Cultivation driven transcriptomic changes in the wild-type and mutant strains of Rhodospirillum rubrum.

ABSTRACT: Purple photosynthetic bacteria (PPB) are versatile microorganisms capable of producing various value-added chemicals, e.g., biopolymers and biofuels. They employ diverse metabolic pathways, allowing them to adapt to various growth conditions and even extreme environments. Thus, they are ideal organisms for the Next Generation Industrial Biotechnology concept of reducing the risk of contamination by using naturally robust extremophiles. Unfortunately, the potential of PPB for use in biotechnology is hampered by missing knowledge on regulations of their metabolism. Although Rhodospirillum rubrum represents a model purple bacterium studied for polyhydroxyalkanoate and hydrogen production, light/chemical energy conversion, and nitrogen fixation, little is known regarding the regulation
