Project description:Purpose: To compare RNASeq data of Frankia inefficax EuI1c in normal growth conditions to biphenyl-stressed Frankia inefficax EuI1c. Frankia cultures were grown for 3 days under one of three conditions before harvesting: 1.) 1 mM biphenyl stress with glucose as an alternative carbon and energy source, 2.) 1mM biphenyl with no alternative carbon or energy source, or 3.) media with glucose as a carbon and energy source (Control). RNA-seq analysis provided insight into how the the bacteria responds to biphenyl stress and exhibits biphenyl tolerance.
