Gene expression during germination in the Chytridiomycete Blastocladiella emersonii

ABSTRACT: To investigate global changes in gene expression during B. emersonii germination process, we constructed cDNA microarrays containing 3,563 putative unique genes. Analyses were carried out during germination induced under various environmental conditions. Microarray data revealed that 26% of them are differentially expressed during germination in nutrient medium, in at least one of the time points investigated. Over 500 genes are up regulated during the time course of germination under these conditions, most of them being related to cell growth, including genes involved in protein biosynthesis, DNA transcription, energetic metabolism, carbohydrate and oligopeptide transport, and cell cycle control. On the other hand, several transcripts stored in the zoospores are down regulated during germ
