Project description:Revised draft genomes of the type strains Rhodomicrobium vannielii ATCC 17100 and Rhodomicrobium udaipurense JA643 Genome sequencing and assembly
Project description:S. aureus ATCC 25923 is performance standard for antimicrobial susceptibility testing. S. aureus ATCC 33591 showed resistance against erytrhromycin, penicillin, and streptomycin. We used microarray to compare RNA expression between sensitive and resistant strain of S. aureus as a preliminary research for MRSA inhibition.
Project description:In this study the transcriptomes of Acinetobacter baumannii strains ATCC 17978 and 17978hm were compared. Strain 17978hm is a hns knockout derivative of strain ATCC 17978. Strain 17978hm displays a hyper-motile phenotype on semi-solid Mueller-Hinton (MH) media (0.25% agar). ATCC 17978 and 17978hm from an 37C overnight culture were transferred to the centre of the semi-solid MH plate and incubated at 37C for 8 hours. Only 17978hm cells displayed a motile phenotype and covered the complete surface of the plate. These motile 17978hm cells and the non-motile wild-type ATCC 17978 cells were harvested and RNA was isolated. The comparative transcriptome analysis was performed using the FairPlay labeling kit and a custom made Agilent MicroArray with probes designed to coding regions of the ATCC 17978 genome. The data was analyzed using Agilent GeneSpring GX9 and the significance analysis of microarray MS Excel add-on.
Project description:Comparative genomic hybridization microarrays featuring overlapping probes spanning the entire C. botulinum type A1 strain ATCC 3502 genome were used to identify regions whose presence are variable among a diverse panel of type A C. botulinum strains.
Project description:Corynebacterium glutamicum strain ATCC 21831 is a producer of L-arginine that was created by random mutagenesis. It is resistant to the arginine structural analogue canavanine. In order to identify potential bottlenecks in the biosynthetic pathway that leads to this industrially important amino acid, relative metabolite abundances of biosynthetic intermediates were determined in comparison to the type strain ATCC 13032. An extract of U13C-labeled biomass was used as internal standard, to correct for different ionization efficiencies. Metabolites were identified using the ALLocator web platform.
