Project description:Alkaline hemicellulytic bacteria Bacillus sp. N16-5 has abroad substrate spectrum and exhibits great growth ability on complex carbohydrates. In order to get insight into its carbohydrate utilization mechanism, global transcriptional profiles were separately determined for growth on glucose, fructose, mannose, galactose, arabinose, xylose, galactomannan, xylan, pectin and carboxymethyl cellulose by using one-color microarrays.

Substrate induced gene expression was measured when culture was grown on glucose, fructose, mannose, galactose, arabinose, xylose, galactomannan, xylan and CMC to mid-logarithmic phase.
Project description:The alkaliphilic halotolerant bacterium Bacillus sp. N16-5 often faces salt stress in its natural habitats. One-color microarrays was used to investigate transcriptome expression profiles of Bacillus sp. N16-5 adaptation reactions to prolonged grown at different salinities (0%, 2%, 8% and 15% NaCl) and the initial reaction to suddenly alter salinity from 0% to 8% NaCl.
