Metabolic rearrangements causing elevated proline and polyhydroxybutyrate accumulation during the osmotic adaptation response of Bacillus megaterium

First transcriptome analyses of Bacillus megaterium DSM319 grown under mild and severe salt stress (up to 1.8 M NaCl) to analyse the addaptation of the organism on transcriptome level Bacillus megaterium DSM319 was grown in the presence of 0 (control), 0.6, 1.2 and 1.8 M NaCl, respectively, in Minimalmedium. All cultivations were performed as four biological replicates. Control in each case was B. megaterium DSM319 grown in minimal medium without additional NaCl.
