Dual functionality of the TasA amyloid protein in Bacillus physiology and fitness on the phylloplane. Dual functionality of the TasA amyloid protein in Bacillus physiology and fitness on the phylloplane

We report the application of a high-throughput technique, RNA-seq, to study the transcriptomic response of a Bacillus subtilis mutant for the tasA gene growing in biofilm-inducing solid medium (MSgg). Overall design: B. subtilis NCIB 3610 tasA mutant and WT mRNA profiles comparing their growth in solid MSgg medium at 24 and 48 h of growth to complement the data obtained at 72 h of growth.
