[Objective] To study the role of napF3 in Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis at different temperatures. [Methods] We constructed ΔnapF3 from T. tengcongensis by homologous recombination and observed the growth of ΔnapF3 at 50 ℃, 60 ℃, 75 ℃, and 80 ℃. Transcriptome sequencing was employed to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between ΔnapF3 and the wild type (WT) at 75 ℃. real-time PCR was conducted to measure the transcriptional levels of 13 genes and 3 sRNAs in WT and ΔnapF3 at 50 ℃, 60 ℃, 75 ℃, and 80 ℃. [Results] ΔnapF3 was successfully constructed, and it showcased suspended growth at 50 ℃ and 80 ℃ and slow growth at 60 ℃ and 75 ℃. A total of 899 DEGs between WT and ΔnapF3 at 75 ℃ were identified, including 363 genes with up-regulated expression and 536 genes with down-regulated expression. These DEGs were mainly involved in the biosynthesis of valine, leucine and isoleucine, ABC transporters, two-component system, fatty acid synthesis, thiamine metabolism and other pathways. The transcriptional levels of 13 genes and 3 sRNAs related to the thermophilic mechanism changed under specific temperatures. [Conclusion] napF3 plays a role in the thermophilic adaptation of T. tengcongensis.
