For illustrative purposes, the 30 most significantly up- or down-regulated genes are shown in Table 2. Among the most upregulated genes with a known function, we found BCG3184c ( Rv3160c, probable TetR-family transcriptional regulator), sigE, fadE23 (fatty-acid-CoA ligase, involved in sulfolipid production) 10, hupB (DNA binding protein), BCG3929 ( Rv3866, espG), ppsC (involved in PDIM synthesis), BCG1191 ( Rv1130, prpD, 2-methylcitrate dehydratase), and BCG1826 ( Rv1794, part of the ESX-5 secretion system) 11. Of note, 9 out of the 30 most downregulated genes in the transition from planktonic cells to intercellular aggregation were members of the DosR regulon (Dormancy Survival Regulon). The DosR-regulon is composed of 48 genes that respond to in vitro microaerophilic or hypoxic conditions as well as exposure to nitric oxide or replication within macrophages 12, 13. Genes BCG0115 ( Rv0082), BCG0112 ( Rv0079), BCG0114 ( Rv0081), BCG0113 ( Rv0080), BCG3157c ( Rv3134c), TB31.7 ( Rv2623), hspX ( Rv2031c), BCG2049c ( Rv2030c), and BCG3154 ( Rv3131) were downregulated when BCG changed from planktonic cells to the intercellular aggregation step. The increased genomic variants in bacteria from the last culture in the Sauton broth and Middlebrook 7H9 media compared to the first and the middle cultures may indicate the role of the increased number of passages. While InDels were also higher in the CSPL in comparison to the CSPF and CSPM, SNPs were detected more in the CSPM than CSPL. This findings might be related to the sequencing errors in the PE genes. Moreover, the CSBL showed the highest number of variants compared to the reference strain and the number of passages on Sauton broth was more than the other two media (34 passages); therefore, the increased variants may be ralated to the increased passages. In contrary to the present study, Seki et al. investigated the effect of passages during BCG Tokyo 172 production on genetic stability using several specific genomic regions [ 42]. This study reported no differences between seed lot, 8th and 20th passages of the vaccine product, indicating genetic stability in the tested regions. This study also revealed that the Multiplex PCR is not sufficient to detect the low number of variants, SNPs and short InDels in the vaccine [ 42], and in this study we decided to use Even though OD600nm for BCG::BCG0114 suggested a marked growth defect as compared with wild type BCG harboring the empty vector (BCG::pMV361), doubling time indicated that there was indeed a significant difference between these strains, but only at day 6 of culture (BCG::pMV361, 55.17 ± 8 h vs. BCG::BCG0114, 88.65 ± 6.66 h; p = 0.0131). On the other hand, apparent growth of BCG:: ethR significantly differed from wild type BCG in days 0 (start of the culture) and day 4 (early log-phase) (Fig. 3b), although their doubling time was different only at day 5 of culture (BCG::pMV361, 35.6 ± 4.18 h vs. BCG::ethR, 43.37 ± 5.04 h; p = 0.038).

A modified Sauton medium was used to evaluate the influence of pH and divalent cation concentration on the growth of mycobacteria. The Sauton medium was chosen because it is a defined medium in which divalent cation levels can be readily manipulated. To modify the Sauton medium, the sole divalent cation source (magnesium sulfate) was omitted and was replaced by potassium sulfate (as the sulfate source). Various levels of magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, zinc chloride, or manganese chloride were then added. In addition, all media were buffered with either 100 mM MES or 100 mM MOPS ( 16) to prevent the pH from changing during the course of the experiment.

In summary, compared to wild type BCG, hsp60-driven expression of dosR and BCG0114, led to smaller colonies on agar, with changes in color and elevation, and also produced smoother surface pellicles with no quantitative effect on biofilm production. Moreover, deletion of dosR in M. tuberculosis H37Rv reduced biofilm production (Fig. 2). hsp60-driven expression of BCG0642c enhanced biofilm production with formation of metachromatic-like granules in acid-fast bacteria (Fig. 2). hsp60-driven expression of BCG3766c reduced colony size and surface pellicle rugosity, although less than dosR or BCG0114, and tended to decrease biofilm production (Fig. 2). ethR expression from hsp60 did not produce any detectable difference in the assays performed here (Fig. 2). Phenotypic changes in planktonic BCG cells derived from increased expression of dosR, BCG0114, BCG0642c, ethR, and BCG3766c

Climate change and overdevelopment threatens to disrupt the carefully balanced geophysical ecosystem at these surf spots. If the cliffs, dunes and sea bed shift significantly, the swell cannot shape into the perfect crescent waves needed to surf. By achieving this protected status, local surfers are given a more prominent voice when it comes to challenging decision makers on environmental matters affecting the coastline. This ranges from fighting sewage dumping in the ocean, safeguarding the shoreline from encroaching development, and conserving wild spaces for wildlife such as bottlenose dolphins, grey seals and basking sharks. In north Devon this will give surf spots comparable levels of protection to nearby Dartmoor and Exmoor national parks. The area’s surfing history and culture was also a key feature in the award of WSR status. Further evaluating gene expression by RT-qPCR we noticed that upregulation of BCG0114 and dosR, or downregulation of ethR and BCG0642c, which both started at the substrate attachment step, were maintained during biofilm maturation (Fig. 1a). Whereas induction of BCG3766c was only found during substrate attachment with no further change during biofilm maturation (Fig. 1a).
