Project description:Arabidopsis thaliana 4-day-old seedlings were treated with the plant growth promoting rhizobacteria Caulobacter RHG1 or the neutral bacteria Bacillus sp. At 12 and 48 hours after treatment, roots were harvested, RNA was extracted and RNA-Seq data were generated. The goal of this experiment was to detect changes at the transcript level that were specific for the plant growth promoting rhizobacteria RHG1.
Project description:Root exudates play an important role in plant-microbe interaction. The transcriptional profilings of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria Bacillus amyloliquefaciens SQR9 in response to maize root exudates under static condition, were investigated by an Illumina RNA-seq for understanding the regulatory roles of the root exudates.
Project description:Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are soil beneficial microorganisms that colonize plant roots for nutritional purposes and accordingly benefit plants by increasing plant growth or reducing disease. But it still remains unclear which mechanisms or pathways are involved in the interactions between PGPR and plants. To understand the complex plant-PGPR interactions, the changes in the transcriptome of typical PGPR standard Bacillus subtilis in responding to rice seedlings were analyzed.

But it still remains unclear which mechanisms or pathways are involved in the interactions between PGPR and plants. To understand the complex plant-PGPR interactions, the changes in the transcriptome of typical PGPR standard Bacillus subtilis in responding to rice seedlings were analyzed. We compared and anylyzed the transcriptome changes of the bacteria Bacillus subtilis OKB105 in response to rice seedings for 2 h. Total RNA was extracted and Random priming cDNA synthesis, cDNA fragmentation and terminal labeling with biotinylated GeneChip DNA labeling reagent, and hybridization to the Affymetrix GeneChip Bacillus subtilis Genome Array.
Project description:Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is an essential source of new nitrogen for terrestrial ecosystems. The abiotic factors regulating BNF have been extensively studied in various ecosystems and laboratory settings. Despite this, our understanding of the impact of neighbouring bacteria on N2 fixer activity remains limited. Here, we explored this question using a coculture of the free-living diazotroph Azotobacter vinelandii and the non-fixing plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria Bacillus subtilis. We assessed the interaction between the two bacteria under low N availability.
