Project description:The bacterium Pseudomonas putida KT2440 has the ability to reduce selenite forming nanoparticles of elemental selenium. This is the transcriptome of the organism when cultured in the presence of selenite.
Project description:Gene expression patterns of the plant colonizing bacterium,Pseudomonas putida KT2440 were evaluated as a function of growth in the Arabidopsis thaliana rhizosphere. Gene expression in rhizosphere grown P. putida cells was compared to gene expression in non-rhizosphere grown cells. Keywords: Gene expression
Project description:Transcriptome profiling of Pseudomonas putida KT2440 comparing cells exposed for 1 hour to DIMBOA from maize (Zea mays) to unexposed cells
Project description:KaiC is the central cog of the circadian clock in Cyanobacteria. Close homologs of this protein are widespread among bacteria not known to have a circadian physiology. The function, interaction network, and mechanism of action of these KaiC homologs are still largely unknown. Here, we focus on KaiC homologs found in environmental Pseudomonas species. We characterize experimentally the only KaiC homolog present in Pseudomonas putida KT2440 and Pseudomonas protegens CHA0. Through phenotypic assays and transcriptomics, we show that KaiC is involved in osmotic and oxidative stress resistance in P. putida and in biofilm production in both P. putida and P. protegens.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of P. putida KT2440 cells comparing control untreated cells with 1 mM indole treated cells Two-condition experiment, Control vs. treatment. Biological replicates: 2 control, 2 treated, independently grown and harvested
Project description:Genome-wide scanning of gene expression by microarray techniques was successfully performed on RNA extracted from a sterilized soil inoculated with Pseudomonas putida KT2440/pSL1, which contains a chloroaromatic degrading plasmid, in the presence or absence of 3-chlorobenzoic acid (3CB). The genes showing significant changes in their expression in both triplicate microarray analyses using amplified RNA and single microarray analysis using unamplified RNA were investigated. Pathway analysis revealed that the benzoate degradation pathway underwent the most significant changes following treatment with 3CB. Analysis based on categorization of differentially expressed genes against 3CB revealed new findings about the cellular responses of the bacteria to 3CB, including upregulation of the genes specifically involved in transport of 3CB, and induction of a K+/H+ antiporter complex, an universal stress protein, two cytochrome P450 proteins and an efflux transporter. Downregulated expression of some genes involved in carbon metabolism and the genes belong to a prophage in the presence of 3CB was observed. This study demonstrated the applicability of the method of soil RNA extraction for microarray analysis through a proof-of-concept experiment using a sterilized soil inoculated with Pseudomonas putida KT2440/pSL1. A study using total RNA extracted from soil cultures of Pseudomonas putida KT2440/pSL1. Each chip measures the expression level of 5,341 genes from the Pseudomonas putida KT2440 genome with two sets of six 60-mer probes per gene.
Project description:We analyzed gene expression during conjugative transfer of plasmid RP4. Pairs of rifampicin-susceptible (RifS) and -resistance (RifR) strains of Pseudomonas putida KT2440 were conjugated for 10 minute on filter membrane in the presence of rifampicin to discriminate the expression changes in the donor and recipient cells.
