Transcriptome Sequencing of Shewanella psychrophila WP2 at Non-Optimal Temperatures

This project involved the sequencing of the transcriptome of Shewanella psychrophila WP2 when grown at the organism's optimal growth temperature (15 C), a supraoptimal growth temperature (20 C), and an environmentally relevant temperature (4 C). Samples were taken and sequenced during early log phase, late log phase, and stationary phase growth for each temperature. These transcriptomes provide a survey of the temperature-dependent changes in gene expression in Shewanella psychrophila WP2 and contribute to the broader understanding of how psychrophilic bacteria respond to changes in the environment.
