Project description:Gene Expression Analysis of Curdlan Production in Agrobacterium sp. ATCC 31749 Two conditions are compared with four biological replicates of each condition, corresponding to eight total samples. The control condition was sampled at 22 hours during the exponential growth phase when no curdlan is produced. The second condition was sampled at 70 hours after the initiation of curdlan production, corresponding to approximately 100 hours.
Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is compare the effect of phbC gene in curdlan synthesis in Agrobacterium sp. CGMCC 11546. methods: The transcriptional and metabolomics analysis the function of phbC in Agrobacterium sp. CGMCC 11546. Results:The transcriptional and metabolomics showed that the decrease of curdlan production in the ΔphbC mutants may be caused by the insufficient supply of energy ATP conclusion:phbC play an important role in curdlan synthesis in Agrobacterium sp. CGMCC 11546
Project description:Purpose:first,we want to find the genes revelant to curdlan synthesis and oxygen regulation, second, we want to research the function of fnrN gene in Agrobacterium sp. ATCC 31749. Method: samples of cell growth phase, curdlan-producing phase (normoxia) and curdlan-producing phase (micro-oxygen treated) in both Agrobacterium sp. ATCC 31749 wild strain and ΔfnrN strain were collectecd to extract mRNA. Each sample was treated in duplicate. The softwares we used include fastqc, trimmomatic, TopHat2 and Cufflinks. Illumina Hiseq4000 was used to complete the research.
Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is compare the effect of glnA gene in curdlan synthesis in Agrobacterium sp. CGMCC 11546. methods: The transcriptional and metabolomics analysis the function of glnA in Agrobacterium sp. CGMCC 11546. Results: The transcriptional and metabolomics showed that the decrease of curdlan production in the ΔglnA mutants may be caused by the insufficient supply of energy ATP conclusion: glnA play an important role in curdlan synthesis in Agrobacterium sp. CGMCC 11546
Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is compare the effect of MetH and MetZ gene in curdlan synthesis in Agrobacterium sp. CGMCC 11546. methods: The transcriptional and metabolomics analysis the function of metH and metZ in Agrobacterium sp. CGMCC 11546. Results: The transcriptional and metabolomics showed that the decrease of curdlan production in the ΔmetH and ΔmetZ mutants may be caused by the insufficient supply of energy ATP conclusion: MetH and MetZ play an important role in curdlan synthesis in Agrobacterium sp. CGMCC 11546
Project description:We report the analysis of differentially gene expression after 7 hours and 24 hours fermentation of curdlan in Agrobacterium sp. CGMCC 11546.
Project description:Welan gum is mainly produced by Sphingomonas sp. ATCC 31555 and has broad applications in industry such as that in cement production. Both carbon and nitrogen sources are essential for welan production. However, how nitrogen sources affect the metabolism and gene transcription of welan remains elusive. Here, we used next-generation sequencing RNA-seq to analyze the transcriptome of Sphingomonas sp. ATCC 31555 in the presence of inorganic or organic nitrogen sources. Enriched gene expression and pathway analysis suggest that organic nitrogen sources significantly enhanced the expression of genes in central metabolic pathways of Sphingomonas sp. ATCC 31555 and those critical for welan synthesis compared to that observed using inorganic nitrogen sources. The present study improves our understanding of the molecular mechanism underlying the use of nitrogen in welan synthesis in Sphingomonas sp., as well as provides an important transcriptome resource for Sphingomonas sp. in relation to nitrogen sources.

Sphingomonas sp. ATCC 31555 strain (stored in our laboratory) was first seeded in an inoculum medium (20 g/L glucose, 3 g/L yeast extract, 3 g/L malt extract, and 5 g/L fish meal protein peptone, pH 7.0), and then cultured in a fermentation medium containing 40 g/L sucrose, 4.0 g/L nitrogen source, 0.6 g/L KH2PO4, and 0.2 g/L MgSO4.7H2O at 37°C. The nitrogen sources used in the present study were as follows: NaNO3 (4.0 g/L) as inorganic nitrogen (IN), beef extract (4.0 g/L) as organic nitrogen (ON), and NaNO3 (1.5 g/L) + beef extract (2.5 g/L) as complex nitrogen (CN). All cultivations were conducted in flasks with constant rotary shaking at 400â??1,000 rpm and 37°C.
Project description:Agrobacterium sp. ATCC 31749 is an industrial strain for the commercial production of curdlan, an important exopolysaccharide with food and medical applications. Here we report the genome sequence of the curdlan-producing strain ATCC 31749. Genome sequencing is the first step toward the understanding of regulation of curdlan biosynthesis.
