Project description:The bacteria Cobetia marina is globally distributed in different oceanic ecosystems and is able to grow in a wide range of temperatures from 0°C to 41°C, with an optimal growth temperature close to 35°C. Its remarkable characteristics include its ability to form biofilm, produce biosurfactants, and use petroleum-derived hydrocarbons as energy and carbon source. In this context, Cobetia marina is a model for biofilm production and the production of diverse biomolecules of relevance for human and animal health, as well as for environmental protection and recovery. This dataset shows the differential expression of genes and gene regulatory circuits that explain the adaptation of Cobetia marina to different temperatures, serving as a model of evolution in response to selection pressures such as temperature changes in the marine environment. In this study, Cobetia marina was grown at 16°C, 35°C, 38°C, and 41°C to establish differential gene expression using high-throughput RNA sequencing.
