Transcriptome analysis of Novosphingobium sp. THN1 during microcystin-LR degradation under different carbon concentrations

The bacterium Novosphingobium sp. THN1 (THN1) is capable of degrading microcystin-LR (MCLR). To get an insight into genes expression during MCLR degradation and the regulation of different carbon concentrations on MCLR degradation, we performed RNA-seq of THN1 during MCLR degradation under different carbon concentrations. Transcriptomes of THN1 at 2h and 0h of MCLR degradation under R2A and 40%C_R2A medium were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina Hiseq.
