Transcription profiling of response of Buchnera aphidicola to depletion of essential amino acids combined with an increase in sucrose in the diet of its aphid host
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The aim of this work was to analyze the transcriptomic response of Buchnera aphidicola when the aphid host is submitted to depletion in essential amino acids (EAA). This treatment was combined with an increase in sucrose concentration to influence the bacterial growth rate. In this experiment, the dietary amino acids had an EAA:nonEAA ratio of either 1:1 (50% EAA) or 1:3 (25% EAA), giving low and high aphid demand of Buchnera-derived essential amino acids, respectively. This comparison was set in a 2 times 2 factorial design with sucrose concentration at 0.5 M and 1.0 M, supporting high and low aphid growth rates.
