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: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:Pseudomonas putida KT2440 (KT2440) has been established as an industrially relevant chassis for the production of the jet-fuel precursor isoprenol. However, the wild type KT2440 strain consumed isoprenol as sole carbon source and its growth is inhibited by isoprenol, which is an impediment to high titer, rate, yield production. In this study, we investigated genes responsible for isoprenol catabolism and the stress responses of Pseudomonas putida via RNA-seq.
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:Effect of the inactivation of locus PP4959 upon gene expression of P. putida KT2440 in the rhizosphere of corn (Zea mays var. Girona). This locus encodes the unique dual GGDEF/EAL domains response regulator in KT2440. To identify those genes with altered expression, cells were recovered from the rhizosphere six days after inoculation of gnotobiotic seedlings.
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.
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: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.
