RNA-Seq analysis of quorum sensing-dependent genes in Burkholderia glumae BGR1

ABSTRACT: Burkholderia glumae causes rice grain rot and sheath rot by producing toxoflavin, whose expression is regulated by quorum sensing (QS). The QS systems of the bacterium rely on N-octanoyl homoserine lactone, synthesized by TofI and its cognate receptor TofR, to activate toxoflavin biosynthesis genes and an IclR-type transcriptional regulator gene, qsmR. To understand genome-wide transcriptional profiling of QS signaling, we employed RNA-Seq of the wild type Burkholderia glumae BGR1 and two QS-defective mutants, BGS2 (BGR1 tofI::Ω) and BGS9 (BGR1 qsmR::Ω), with two different types of culture conditions including 6hr liquid culture (before onset QS) and 10hr liquid culture (after onset QS). 3 samples examined: Burkholderia glumae BGR1 wild type, and two QS-defective mutants, BGS2 (BGR1 tofI::
