Project description:Lysinibacillus varians GY32 was isolated from river sediment of electronic waste recycling site. Its invariably filament-to-rod cell cycle represents a novel bacteria morphogenesis that is crucial in understanding cell division coordination with lifecycle and environmental bacteria adaptation. A description of genes and biological processes involved in the special filament-to-rod cell cycle of L. varians GY32 is within reach.
Project description:Lysinibacillus varians GY32 is a filamentous bacteria that can generate electricity in microbial fuel cells. To find potential genes participating in the electron transfer to electrode of Lysinibacillus varians GY32, we compared the gene expression profiles of this bacteria with yeast extract as electron donor and two electron acceptors, i.e. oxygen and electrode in microbial fuel cells. The results showed that several cytochrome c genes might play specific roles in the extracellular electron transfer to electrode in this strain.
Project description:Lysinibacillus varians GY32 is a filamentous bacteria that can generate electricity in microbial fuel cells. To find potential genes participating in the electron transfer to electrode of Lysinibacillus varians GY32, we compared the gene expression profiles of this bacteria with acetate as electron donor and two electron acceptors, i.e. oxygen and electrode in microbial fuel cells. The results showed that several cytochrome c genes might play specific roles in the extracellular electron transfer to electrode in this strain.
Project description:The transcription factor CrzA influences cell wall organization in the pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus, and also binds to the promoter regions of chitin synthase genes upon exposure to the antifungal drug caspofungin. To gain an overview of the genes directly regulated by CrzA, the CrzA binding sites were determined genome-wide by ChIP-seq
