Project description:Sulfurospirillum multivorans is one of the few bacteria, which can anaerobically respire organohalides such as tetrachloroethene. The regulation of this organohalide respiration is in most parts unknown. Sulfurospirillum multivorans was shown to downregulate the expression of organohalide respiration-specific genes slowly when no substrate is present, over the time of approximately 100 generations. To unravel the molecular details of this peculiar regulation and the involved factors, we sequenced the primary transcriptome of the organism.
