Project description:Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the acetic acid bacterium Glucnobacter thailandicus strain NBRC 3255. The draft genome sequence is composed of 109 contigs in 3,305,227 bp and contains 3,225 protein-coding genes. Two paralogous sets of sldAB operons, which are responsible for dihydroxyacetone production from glycerol, were identified.
Project description:Gene expression in the obligatory aerobic acetic acid bacterium Gluconobacter oxydans was shown to respond to oxygen limitation, but the regulators involved are unknown. In this study, we analyzed the function of a transcriptional regulator named GoxR, which belongs to the FNR family. Here, we aplied RNAseq to identify target genes of GoxR by comparing genes expression of a delta-goxR and its parental strain after 20 min of oxygen limitation.
