Project description:Novosphingobium resinovorum strain SA1 is one of few strains capable of degrading sulfanilic acid which is a widely used representative of sulfonated aromatic compounds. In order to identify the elements involved in the biodegradation process and to understand the metabolic responces of the cells exposed to this aromatic compound, we performed a whole transcriptome analysis of cells grown on sulfanilic acid and glucose. Additionally, for distinguish the potential stress/starvation effects of the xenobiotic we compared the transcript profiles of samples taken from both the exponential and stationary growth phases.
