The response of Sphingopyxis granuli strain TFA to the hostile anoxic condition.

ABSTRACT: Sphingomonads comprises a group of interesting aerobic bacteria because of their ubiquity and metabolic capability of degrading many recalcitrant contaminants. The tetralin-degrader Sphingopyxis granuli strain TFA has been recently reported as able to anaerobically grow using nitrate as the alternative electron acceptor and so far is the only bacterium with this ability within the sphingomonads group. To understand how strain TFA thrives under anoxic conditions, a differential transcriptomic analysis while growing under aerobic or anoxic conditions was performed. This analysis has been validated and complemented with transcription kinetics of representative genes of different functional categories. Results show an extensive change of the expression pattern of this strain in the different c
