Effect of supplementation of M9 0.4% glucose with root exudates of either tomato or maize on gene expression in WT Pseudomonas donghuensis P482

To investigate and compare the influence of root exudates of tomato and maize on Pseudomonas donghuensis P482, we have grown the strain up to a stationary phase in M9 0.4% glucose medium supplemented with maize exudates (Maize), tomato exudates (Tomato) or without supplementation (Control). We then performed differential gene expression analysis, identifying changes in transcriptome profiles between each treatment (Tomato, Maize) and the Control as reference conditions, and between the two treatments. Overall design: Comparative gene expression profiling analysis of RNA-seq data for P482 cells grown in an unsupplemented medium (Control) and in medium supplemented with either tomato exudates (Tomato) or maize exudates (Maize).
