RNAseq data for Nitrogenase regulation in Vibrio natriegens differs from other γ-proteobacteria

However, the interactions and relative influence of these regulators can vary between species. Thus, one cannot make assumptions about nitrogenase regulation when working with uncharacterized diazotrophs like Vibrio natriegens, a γ-proteobacterium of growing interest for synthetic biology.

Here, we characterized the roles of several annotated V. natriegens nitrogenase regulatory proteins in response to NH4+ versus N2. This data set describes global transcript levels for a parent strain ntrBC and nifA deletion mutants in non-growing cell suspensions where nitrogenase is expressed.
