RNA-seq system comparison of Streptomyces lividans TK24 cultivated under micro-scale biolector and reference bioreactor conditions
S. lividans TK24 grown in MTP BioLector (BL)  a 48 well FlowerPlates (m2p-labs GmbH, Baesweiler, Germany), covered by a gas-permeable sealing foil (m2p-labs GmbH, Baesweiler, Germany) in modified minimal medium NMMP (D'Huys et al. 2011) was applied, containing 2.07 g/L NaH2PO4 x 1 H2O, 2.6 g/L K2HPO4, 0.6 MgSO4 x 7 H2O, 3.0 g/L (NH4)2SO4, 10 g/L D-glucose and 5 g/L BactoTM Casamino acids as well as several trace elements (1 mg/L ZnSO4 x 7 H2O, 1 mg/L FeSO4 x 7 H2O, 1 mg/L MnCl2 x 4 H2O, 1 mg/L CaCl2), harvested in late growth phase. Temperature and humidity was controlled in the incubation chamber of the BL device at 30 °C and 89 % respectively. Briefly, S. lividans TK24 cells were harvested at late growth phase. Total RNA was isolated from two biological replicates using RNeasy Mini Kit along with a DNase Kit (both from Qiagen). Initially RNA quality was checked by Trinean Xpose (Gentbrugge,Belgium) and Agilent RNA Nano 6000 kit on Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Böblingen, Germany). Samples contaminated with DNA were treated with DNase (Qiagen), cleaned as described above and rechecked by Xpose and Agilent Bioanalyzer.  Ribo-Zero rRNA Removal Kit (Bacteria) from Illumina (San Diego, CA, USA) was used to remove the ribosomal RNA molecules from the isolated total RNA. Removal of rRNA was checked by Agilent RNA Pico 6000 kit on Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Böblingen, Germany).
