Project description:Investigation of the expression profiling of the ethanologenic Zymomonas mobilis in response to ethanol stress. A six chip study using total RNA recovered from three separate wild-type cultures of Zymomonas mobilis ATCC31821 and three separate cultures of a triple treated with 5% ethanol. Each chip measures the expression level of 1800 genes from Zymomonas mobilis ATCC31821 and the associated plasmids, with three-fold technical redundancy.
Project description:Zymomonas mobilis is an important bioenergy organism that has potential to produce biofuels, including ethanol, in high volumes. Here we examined the response of Zymomonas mobilis to various oxidative stresses using genome-scale transcriptomics data. We first examined the transcrpit abundance in WT aerobic growth compared to aerobic grown in paraquat, which forms superoxide. Under anaerobic growth conditions we compared WT Zymomonas mobilis with strains grown in media lacking iron as well as strains lacking iron that were treated with the iron chelator DIP before collection. Finally we examined transcript abundance in cells lacking ZMO_0422 (Rrf2 family transcription factor homolog) and ZMO_1411 (Fur homolog) grown under anaerobic conditions.
Project description:we aimed to screen candidate kinase genes under the stress of phenolic aldehydes during ethanol fermentation for Zymomonas mobilis ZM4
Project description:This study is aimed for the identification of novel small RNAs under different ethanol producing conditions. We have applied transcriptome analysis to facilitate identification and validation of 15 novel sRNAs in Zymomonas mobilis. We furthermore characterize their expression in the context of high and low levels of intracellular ethanol. Here, we report that 3 of the sRNAs (Zms2, Zms4 and Zms6) are differentially expressed under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, when low and high ethanol productions are observed respectively. These data suggests that in this organism regulatory RNAs can be associated with metabolic functions involved in ethanol stress responses.

Z. mobilis was grown under aerobic and anaerobic conditions which showed low and high ethanol production, respectively. Each samples were sequenced for identification of small RNA candidates and differentially expressed candidates between two conditions.
Project description:sRNAs represent a powerful class of regulators that influence multiple mRNA targets but remain largely uncharacterized outside of model organisms. Zymomonas mobilis is a natural ethanol-producing bacterium in which multiple small RNAs (sRNAs) have recently been identified, some of which show differential expression in ethanol stress. In this study, we show that sRNAs Zms4 and Zms6 have significant impacts on ethanol tolerance in Z. mobilis. We have conducted multi-omics analyses (including transcriptomics and sRNA-immunoprecipitation) to map gene networks under the influence of their regulation.
Project description:Investigation of the expression profiling of the ethanologenic Zymomonas mobilis in response to furfural stress. A six chip study using total RNA recovered from three separate wild-type cultures of Zymomonas mobilis ATCC31821 and three separate cultures of a triple treated with 1.0 g/l furfural. Each chip measures the expression level of 1800 genes from Zymomonas mobilis ATCC31821 and the associated plasmids, with three-fold technical redundancy.
Project description:Deletion of the IscR homolog ZMO_0422 was performed in Zymomonas mobilis to investigate the role of Fe-S cluster biogenesis in Zymomonas. Here we perform genome-wide transcirptomics study to examine transcript chagnes in delta-ZMO_0422 compared to WT Zymomonas mobilis under both aerobic and anaerobic growth conditions.
