Project description:The study identified a total of 3169 gene transcripts (98.4% coverage). By comparing the anaerobic versus aerobic H2-oxidizing At. ferrooxidans cultures, a total of 371 DEGs were found. Of these, 168 DEGs were increased significantly during the aerobic growth on H2 (with O2 as the sole electron acceptor), while 203 DEGs increased significantly during anaerobic growth on H2 (with Fe3+ as the sole electron acceptor).
Project description:Transcriptomic study of A. ferrooxidans was explored either during aerobic growth with sulfur as an electron source and oxygen as final electron acceptor or in anaerobic conditions with ferric iron as the final electron receptor. Differential RNA levels were related to changes in cellular functions that were used to develop a preliminary model for A. ferrooxidans electron transport during dissimilatory ferric iron reduction.
Project description:Comparative proteomic study of the chemolithoautotroph Ghiorsea bivora strain TAG-1. This strain was grown under two different conditions: hydrogen-oxidizing (H2 as electron donor) and iron-oxidizing (ferrous iron as electron donor). TAG-1 was grown in microaerobic conditions.
