserved genes. In contrast, spirochete to bleb and biofilm transition includes significant reshaping of transcription profiles towards evolutionary young genes.Borrelia burgdorferi u laboratorijskim uvjetima može poprimiti oblik spiroheta, okruglih tjelešaca, mjehurastih formi ili biofilma. Rezultati proizašli iz ovog istraživanja upućuju na to da je tranzicija iz spiroheta u okrugla tjelešca regulirana malim brojem evolucijski konzerviranih gena, dok je prijelaz iz spiroheta u mjehuraste forme ili biofilm popraćen velikim ekspresijskim promjenama koje uključuju pojačanu ekspresiju evolucijski mlađih gena
