Project description:Background: Pantoea ananatis LMG 2665T synthesizes and utilizes acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) for signaling. In this strain, short chain AHLs (C4 to C8) are produced by the EanI/R quorum sensing (QS) system that is involved in pathogenicity and biofilm formation. The complete set of genes regulated by the EanI/R system in P. ananatis LMG 2665T is still not fully known. In the present study, RNA-seq was used to analyze the transcriptome profiles controlled by the EanI/R system in this strain by comparing the wild type strain and its QS mutant 2665T ean∆I/R during lag and log stages. The RNA seq data was validated by RT qPCR. Results: The results showed that the EanI/R regulon in P. ananatis LMG 2665T comprised 144 genes, constituting 3.3% of the whole transcriptome under the experimental conditions in this study. The majority of genes regulated by the EanI/R system included genes for flagella assembly, bacterial chemotaxis, pyruvate metabolism, two component system, metabolic pathways, microbial metabolism and biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. Conclusions: This is the first study to identify the EanI/R QS regulon in P. ananatis LMG 2665T. Functional analysis of genes regulated the EanI/R system in LMG 2665T could help unveil genes that play a vital role in pathogenesis and survival strategies of this pathogen.
Project description:The data set comprises results from the whole cellular proteome, secreted proteins and proteins located on the bacterial surface of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis. The theroretical proteome was created from genome analysis and characterized using bioinformatical analysis.
Project description:Strains: non-producing refernece strain pXMJ19 (CR099 pXMJ19; Goldbeck et al., 2021) and Pediocin-producer pxMJ19 ped (CR099 pXMJ19 Ptac pedACDCg, Goldbeck et al., 2021) Pediocin-producing and non-producing strains of Corynebacterium glutamicum were compared in a whole genome microarray analysis setup in order to identify potential strain optimization targets
Project description:To identify genes which are differentially expressed in Corynebacterium glutamicum in the cg2460 deletion strain, we performed DNA microarray analyses of C. glutamicum Δcg2460 compared to the WT.
