Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 is a soil-residing actinomycete with many favorable metabolic capabilities that make it an ideal candidate for the bioremediation of contaminated soils. Arguably the most basic requirement for life is water, yet some nonsporulating bacteria, like RHA1, can survive lengthy droughts. Here we report the first transcriptomic analysis of a gram-positive bacterium during desiccation. Filtered RHA1 cells incubated at either low relative humidity (20%), as an air-drying treatment ...[more]
