Project description:The conserved endoribonuclease RNase E is essential in Rhodobacter sphaeroides and acts as global regulator of the transcriptome. By comparison of an RNase E mutant (showing reduced enzyme activity) with the Rhodobacter sphaeroides wild type, both grown under three different growth conditions, we analysed the impact of RNase E on the adaption of Rhodobacter sphaeroides to different growth conditions.
Project description:The study is done to compare the impact of high light on the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter alkalitolerans strain JA916T when grown in high pH and neutral pH. After the analysis we found several photosynthetic and cell division transcripts to be differentially expressed. These transcripts were majorly from the bacteriochlorophyll and carotenoid biosynthesis pathway. Reaction center transcripts were also found to be highly upregulated in nhpH conditions. Similary cell division transcripts were also found to be highly upregulated in high light conditions. Further for detailed study the publication can be referred. This study is to be published in the article titled as " Integration of transcriptomics and metabolomics for understanding the global responses to neutral pH and high pH under high light in photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter alkalitolerans strain JA916T".
