Project description:The study critically evaluate the results of 16S targeted amplicon sequencing performed on the total DNA collected from healthy donors’ blood samples in the light of specific negative controls.
Project description:This study uses 16S rRNA and 16S rRNA gene to investigate variation in the active microbiome across latitudinal scales in the Atlantic Ocean.
Project description:The available energy and carbon sources for prokaryotes in the deep ocean remain still largely enigmatic. Reduced sulfur compounds, such as thiosulfate, are a potential energy source for both auto- and heterotrophic marine prokaryotes. Shipboard experiments performed in the North Atlantic using Labrador Sea Water (~2000 m depth) amended with thiosulfate led to an enhanced prokaryotic dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) fixation.
Project description:An Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) and large volume underwater pumps were used to collect microbial biomass from offshore waters of the Sargasso Sea, from surface waters and into the deep ocean. Seawater collection was performed along a transect in the western North Atlantic Ocean beginning near Bermuda and ending off the coast of Massachusetts, capturing metabolic signatures from oligotrophic, continental margin, and productive coastal ecosystems.
Project description:This dataset consists of 20 metaproteomic analyses of the Western Atlantic Ocean aboard the R/V Knorr KN210-04 DeepDOM expedition in 2013. Samples were collected by McLane pumps on GFF or GF75 filters, split, and frozen until analyses. Expedition metadata and co-sampled datasets are available at: https://www.bco-dmo.org/deployment/59057
Project description:Renibacterium salmoninarum is a Gram-positive, intracellular bacterial pathogen that causes Bacterial Kidney Disease (BKD) in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). To identify R. salmoninarum bacterin-responsive genes in Atlantic salmon, fish (n=6) were intraperitoneally injected with a high (5×107 cells/kg; High-Rs) dose of formalin-killed R. salmoninarum or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS control). Head kidney samples were collected at 24 h post-injection. Using 44K microarray analysis, transcriptome analysis was performed to identify differentially expressed probes in response to formalin-killed R. salmoninarum injection.
Project description:Bacterial isolation in infected brains in patients with Huntington's disease. Here we used next generation sequencing of 16S ribosomal RNA gene PCR amplicons (NGS 16S amplicon analysis)
