Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in a Gluconacetobacter xylinus NBRC 3288 delta-fnrG mutant, compared to the wild-type strain.
Project description:Investigation of transcriptomic changes in M.luteus at 12hrs and 24hrs. Differences in fatty acid profiles of M. luteus at exponential and stationary phase is attributed to transcriptional changes of branched amino acid biosynthesis and degradation genes. This study is described by Pereira, J.H., E.B. Goh, J.D. Keasling, H.R. Beller and P.A. Adams in Crystal structure of FabH and factors affecting the distribution of branched fatty acids in Micrococcus luteus, which has been submitted to Acta Crystallographica Section D A 6 microarray study using total RNA recovered from six separate control cultures of Micrococcus luteus NCTC2665 strain with 3 harvested after 12hrs of growth and the other 3 after 24hrs of growth. Each chip measures the expression level of 2,374 ORF based on the draft genome sequence of Micrococcus luteus with ten 60-mer probe pairs (PM/MM) per gene, with 3-fold technical redundancy.
Project description:Purpose:The goals of this study are to clarify the B. subtilis NBRC 16449 response to soybeans. Methods: B. subtilis NBRC 16449 cells were aerobically cultured in liquid LB, LB solidified with agar, or on surface of boiled soybeans to logarithmic growth phase. Total RNAs were extracted from bacterial cells by Hot-Phenol method. Samples for RNA-seq were prepared according to Illmina protocol available from the manufacture. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with bowtie v0.11.2. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped around 15 million sequence reads per sample to the whole genome of B. subtilis BEST195 and identified 4271 transcripts in B. subtilis NBRC 16449 with Bowtie aligner. Read count per genome was extracted from known gene annotations with HTSeq program. Compared the transcriptomes of B. subtilis NBRC 16449 grown on LB solidified with agar to that grown on surface of boiled soybeans, about 5% of genes showed the different expression levels.
