Monitoring global differential gene expression in Corynebacterium glutamicum in response to sigma factor SigD disruption and overexpression. Monitoring global differential gene expression in Corynebacterium glutamicum in response to sigma factor SigD disruption and overexpression

In this study, disruption and overexpression of sigD were performed in Corynebacterium glutamicum and analyzed by transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) to understand the SigD regulon in C. glutamicum. For the effect of sigD overexpression, the relative abundance of mRNA was compared in WT(pVWEx1-sigD) without IPTG or with 50 μM of IPTG. For the effect of sigD disruption, the abundance was compared between the sigD disrupted mutant and the wild type strain.
