Project description:We announce here the draft genome sequence of Halomonas hydrothermalis MTCC 5445, a halophilic bacterium of the class Gammaproteobacteria. It was isolated from the sea coast of Aadri, Veraval, Gujarat, India. Its genome contains genes for polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), a biodegradable polymer that can be used as a substitute for petroleum plastics.
Project description:We have identified differentially expressed genes according to hydrostatic pressure growth conditions in Desulfovibrio hydrothermalis. The transcriptomic datasets report the molecular mechanisms which could be involved in such adaptation and give information for the piezophile sulfate-reducing bacteria research communities. The data obtained pointed out a gradual response of D. hydrothermalis to an increase of hydrostatic pressure, with a threshold above 10 MPa and the involvement of a quite limited number of genes and/or pathways involved in the adaptation to hydrostatic pressure.
Project description:Biomanufacturing remains financially uncompetitive with the lower cost but higher carbon emitting hydrocarbon based chemical industry. Novel chassis organisms may enable cost reductions with respect to traditional chassis such as E. coli and so open an economic rout to low emission biomanufacturing. Extremophile bacteria exemplify that potential. Salt tolerant halomonas species thrive in conditions inimical to other organisms. Their adoption would eliminate the cost of sterilising equipment. Novel chassis are inevitably poorly understood in comparison to established organisms. Rapid characterisation and community data sharing will facilitate organisms’ adoption for biomanufacturing. This paper describes baseline proteomics data set for Halomonas bluephagenesis TD01 under active development for biomanufactoring. The data record comprises a newly sequenced genome for the organism; evidence for expression of 1150 proteins (30% of the proteome) including baseline quantification of 1050 proteins (27% of the proteome) and a spectral library enabling re-use for targeted proteomics assays. Protein data is annotated with KEGG Orthology enabling rapid matching of quantitative data to pathways of interest to biomanufacturing.
