Project description:Arthrobacter chlorophenolicus A6 is a 4-chlorophenol degrading soil bacterium with high phyllosphere colonization capacity. Till now the genetic basis for the phyllosphere competency of Arthrobacter or other pollutant-degrading bacteria is uncertain. We investigated global gene expression profile of A. chlorophenolicus grown in the phyllosphere of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) compared to growth on agar surfaces.
Project description:We report the differential expression of a PAH degrading bacterium in different states of substrate induction. Separate substrate cultivation of the same batch of bacterial isolates; total RNA extraction, processing and sequencing; gene expression analysis using bioinformatics softwares and experimental validation using qRT-PCR.
