Characterization of Hsp17, a Novel Small Heat Shock Protein, in Sphingomonas melonis TY under Heat Stress.

ABSTRACT: Bacteria are constantly exposed to a variety of environmental stresses. Temperature is considered one of the most important environmental factors affecting microbial growth and survival. As ubiquitous environmental microorganisms, Sphingomonas species play essential roles in the biodegradation of organic contaminants, plant protection, and environmental remediation. Understanding the mechanism by which they respond to heat shock will help further improve cell resistance by applying synthetic biological strategies. Here, we assessed the transcriptomic and proteomic responses of Sphingomonas melonis TY to heat shock and found that stressful conditions caused significant changes in functional genes related to protein synthesis at the transcriptional level. The most notable changes obse
