Project description:In this paper, we present the first comparative transcriptome profiles with ARR treated and control of R. palustris. Moreover, putative two ARR biotransformation mechanisms in R. palustris were first given. All of these provided a valuable genomic resource for further studying molecular mechanism of biotransformation and genetic modification of R. palustris.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Rhodopseudomonas palustris (R. palustris) comparing cbbT1 over-expressing strain with cbbT2 over-expressing strain. Goal was to discriminate the molecular mechanisms between transketolase I (cbbT1) and transketolase II (cbbT2). R.palustris is a purple non-sulfur anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium and transketolase (cbbT1 and cbbT2) is a key enzyme involved in the CBB cycle. Here, we investogated the functions of transketolase isoforms I (cbbT1) and II (cbbT2) in R. palustris through transcriptional profiling and other functional assays.
