Metatranscriptome of a tripartite lignocellulolytic microbial consortium cultivated under two shaking conditions

In a previous study, shaking speed was found to be an important factor affecting the population dynamics and lignocellulose degrading activity of a synthetic lignocellulolytic microbial consortium composed of Sphingobacterium paramultivorum w15, Citrobacter freundii so4, and the fungus Coniochaeta sp. 2T2.1. Here, the gene expression profiles of each strain in this consortium were examined after growth at two shaking speeds (180 and 60 rpm) at three time points (24 hours, 5 and 13 days).
