RNAseq analysis of Cellvibrio japonicus during starch utilization differentiates between genes encoding carbohydrate active enzymes controlled by substrate detection or growth rate.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Understanding the bacterial metabolism of starch is important as this polysaccharide is a ubiquitous ingredient in foods, supplements, and medicines, all of which influence gut microbiome composition and health. Our RNAseq and growth data set provides a valuable resource to those who want to better understand the regulation of starch utilization in Gram-negative bacteria. These data are also useful as they provide an example of how to approach studying a starch-utilizing bacterium that has many putative amylases by coupling transcriptomic data with growth assays to overcome the potential challenges of functional redundancy. The RNAseq data can also be used as a part of larger meta-analyses to compare how C. japonicus regulates carbohydrate active enzymes, or how t
