Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC 17978 Transcriptome Sequencing 37ºC Light/Dark

We performed RNA sequencing analysis with differential expression analysis to compare the expression of genes between A. baumannii 17978 wildtype strain grown in the light and the dark. The purpose was to determine any genes whose expression was mediated by light at 37ºC, a temperature at which the currently best studied photoreceptor for A. baumannii BlsA, is unfunctional. Compared gene expression between 3 biological samples of cells grown in illumination and cells grown in darkness at 37ºC.
