RNAseq of Acetobacterium dehalogenans with Syringat & Chlormethan
The acetogenic bacterium Acetobacterium dehalogenans is known to convert methoxylated aromatics such as syringate and methyl halides such as chloromethane. We performed comparative transcriptomics to understand which genes are responsible for chloromethane conversion and how the metabolism of the organism adapts to growth on different methyl donors. The RNA seq data were obtained from A. dehalogenans cultures grown on syringate, chloromethane and both substrates at the same time.
