Project description:Gene expression analysis of four different treatments of Aspergillus nidulans. reference line (A.nidulans), line A (A.nidulans + Streptomyces rapamycinicus), line B (A.nidulans + orsellinic acid), line C (A.nidulans + lecanoric acid)
Project description:Streptomyces rapamycinicus strain NRRL 5491 produces the important drug rapamycin. It has a large genome of 12.7 Mb, of which over 3 Mb consists of 48 secondary metabolite biosynthesis clusters.
Project description:Gene expression analysis of four different treatments of Aspergillus nidulans. reference line (A.nidulans), line A (A.nidulans + Streptomyces rapamycinicus), line B (A.nidulans + orsellinic acid), line C (A.nidulans + lecanoric acid) For each of these treatments 2 biological replicates were made.
Project description:Aspergillus nidulans competes in its natural environment with other microorganisms. It has been known that the bacterium Streptomyces rapamycinicus induces the production of Orsellinic acid in A. nidulans and we found that the major trigger of this induction is Polaramycin B produced by S. rapamycinicus. Here we show the transcriptome of A. nidulans following treatment with 0.5µg/ml Polaramycin B after 30 minutes and 3 hours.
