Phenotype MicroArrays for Microbial Cells

 

Phenotype MicroArrays (PMs) represent the third major technology, alongside DNA Microarrays and Proteomic Technologies, that is needed in the 

genomic era of research and drug development. Just as DNA Microarrays and Proteomic Technologies have made it possible to assay the level of 

thousands of genes or proteins all at once, Phenotype MicroArrays make it possible to quantitatively measure thousands of cellular phenotypes 

all at once.

 

Phenotype MicroArray technology enables researchers to evaluate nearly 2000 phenotypes of a microbial cell in a single experiment. 

Through comprehensive and precise quantitation of phenotypes, researchers are able to obtain an unbiased perspective of the effect on cells of 

genetic differences, environmental change, and exposure to drugs and chemicals. You can:

•  Correlate genotypes with phenotypes 

•  Determine a cell’s metabolic and chemical sensitivity properties 

•  Discover new targets for antimicrobial compounds 

•  Optimize cell lines and culture conditions in bioprocess development 

•  Characterize cell phenotypes for taxonomic or epidemiological studies

 


Phenotype MicroArrays are preconfigured 96 well plates containing different classes of 

chemical compounds designed to test for the presence or absence of specific cellular 

phenotypes. There are 10 panels designed to interrogate metabolic pathways 

along with ionic, osmotic and pH effects, and 10 panels to assess the sensitivity to 

various antimicrobials with different mechanisms of action.

HOW PHENOTYPE MICROARRAY TECHNOLOGY WORKS


DNA Microarrays and Proteomic Technologies allow scientists to detect genes or proteins that are coregulated and whose patterns of change correlate 

with something important such as a disease state. However there is no assurance that these changes are really significant to the cell. 

Phenotype MicroArrays are a complementary technology providing the needed information at the cellular level.

Phenotype MicroArrays are preconfigured sets of phenotypic tests deployed on microplate panels. Each well of the array is designed to test a different 

phenotype after inoculation with a standardized cell suspension, allowing simultaneous testing of thousands of phenotypes in a single experiment.


Phenotype MicroArrays use Biolog’s patented redox technology, with cell respiration (NADH production) as a universal reporter. 

If the phenotype is strongly “positive” in a well, the cells respire actively, reducing a tetrazolium dye and forming a strong color. 

If it is weakly positive or negative, respiration is slowed or stopped, and the result is less color or no color.


The redox assay provides for both amplification and precise quantitation of phenotypes. Incubation and recording of phenotypic data is performed 

automatically by the OmniLog instrument.


To compare the phenotypes of two cell lines, one is recorded as a red tracing and one as a green tracing. These graphs can then be overlaid by the 

bioinformatic software to detect differences. Areas of overlap are colored yellow, whereas differences are highlighted as patches of red or green.

KINETIC DATA CAPTURE AND ANALYSIS


OmniLog PM software contains a suite of algorithms that work in conjunction with the OmniLog PM system and Phenotype MicroArray panels to 

automate incubation of up to fifty microplates at a fixed user-controlled temperature with complete collection of colorimetric assay data over time. 
These programs allow for display of kinetic data from PM panels recorded by the OmniLog PM system, manage and analyze the data, 

export it in a variety of raw and processed forms, and generate reports.
