Thermoanaerobacter sp. X514 in various carbon sources

The sugar metabolic mechanism on glucose, xylose, fructose and cellobiose as the sole or dual carbon source by Thermoanaerobacter sp. X514 was characterized by whole genome cDNA micorarrays. In this study, X514 cell grew in difeined medium supplement with different carbohydrates. Each sample was prepared harvested at early-, mid- and late-log phases respectively. Samples were used to acquire expression profiles of total 2322 unique genes, leading to metabolic mechanism construction.
