Transcriptome Analysis of Ice Plant Growth-Promoting Endophytic Bacterium Halomonas sp. Strain MC1 to Identify the Genes Involved in Salt Tolerance.

ABSTRACT: Salt stress is an important adverse condition encountered during plant and microbe growth in terrestrial soil ecosystems. Currently, how ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum) growth-promoting endophytic bacteria (EB) cope with salt stress and regulate growth and the genes responsible for salt tolerance remain unknown. We applied RNA-Seq technology to determine the growth mechanism of the EB Halomonas sp. MC1 strain and the genes involved in salt tolerance. A total of 893 genes were significantly regulated after salt treatment. These genes included 401 upregulated and 492 downregulated genes. Gene Ontology enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis revealed that the most enriched genes included those related to the outer membrane-bounded periplasmic sp
