Differential gene expression in culturable and non-culturable Salmonella typhimurium

Differential gene expression in culturable and non-culturable forms of Salmonella typhimurium was studied by the molecular display method. Six fragments of differentially expressed gene cDNA, depending on culturable or non-culturable state of the cultures, were isolated, cloned, and sequenced. Identification of corresponding S. typhimurium differentially expressed genes was carried out by comparing the sequences of cDNA fragments with the bacterial genome data base.
