The present application relates to
nucleic acid-binding chips for monitoring bioprocesses, especially for detecting
phosphate deficiency conditions. Said chips support probes for at least three of the following 47 genes: yhcR, tatCD, ctaC,
gene for a putative
acetoin reductase, spoIIGa, nasE, pstA, spoIIAA,
gene for a
hypothetical protein, yhbD, cotE,
gene for a conserved
hypothetical protein, yurl, spoVID, gene for a putative aromatic-specific
dioxygenase, yhbE, gene for a putative benzoate
transport protein, pstBB, spoIIIAH, gene for a
hypothetical protein, spoIIQ, spoIIIAG, yvmA, gene for a putative
ribonuclease, dhaS, yrbE, gene for a putative decarboxylase /
dehydratase, htpG, yfkH, spoIIAB, spoIIIAF, alsD, gdh, yfkN, pstC, yfmQ, pstBA, dhaS homolog, gene for a putative
phosphatase,
phy, cypX, alsS, phoD, pstS, phoB, yvnA, yvmC, the total number of
phosphate metabolism-specific different probes on the
nucleic acid-binding chips not exceeding 100. The present application further relates to the use of corresponding gene probes, in particular on such chips, and to corresponding methods and possible uses.
