Abstract
Akashiwo sanguinea is closely linked to the healthy growth of Labrenzia sp. PO1. Herein, PO1 and SY1 strains of Labrenzia sp. were isolated from A.sanguinea to investigate their growth. A total of 6067 genes in the Labrenzia sp SY1 and 6067 genes in Labrenzia sp PO1 were identified by RNA sequencing. Totally, 2402 genes out of 6067 were found as differentially expressed genes (DEGs). PO1 strain, 595 with decreased transcript abundance, and 1807 increase transcript abundance. Total 2320 DEGs, 766 with decreased transcript abundance, and 1554 increase transcript abundance were found in the SY1 strain. Transcriptome analysis divulged that DEGs were enriched with regulating metabolic processes, biological processes, and binding activities and may play critical roles in Labrenzia sp. PO1 growth. The ABC transporter pathway was also enriched in PO1 with 23 genes encoding ABC transporters with increased transcript abundance only in this strain. ABC transporter transcript levels and Labrenzia sp. PO1 growth was highest at 32 h, indicating that transporter-encoding genes may be involved in PO1 growth through nutrient transport. Moreover, their low expression in SY1 may be related to its slower growth. This study of Labrenzia sp. PO1 and SY1 transcriptomes may be used as a foundation for future research on the biofilm formation phenomenon of Labrenzia sp. PO1, as the formation was observed only in PO1.
