Project description:We report the application of a high-throughput technique, RNA-seq, to study the transcriptomic response of P. putida BIRD1 in the presence of butanol with the aim to study in more detail the mechanisms involved in butanol response. Our work is the first global transcriptomic analysis done in P. putida BIRD1 in the presence of butanol.

Our work is the first global transcriptomic analysis done in P. putida BIRD1 in the presence of butanol. P. putida BIRD1 mRNA profiles in the presence of control condition (LB) and butanol (carbon source) or butanol shock.
Project description:Alginate, a major exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by P. putida, is known to create hydrated environments and alleviate the effect of water limitation. In addition to alginate, P. putida is capable of producing cellulose (bcs), putida exopolysaccharide a (pea), and putida exopolysaccharide b (peb). However, unlike alginate, not much is known about their roles under water limitation. Hence, in this study we examined the role of different EPS under water stress. To create environmentally realistic water stress conditions as observed in soil, we used Pressurized Porous Surface Model (PPSM). Our main hypothesis was that under water stress, absence of alginate would be compensated by the other EPS. To test our hypothesis, we investigated colony morphologies and whole genome transcriptomes of P. putida KT2440 WT and its mutants deficient in either alginate or all known EPS
Project description:It has been performed a genome-wide analysis of gene expression of the root-colonizing bacterium Pseudomonas putida KT2440 in the rhizosphere of corn (Zea mays var. Girona. To identify reliable rhizosphere differentially expressed genes, rhizosphere populations of P. putida bacteria cells were compared with three alternative controls: i) planktonic cells growing exponentially in rich medium (LB), ii) planktonic cells in stationary phase in LB, and iii) sessile populations established in sand microcosms, under the same conditions used to grow inoculated corn plants.
