A metabolic pathway for competitive saprophytic metabolism of chitin by terrestrial bacteria. RNA sequencing data

This dataset investigates differences in gene expression in Streptomyces venezuelae grown on 20?mL minimal glucose medium and 20 mL minimal chitin medium, both supplemented with (NH4)2(SO4) for 24 hours. These data show that while Streptomyces venezuelae can grow using insoluble citin for their primary carbon and nitrogen source, they display a substantially different transcriptomic profile when growing on chitin.
