Project description:Paenibacillus polymyxa is a root-associated plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium. It was reported that many strains of P. polymyxa naturally exhibited the phenotypic variation. In the phase variation, the characteristics of the wild-type ‘B’ and the variant ‘F’ are very different in sporulation formation, motility, antibiotic ability and so on. For better understanding of the actual physiological changes, we performed RNA-seq analyses of P. polymyxa E681 to compare genome wide patterns of gene expression. As a result, we obtained 1,062 differentially expressed genes related to flagellar assembly and transport systems.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of the bacteria Paenibacillus vortex comparing control untreated cells with kanamycin treated cells after 18 hours of exposure. Goal was to determine the effect of the antibiotic kanamycin in concentration which affect the colony morphology on global bacteria gene expression.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of the bacteria Paenibacillus vortex comparing control untreated cells with kanamycin treated cells after 18 hours of exposure. Goal was to determine the effect of the antibiotic kanamycin in concentration which affect the colony morphology on global bacteria gene expression. Two-condition experiment, control cells vs. kanamycin treated cells. Biological replicates: 2 control replicates, 2 treated replicates. Pooling of 5 technical replicates for each biological replicate.
Project description:Background- The plant growth promoting rhizobacterium Paenibacillus riograndensis SBR5 is a promising candidate to serve as crop inoculant. Despite its potential regarding environmental and economic benefits, the species P. riograndensis is poorly characterized. Here, we performed for the first time a detailed transcriptome analysis of P. riograndensis SBR5 using RNAseq technology. Results- Sequence analysis of the library enriched in 5’-ends of the primary transcripts was used to identify 1,082 TSS belonging to novel transcripts and allowed us to determine a promoter consensus sequence and regulatory sequences in 5’ untranslated regions including riboswitches Conclusions- Our RNAseq analysis provides insight into the P. riograndensis SBR5 transcriptome at the systems level and will be a valuable basis for differential RNAseq analysis of this bacterium.
