RNA-seq of Erwinia amylovora exposed to zinc oxide nanoparticles at the IC50 concentration
RNA-seq data characterizing the transcriptomic response of the plant pathogenic bacterium Erwinia amylovora to zinc oxide nanoparticle exposure. Cultures were exposed to ZnO NPs at the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50 = 105.2 mg/L) and compared against untreated controls. Total RNA was extracted, ribosomal RNA was depleted, and strand-specific libraries were sequenced on the Illumina platform. Data were generated to identify differentially expressed genes associated with nanoparticle-induced stress.
