Expression data from furfural-tolerant E. coli strain and wild type under furfural stress

ABSTRACT: Cellular tolerance toward furfural is a complex phenotype involved many genes, and hard to be improved by manipulating individual genes. We previously established exogenous global regulator IrrE mutants that confer Escherichia coli with significantly enhanced tolerance to furfural stress. In order to elucidate the mechanism for enhancement of furfural tolerance in the mutants and to identify new genes and pathways that can be possible targets for engineering of furfural tolerance, we carried out comparative transcriptomic with the representative strains F1-37 and WT (harboring the furfural-tolerant mutant F1-37 of IrrE and the wild type IrrE, respectively). The data from transcriptome analyses were deposited here. Cells of furfural-tolerant mutant F1-37 and wild-type strain WT were grown in LB medium supplemented with furfural, and the cells were harvested in the exponential phase. The samples for both of these two strains were prepared in triplicate with biological replicates.

Project description:Furfural is the prevalent microbial inhibitor generated during pretreatment and hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass to monomeric sugars, but the molecular response of Clostridium beijerinckii NCIMB 8052 to this compound is unknown. To discern the effect of furfural on C. beijerinckii and to gain insights into the molecular mechanisms of action and detoxification, we studied the physiological changes of furfural-stressed cultures during acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation, and profiled differentially expressed genes by genome-wide transcriptional analysis. C. beijerinckii exposed to furfural stress during the acidogenic growth phase produced 13% more ABE than the unstressed control. The growth and ABE by C. beijerinckii ceased following exposure to furfural stress during the solventogenic growth phase. By comparing gene expression of furfural-stressed cultures to that of the unstressed control, at both the acidogenic and solventogenic phases, we ascertained that furfural induces expression of several genes including those that code for heat shock proteins, redox enzymes and cofactor associated proteins, and ATP-binding cassette transporters, and represses genes belonging to the phosphotransferase system, two-component system, chemotaxis and cell motility. Based on these results, we discuss the underpinning for furfural-mediated change in ABE fermentation by the solventogenic Clostridium species. C. beijerinckii 8052 pre-culture was incubated anaerobically to attain acidogenic or solventogenic growth phase. The culture was then subdivided into two bottles. One bottle was challenged with furfural and the other bottle was left unchallenged. After 3 h growth, C. beijerinckii 8052 samples were collected, during which the original concentration of furfural in the growth medium was reduced to more than half. Total RNA was isolated, purified, converted to enriched mRNA, and dye-coupled (Alexa Fluor 555) complementary cRNA. This was followed by hybridization and microarray data analysis.
