Project description:The study aimed to explore the potential of bacterial biodegradation as a solution to the global problem of plastic pollution, specifically targeting polyethylene (PE), one of the most common types of plastic. The goals of the study were to isolate a bacterial strain capable of breaking down PE, identify the key enzymes responsible for the degradation process, and understand the metabolic pathways involved. By investigating these aspects, researchers sought to gain critical insights that could be used to optimize plastic degradation conditions and inform the development of artificial microbial communities for effective bioremediation strategies. This research has significant relevance, as it addresses the pressing need for innovative and sustainable approaches to tackle the ever-growing issue of plastic waste and its impact on the environment.

Gene expression of rat PSCs cultured on plastic, matrigel and collagen

Project description:Activated pancreatic stellate cells produce the fibrotic matrix in chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. In vitro protocols examining PSC biology have usually involved PSCs cultured on plastic, a non-physiological surface. However, PSCs cultured on physiological matrices e.g. MatrigelTM (normal basement membrane) and collagen (fibrotic pancreas), may have distinctly different behaviours compared to cells cultured on plastic. Therefore, we aimed to compare PSC gene expression after culture on plastic, MatrigelTM and collagen I.

Candida albicans wild type vs. eed1 during growth on plastic

Project description:C. albicans wild type strain SC5314, the eed1 deletion mutant and an eed1 delta mutant overexpressing UME6 (eed1 + pTET-UME6) were grown on plastic (37°C, RPMI1640 medium, plastic surface, 5% CO2) for 12h. Total RNA was isolated using a phenol-chloroform protocol and labeled with Cy5. Cy5- labeled sample RNA was hybridised with Cy3- labeled common reference (SC5314, 37°C, exponential culture).
