Transcriptome data set of <i>Cellvibrio japonicus</i> grown using β-glucan media

<i>Cellvibrio japonicus</i> is a gram-negative, saprophytic bacterium that is a polysaccharide utilization specialist capable of degrading diverse, complex, and recalcitrant polysaccharides. Here, we present transcriptome data sets during exponential growth and stationary phase for <i>C. japonicus</i> using barley β-glucan as the sole carbon source.
