Project description:The purpose of this study was to characterize carbon metabolism and gene regulation in Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius during growth on monosaccharides in an effort to determine whether carbon catabolite repression was active. Chemostat studies and global transcriptome analysis were used to accomplish this goal.
Project description:The purpose of this study was to characterize carbon metabolism and gene regulation in Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius during growth on wheat arabinoxylan and the effect of pentose and hexose sugars on gene expression Chemostat studies and global transcriptome analysis were used to accomplish this goal.
Project description:Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius (Darland and Brock 1971) is the type species of the larger of the two genera in the bacillal family 'Alicyclobacillaceae'. A. acidocaldarius is a free-living and non-pathogenic organism, but may also be associated with food and fruit spoilage. Due to its acidophilic nature, several enzymes from this species have since long been subjected to detailed molecular and biochemical studies. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. This is the first completed genome sequence of the family 'Alicyclobacillaceae'. The 3,205,686 bp long genome (chromosome and three plasmids) with its 3,153 protein-coding and 82 RNA genes is part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project.
Project description:Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius strain Tc-4-1 was initially isolated from a hot spring in Tengchong, China. This organism is both thermophilic and acidophilic. It can produce heat- and acid-stable enzymes, such as amylase and esterase, which may be important in industry. Here we report the whole genome sequence of the strain.
Project description:Total RNAs were isolated from the thermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius MW001 and subjected to Illumina sequencing. A differential gene expression analysis was performed to identify ncRNA in biofilm- associated cells and planktonically grown cells. Additionally, the small RNA subpopulation of the transcriptome was subjected to RNaseR digestion prior to Illumina sequencing. An abundant double-stranded RNA was identified.
