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.
