Transcriptomic Response of Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b to Biological Nitrification Inhibitors (BNIs)
This project investigates the transcriptomic response of the methanotroph Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b to biological nitrification inhibitors (BNIs). Cultures were exposed to representative BNI compounds (MHPP, 1,9 decanediol, and Linoleic acid), and RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) was performed to characterize gene expression changes associated with methane oxidation. These data provide insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying BNI-mediated inhibition of methanotrophic activity.
