Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression differences in a full (nine-gene) Lsr locus knockout strain compared to the wild-type strain (CZ4126/02). This Lsr mutant is unable to import the autoinducer-2 (AI-2) quorum sensing molecule nor mediate any potential LsrR-based transcriptional regulation.
Project description:To discover novel regulators that influence avermectin biosynthesis, comparative transcriptome analysis between wild-type strain ATCC31267 and avermectin overproducing strain 76-02-e were performed to reveal some differentially expressed genes.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression differences between a full (nine-gene) Lsr locus deletion and a luxS deletion strain (double knock-out) compared to a luxS isogenic mutant strain (each derived from the CZ4126/02 parent strain). Both strains are unable to produce the autoinducer-2 (AI-2) quorum sensing molecule. In addition, the Lsr mutant is unable to import AI-2 nor mediate any potential LsrR-based transcriptional regulation.
