Project description:ErfA is a transcription factor of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We here define the genome-wide binding sites of ErfA by DAP-seq in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 and IHMA87, Pseudomonas chlororaphis PA23, Pseudomonas protegens CHA0 and Pseudomonas putida KT2440.
Project description:The entire set of flagellar structural components and flagellar-specific transcriptional regulators, as well as much of the core chemotaxis machinery, is encoded into a >70 kbp cluster in Pseudomonas putida KT2440 genome. We have performed RNA-seq of the wild-type strain in order to identify operon boundaries and promoters location in this cluster.
Project description:KaiC is the central cog of the circadian clock in Cyanobacteria. Close homologs of this protein are widespread among bacteria not known to have a circadian physiology. The function, interaction network, and mechanism of action of these KaiC homologs are still largely unknown. Here, we focus on KaiC homologs found in environmental Pseudomonas species. We characterize experimentally the only KaiC homolog present in Pseudomonas putida KT2440 and Pseudomonas protegens CHA0. Through phenotypic assays and transcriptomics, we show that KaiC is involved in osmotic and oxidative stress resistance in P. putida and in biofilm production in both P. putida and P. protegens.

Abstract:
Genome-scale metabolic models have been appearing with
increasing frequency and have been employed in a wide range of
biotechnological applications as well as in biological studies.
With the metabolic model as a platform, engineering strategies
have become more systematic and focused, unlike the random
shotgun approach used in the past. Here we present the
genome-scale metabolic model of the versatile Gram-negative
bacterium Pseudomonas putida, which has gained widespread
interest for various biotechnological applications. With the
construction of the genome-scale metabolic model of P. putida
KT2440, PpuMBEL1071, we investigated various characteristics of
P. putida, such as its capacity for synthesizing
polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) and degrading aromatics. Although
P. putida has been characterized as a strict aerobic bacterium,
the physiological characteristics required to achieve anaerobic
survival were investigated. Through analysis of PpuMBEL1071,
extended survival of P. putida under anaerobic stress was
achieved by introducing the ackA gene from Pseudomonas
aeruginosa and Escherichia coli.

Project description:Pseudomonas putida S12 is an inherently solvent-tolerant strain and constitutes a promising platform for biotechnology applications in whole-cell biocatalysis of aromatic compounds. The genome of P. putida S12 consists of a 5.8 Mbp chromosome and a 580 kbp megaplasmid pTTS12. pTTS12 encodes several genes which enable the tolerance to various stress conditions, including the main solvent efflux pump SrpABC. Removal (curing) of megaplasmid pTTS12 and subsequent loss of solvent efflux pump SrpABC caused a significant reduction in solvent tolerance of the resulting strain. In this study, we succeeded in restoring solvent tolerance in the megaplasmid-cured P. putida S12 using adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) and molecular analysis to investigate the intrinsic solvent tolerance of P. putida S12. RNA-seq was performed to study the global transcriptomic response of the solvent-adapted plasmid-cured P. putida S12 in the presence of toluene. This analysis revealed the downregulation of ATP synthase, flagella and other RND efflux pumps, which indicates the importance of maintaining proton motive force during solvent stress.
Project description:These transcriptomic data are used in two distinct but subsequent and complementary studies:(i) the role of the mfsR gene on the expression of the mfsABC operon as well as on its own promoter, (ii) the role of the mfsR operon on the activation of the core genes of ICEclc. ICEclc-specific gene expression in Pseudomonas putida UWC1 was measured during exponential phase and the subsequent stationary phase (sole carbon and energy sources : 10mM 3-chlorobenzoate). 6 genotypes were tested: (i) wild type P. putida UWC1 ICEclc (strain nM-BM-02737) ; (ii) P. putida UWC1 ICEclc-KmR19033 (strain nM-BM-02961) ; (iii) P. putida UWC1 ICEclcM-bM-^HM-^F'mfsR (strain nM-BM-04322) ; (iv) P. putida UWC1 ICEclcM-bM-^HM-^F'orf17984 (strain nM-BM-04372) ; (v) P. putida UWC1 ICEclcM-bM-^HM-^F'tciR (strain nM-BM-04321) ; (vi) P. putida UWC1 ICEclcM-bM-^HM-^FmfsR-M-bM-^HM-^F'orf17984 (strain nM-BM-03543). For each strain, in each phase, 3 or 4 replicates were used.
