Project description:RevR is a putative orphan response regulator with a high degree of similarity to YycF from Bacilus subtilis and PhoB from Clostridium kluyveri. A revR deletion mutant of C. perfringens strain 13 was generated and the transcriptome analysed using microarrays.
Project description:Previously, we performed DNA array-based transcriptomic analysis of Clostridium acetobutylicum biofilm adsorbed onto fibrous matrix in batch fermentation. Here, to further shed light on the transcriptomic modulation of maturing Clostridium acetobutylicum biofilm, we performed the DNA array-based transcriptomic analysis in repeated-batch fermentation. Significant time course changes in expression levels were observed for the genes involved in amino acid metabolism, oligopeptide ABC transporter, nitrogen fixation, and various other processes.
