Project description:mRNA levels were measured in Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 at 20% O2 and 0.5% O2, Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 App11 (AppA-null), Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 (pPNs) and PpsR mutant PPS2-4. The mRNA samples were prepared from cultures supplied with 20% O2, 1% CO2, and 79% N2, and grown in the dark to an OD of 0.18. The mRNA levels for each strain was measured three times. Keywords: repeat sample
Project description:Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis in Rhodobacter capsulatus and Application to Comparative Expression Analysis of Rhodobacter sphaeroides
Project description:To gain a better understanding of the transcription factors that regulate central carbon metabolism in Rhodobacter sphaeroides global gene expression analysis was used to determine genes under the regulatory influence of 2 transcription factors: CcmR (RSP_1663) and AkgR (RSP_0981) both predicted to be involved in the regulation of central carbon and energy metabolism. Microarray analysis conducted for deletion strains of 2 transcription factors known or predicted to be involved in the regulation of central carbon metabolism in Rhodobacter sphaeroides using the R. sphaeroides Affymetrix gene chip. These deletion mutant expression profiles were compared to that of wild type cells to determine differentially expressed genes regulated by these transcription factors.
