Project description:Bacillus methanolicus MGA3, which has a low tolerance for 5-aminovalerate. To investigate the transcriptional response of Bacillus methanolicus to 5-aminovalerate transcriptomic analysis by differential RNA-Seq in the presence and absence of 5AVA was perfromed. In detail: B. methanolicus cultures were grown in MVcM or MVcMY media containing 200 mM methanol supplemented with and without 50 mM 5AVA, respectively. Cells were harvested in the mid log phase at an OD600 of 0.6 and isolation of total RNA isolation was performed individually for each cultivation condition. Isolated RNA samples from B. methanolicus MGA3 were used in biological triplicates for the cDNA library preparation prior to sequencing. Ribo-Zero rRNA Removal Kit (Bacteria) from Illumina (San Diego, CA, USA) was used to remove the ribosomal RNA molecules from the isolated total RNA. Removal of rRNA was checked by Agilent RNA Pico 6000 kit on Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Böblingen, Germany). RNA was free of detectable rRNA. Preparation of cDNA libraries were performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions of TruSeq stranded mRNA Kit (Illumina, San Diego, USA). Subsequently, each cDNA library was sequenced on a HiSeq1500 (2 x 75nt PE rapid v2) Sequencer system (Illumina, San Diego, USA).
