Project description:Enrichment culture DFE is capable of fermenting the toxic pollutant dichloromethane (DCM; CH2Cl2) into environmentally benign acetate. The dominant organism in the enrichment culture is a novel bacterium in the Peptococcaceae family, “Candidatus Formimonas warabiya” strain DCMF. This metaproteomic study analysed culture DFE during growth with four substrates – DCM, glycine betaine, choline, and methanol – all of which are primarily, if not solely, metabolised by strain DCMF.
Project description:The main objective is to improve xylose fermentation by deletion of PHO80 gene in recombinant xylose-fermenting yeast strains. Microarray analysis was performed to investigate effects of PHO80 deletion on the gene expression profile of xylose-fermenting strains.
Project description:The experiment was carried out in triplicates in untreated, etomoxir treated and etomoxir plus beta-hydroxybutyrate (3HB) treated conditions. MES83 (Glioma-derived Mesenchymal stem cells) were either untreated or treated with 40uM of etomoxir alone or in combination with 0.5mM of beta-hydroxybutyrate for 48 hrs. The cells were collected and total RNA was extracted and the library was prepared according to the manufacturer protocol.
