Description
We performed high-time-resolution (HTR) transcriptome analyses of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 (PA) in a continuous cultivation system during the transition from high oxygen tension to low oxygen tension (HLOT) and the reversed transition from low to high oxygen tension (LHOT). From those genes responsive to both transient conditions, we identified 85 essential oxygen-availability responsive genes (EORGs), including the expected ones (arcDABC) encoding enzymes for arginine fermentation. We then predicted a highly accurate regulatory network for the EORGs of PA by integrating information from binding motif searching, literature and inverted HTR datasets.
