Project description:The samples in this series were used to analyze the transcriptome of the CtrA regulon using wild type (SB1003) and ctrA mutant (SBRM1) strains of Rhodobacter capsulatus. As well, the transcriptome of growth phase regulation in R. capsulatus SB1003 between log and stationary phases was determined.
Project description:Global transcriptome analyses at growth before and after 10 min of photooxidative stress were applied to monitor stress dependent gene expression in the alpha-proteobacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus. Transcriptome profiles of pigmented cultures with high aeration were monitored before and after the onset of singlet oxygen stress.
Project description:The diazotrophic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus synthesizes a molybdenum nitrogenase and an alternative iron-only nitrogenase, enabling growth with molecular dinitrogen as sole nitrogen source. Regulation of nitrogen fixation was analyzed by proteome profiling of wild-type and mutant strains lacking the transcriptional regulators NifA, AnfA, and MopAB.
Project description:The diazotrophic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus is able to synthesize two nitrogenases, a molybdenum-dependent and an alternative Mo-free iron-only nitrogenase, enabling growth with molecular dinitrogen (N2) as sole nitrogen source. The Mo response of the wild type and a mutant lacking the high-affinity molybdate transporter, ModABC, were analyzed by proteome profiling.
Project description:Membrane-containing bacterial viruses are one of the most prevalent predators in aquatic environments. We have identified and thoroughly characterized a new type of membrane-containing bacteriophage, Jorvik, which infects the freshwater mixotrophic model bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus. Here, we present raw LC-MS/MS data of partially purified virions of Jorvik propagated on R. capsulatus strain YW1.
