Project description:Transcriptional profiling of hac1 deletion mutant compared to wild type (control). Wild type vs. hac1 deletion mutant of Ogataea angusta DL1 strain in exponential growth. Two biological replicates, with dye-swaps.
Project description:The methylotrophic, thermotolerant yeast Ogataea parapolymorpha (formerly Hansenula polymorpha) is an industrially relevant production host and exhibits a respiratory metabolism in the presence of oxygen. It possesses a branched respiratory chain with multiple entry points for NADH-derived electrons that differ in complexity and degree of energy conservation: proton-translocating respiratory Complex I and three putative alternative NADH dehydrogenases. To investigate the physiological importance of Complex I, wild type O. parapolymorpha and a Complex I-disrupted mutant were cultured in glucose-grown bioreactor experiments in batch, chemostat and retentostat cultivations which allowed quantitative characterization of the strains over a wide range of growth rates in the presence and absence of excess substrate.
Project description:To gain insight into the basic mechanism of Cd detoxification in the methylotrophic yeast, H. polymorpha, we analyzed temporal changes in transcriptional profiles in response to Cd exposure. We used H. polymorpha whole-genome cDNA microarrays, which contain 98% of all H. polymorpha ORFs in duplicate or triplicate. Keywords: time course, cadmium
