Project description:The NifA-RpoN complex is a master regulator of the nitrogen fixation genes in alpha-proteobacteria. Based on the complete Rhizobium etli genome sequence, we constructed the R. etli CFN42 oligonucleotide (70 mer) microarray, and utilized this tool to survey changes in gene expression in R. etli CFN42 wild type compared with NifA CFNX247 mutant strain in symbiosis with Phaseolus vulgaris. As expected, the genes associated with a NifA and RpoN binding sites were downregulated in the NifA mutant strain.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in a Bacteroides fragilis NCTC 9343 delta-ungD1 delta-ungD2 delta-PSH triple mutant, compared to the wild-type strain. The mutations engineered into this strain render it acapsular. The mutants analyzed in this study are further described in Coyne, M. J., M. Chatzidaki-Livanis, L. C. Paoletti, and L. E. Comstock. 2008. Role of glycan synthesis in colonization of the mammalian gut by the bacterial symbiont Bacteroides fragilis. PNAS 105(35):13098-13103 (PID 18723678).
Project description:The non-methane-utilizing methylotroph, Methylophilus sp. TWE2, was isolated from tap-water during the enrichment of methanotrophs with methane. The complete genome sequence of strain TWE2 showed that this bacterium may convert methanol to formaldehyde via catalysis of methanol dehydrogenase (MDH), after which formaldehyde would be assimilated to biomass through the ribulose monophosphate (RuMP) pathway or dissimilated via the tetrahydromethanopterin (H4MPT) pathway. The deficiency of glycolysis and the TCA cycle indicate that strain TWE2 may be an obligate methylotroph. This is the first complete genome sequence of the genus Methylophilus.
Project description:The complete genome sequence of the P. vivax Sal-1 strain allowed the design of a first version array representing 1 oligo/2 kb of coding sequences (http://zblab.sbs.ntu.edu.sg/vivax/index.html). Here, proof-of-principle experiments using total RNA of parasites obtained from the Sal-1 strain, from P. falciparum and from parasites obtained directly from two human patients are presented. Keywords: expression profiles
