Project description:Change in gene expression for a wild-type (Nostoc punctiforme ATCC 29133) and hmpD-deletion strain (UCD 543) of Nostoc punctiforme ATCC 29133 over the time course of hormogonium development This study is further descirbed in Risser, D.D. and Meeks, J.C. 2013. Comparative transcriptomics with a motility deficient mutant leads to identification of a novel polysaccharide secretion system in Nostoc punctiforme. Molecular Microbiology
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of R. sphaeroides pRKPcrZ compared to control R. sphaeroides pRK4352 under low oxygen conditions. In this study we compared the transcriptome of a PcrZ over-expression strain to a control strain. PcrZ is the first small non-coding RNA, which is involved in the complex regulatory network of photosynthesis gene regulation in Rhodobacter sphaeroides. It counteracts the formation of photosynthetic complexes in a redox dependent manner.

Comparative transcriptomics with a motility deficient mutant leads to identification of a novel polysaccharide secretion system in Nostoc punctiforme. Molecular Microbiology Total RNA from 3 biological replicates at each time point from 0 to 24 hours after hormogonium induction was converted to cDNA, dye-labled and hybridized to nimblegen 12x135k array slides
Project description:mRNA levels were measured in Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 at 20% O2 and 0.5% O2, Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 App11 (AppA-null), Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 (pPNs) and PpsR mutant PPS2-4. The mRNA samples were prepared from cultures supplied with 20% O2, 1% CO2, and 79% N2, and grown in the dark to an OD of 0.18. The mRNA levels for each strain was measured three times. Keywords: repeat sample
