Project description:We compared the global transcriptomic analysis of Desulfoluna spongiiphila strain AA1, an organohalide-respiring Desulfobacterota isolated from a marine sponge, with 2,6-dibromophenol or with sulfate as electron acceptor. The most significant difference of the transcriptomic analysis was the expression of one reductive dehalogenase gene cluster (rdh16), which was significantly upregulated with 2,6-dibromophenol.

Project description:Sulfurospirillum multivorans is one of the few bacteria, which can anaerobically respire organohalides such as tetrachloroethene. The regulation of this organohalide respiration is in most parts unknown. Sulfurospirillum multivorans was shown to downregulate the expression of organohalide respiration-specific genes slowly when no substrate is present, over the time of approximately 100 generations. To unravel the molecular details of this peculiar regulation and the involved factors, we sequenced the primary transcriptome of the organism.
