Influence of 3HP and PDO on cell metabolism at the transcriptional level in Halomonas bluephagenesis. Influence of 3HP and PDO on cell metabolism at the transcriptional level in Halomonas bluephagenesis

To investigate degradation genes in the 3HP degradation pathway, transcriptome sequencing was performed under culture conditions with and without 3HP as the carbon source. Overall, in the presence of 3HP as a sole carbon source, 384 genes were upregulated while 210 downregulated. Among them, we identified two 3HP degradation genes, GME_RS01260 encoding choline dehydrogenase (RefSeq. Accession: WP_009721523) and GME_RS01255 encoding CoA-acylating methylmalonate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase (RefSeq. Accession WP_009721522). Subsequently, transcriptome sequencing was performed under the culture condition with or without addition of PDO as a carbon source. Overall, 292 genes were upregulated while 285 downregulated with the addition of PDO. Among them, we identified an alcohol dehydrogenases AdhP (RefSeq. Accession: WP_039868491.1). Overall design: We compared the differential gene expression in H. bluephagenesis under culture conditions with and without 3HP/PDO as the carbon source.
