Project description:The study is done to compare the impact of high light on the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter alkalitolerans strain JA916T when grown in high pH and neutral pH. After the analysis we found several photosynthetic and cell division transcripts to be differentially expressed. These transcripts were majorly from the bacteriochlorophyll and carotenoid biosynthesis pathway. Reaction center transcripts were also found to be highly upregulated in nhpH conditions. Similary cell division transcripts were also found to be highly upregulated in high light conditions. Further for detailed study the publication can be referred. This study is to be published in the article titled as " Integration of transcriptomics and metabolomics for understanding the global responses to neutral pH and high pH under high light in photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter alkalitolerans strain JA916T".
Project description:DNA microarray analysis was employed to investigate the transcriptome response to nitrosative stress in a non-denitrifying facultative photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1. We focused on the role played by a nitric oxide-response transcriptional regulator NnrR in the response. The transcriptome profiles of R. sphaeroides 2.4.1 and its nnrR mutant before and after exposure to nitrosating agents S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) or sodium nitroprusside (SNP) under semiaerobic conditions were analyzed.
Project description:The facultatively photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides harbors an unusual LOV (light, oxygen, voltage) domain protein, RsLOV. While showing a characteristic photocycle, the protein misses a C - terminal output domain, similar to PpSB2 in Pseudomonas putida. Oxygen tension and light quantity are the two main responsible factors controlling the expression of photosynthesis genes in Rhodobacter sphaeroides. Two photoreceptor proteins are known to be involved in this regulation: the intensively studied AppA protein and the more recently identified cryptochrome-like protein CryB. Here we show by transcriptome and physiological studies that RsLOV is also involved in the regulation of photosynthetic gene expression. Our data further hint to a connection between RsLOV and the carbon hydrate metabolism, chemotaxis, as well as to the cellular response to photooxidative stress. RsLOV does not only affect blue light dependent gene expression but also redox-dependent regulation. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of R. sphaeroides pRKPcrZ compared to control R. sphaeroides pRK4352 under low oxygen conditions. In this study we compared the transcriptome of a PcrZ over-expression strain to a control strain. PcrZ is the first small non-coding RNA, which is involved in the complex regulatory network of photosynthesis gene regulation in Rhodobacter sphaeroides. It counteracts the formation of photosynthetic complexes in a redox dependent manner.

This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE33194: R. sphaeroides ?lov vs. R. sphaeroides 2.4.1 (microarobic conditions) GSE33259: R. sphaeroides ?lov vs. R. sphaeroides 2.4.1 (blue light, semiaerobic conditions) GSE33260: R. sphaeroides ?lov vs. R. sphaeroides 2.4.1 (singlet oxygen stress, aerobic conditions)
Project description:Rhodobacter sphaeroides is the best studied photosynthetic bacterium, yet much remains unknown about its transcriptional regulatory processes on a genome-scale. We developed a work-flow for genome-scale reconstruction of transcriptional regulatory networks and applied it to sequence and gene expression data sets available for R. sphaeroides. To assess the predictive performance of our reconstructed model, we generated global transcript level and/or protein-DNA interaction data for 3 transcription factors (PpsR, RSP_0489 and RSP_3341). This dataset contains global transcript level analyses for RSP_0489 and RSP_3341 deletion strains, as well as matching wild type controls.
Project description:To address the question of how photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris differentially regulates gene expression of three nitrogenase isozymes (Mo, V, and Fe nitrogenases), we constructed Mo strain (Mo nitrogenase only strain), V strain (V nitrogenase only strain), and Fe strain (Fe nitrogenase only strain), and analyzed the whole genome transcriptome profiles of each mutant and wild-type cells grown under nitrogen-fixing conditions. Keywords: Genetic modification

Project description:The expression of genes involved in photosystem development in Rhodobacter sphaeroides is dependent upon three major regulatory networks: FnrL, the PrrBA two-component system and the AppA-PpsR pathway. A PrrA- mutant strain of R. sphaeroides is unable to develop under photosynthetic conditions, but when combined with a ppsR mutation, is able to resume growth. In an effort to better characterize the ppsR regulon and to unravel the relationship between the PrrBA and the AppA-PpsR networks, we compared transcriptome profiles from the wild type, PrrA- and PrrA-PpsR- strains under a permissive, common, growth condition: anaerobic-dark-DMSO. Here is stored the microarray data for the PrrA-PpsR- double mutant strain grown under this condition. Keywords: transcriptome profile
Project description:Membrane-containing bacterial viruses are one of the most prevalent predators in aquatic environments. We have identified and thoroughly characterized a new type of membrane-containing bacteriophage, Jorvik, which infects the freshwater mixotrophic model bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus. Here, we present raw LC-MS/MS data of partially purified virions of Jorvik propagated on R. capsulatus strain YW1.
