Project description:Limited functional annotation of the Z. mobilis genome is a current barrier to both basic studies of Z. mobilis and its development as a synthetic-biology chassis. To gain insight, we collected sample-matched multiomics data including RNA-seq, transcription start site sequencing (TSS-seq), termination sequencing (term-seq), ribosome profiling, and label-free shotgun proteomic mass spectrometry across different growth conditions to improve annotation and assign functional sites in the Z. mobilis genome. Proteomics and ribosome profiling informed revisions of protein-coding genes, which included 44 start codon changes and 42 added proteins.
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: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.
Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is compare the effect of phbC gene in curdlan synthesis in Agrobacterium sp. CGMCC 11546. methods: The transcriptional and metabolomics analysis the function of phbC in Agrobacterium sp. CGMCC 11546. Results:The transcriptional and metabolomics showed that the decrease of curdlan production in the ΔphbC mutants may be caused by the insufficient supply of energy ATP conclusion:phbC play an important role in curdlan synthesis in Agrobacterium sp.
