Project description:In this study the transcriptomes of Acinetobacter baumannii strains ATCC 17978 and 17978hm were compared. Strain 17978hm is a hns knockout derivative of strain ATCC 17978. Strain 17978hm displays a hyper-motile phenotype on semi-solid Mueller-Hinton (MH) media (0.25% agar). ATCC 17978 and 17978hm from an 37C overnight culture were transferred to the centre of the semi-solid MH plate and incubated at 37C for 8 hours. Only 17978hm cells displayed a motile phenotype and covered the complete surface of the plate. These motile 17978hm cells and the non-motile wild-type ATCC 17978 cells were harvested and RNA was isolated. The comparative transcriptome analysis was performed using the FairPlay labeling kit and a custom made Agilent MicroArray with probes designed to coding regions of the ATCC 17978 genome. The data was analyzed using Agilent GeneSpring GX9 and the significance analysis of microarray MS Excel add-on.
Project description:The acarviose metabolite acarbose is an a glucosidase inhibitor produced by Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110. It is medically important because it is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. In this work a comprehensive proteome analysis of Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110 was carried out. The associated txt and RAW files were used for two different analyses and publications. While one study focused on a comparative analysis of Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110 to elucidate differences in the proteome cultures that were grown with either maltose or glucose, the other study applied spectral counting and analyzed only the maltose-grown cultures to determine the major proteins and their location in the cell. The txt files for the comparative data are labeled as "heavy_light" and of the spectral counting data as "light". Both datasets were derived from the same RAW files.
Project description:Corynebacterium glutamicum strain ATCC 21831 is a producer of L-arginine that was created by random mutagenesis. It is resistant to the arginine structural analogue canavanine. In order to identify potential bottlenecks in the biosynthetic pathway that leads to this industrially important amino acid, relative metabolite abundances of biosynthetic intermediates were determined in comparison to the type strain ATCC 13032. An extract of U13C-labeled biomass was used as internal standard, to correct for different ionization efficiencies. Metabolites were identified using the ALLocator web platform.
Project description:Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110 (ATCC 31044) is the wild type of industrial producer strains of acarbose. Acarbose is used since the early 1990s as an inhibitor of intestinal human alpha-glucosidases in the medical treatment of type II diabetes mellitus. The small secreted protein Cgt, which consists of a single carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) 20-domain, was found to be highly expressed in Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110 in previous studies, but neither its function nor a possible role in acarbose formation was explored, yet. Due to this and its high abundance in the extracellular proteome of Actinoplanes, a functional role within the sugar metabolism or in the environmental stress protection was assumed. However, the gene deletion mutant ∆cgt, constructed by CRISPR/Cas9 technology, displayed no apparent phenotype in screening experiments testing for pH and osmolarity stress, limited carbon source starch as well as excess of seven different sugars in liquid culture and further 97 carbon sources in the Omnilog Phenotypic Microarray system of Biolog. Therefore, a protective function as a surface protein or a function within the retainment and the utilization of carbon sources could not be experimentally validated. Remarkably, enhanced production of acarbose was determined yielding into 8-16 % higher product titers when grown in maltose-containing medium. Here the whole track RNAseq data of delta cgt and the wild type of Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110 during growth phase and during transition into stationary phase are provided, when grown in maltose minimal medium.
