Genome-wide gene expression to dibenzofuran in Sphingomonas wittichii RW1

ABSTRACT: Sphingomonas wittichii RW1 is a bacterium isolated for its ability to degrade the toxic polyaromatic hydrocarbon dibenzofuran (dbf) and its polychlorinated derivatives. Its genome consists of a chromosome and two plasmids, encoding for more than 5300 genes. We studied genome-wide expression of strain RW1 to dbf in three different experimental setups, including both batch cultures and chemostats, comparing in all cases to the transcriptome of cells grown on phenylalanine as carbon source. A short exposure to DBF in chemostat or in batch, provoked the up-regulation of the ECF sigma 24, catalases, peroxiredoxins, chaperones, an aquaporin, several OmpA domain-containing proteins and the down-regulation of genes involved in TCA cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, amino acid metabolism and ribosom
