A comparative transcriptome profiling between a riboflavin-producing Bacillus subtilis strain RH33 and the wild-type strain B. subtilis 168 was performed, complemented with metabolite pool and nucleotide sequence analysis, to rationally identify new targets for improving riboflavin production. The pur operon (purEKBCSQLFMNHD) together with other PurR-regulated genes (glyA, guaC, pbuG, xpt-pbuX, yqhZ-folD, and pbuO) was all down-regulated in RH33, which consequently limited the supply of the ribo ...[more]
