Transcriptomic Response of Escherichia coli strains ECOR53 & LRPF007 to Formaldehyde Stress
This study examines the transcriptomic response of Escherichia coli strains to formaldehyde (FA) stress using RNA sequencing. Strains were grown in rich medium (GT) and exposed to defined concentrations of FA. RNA was collected at two key time points: initial stress (early exposure phase) and recovery (after adaptation to FA). The dataset includes raw FASTQ files, read count matrices, normalized CPM values, and differential expression results. These data reveal strain-specific transcriptional programs and potential detoxification mechanisms, offering insight into how E. coli adapts to formaldehyde toxicity at the molecular level.
