Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (Mtb) was grown in Sauton's medium with and without added zinc. Cultures were grown for 10 days and RNA was harvested from TRIzol extractions.
Project description:The study was designed to describe the effects of zinc limitation on gene expression in M. smegmatis by comparing the transcriptomes of zinc-replete and zinc-limited wild type. Additionally, the study informs how loss of the altRP operon impacts the transcriptomic changes during zinc limitation by comparing the transcriptomes of zinc-limited ΔaltRP mutant to the zinc-replete and zinc-limited wild type, and to confirm which changes are complemented in the complement strain (ΔaltRP/c).

Project description:RNA-seq of zinc-replete wild type and zinc-limited wild type, altRP operon deletion mutant and its complement strain in Mycolicibacterium (Mycobacterium) smegmatis
Project description:Transcriptomics of Mycobacterium tuberculosis exposed to zinc limitation, zinc depletion by calprotectin and TPEN, and zinc toxicity
Project description:Klebsiella pneumoniae is a bacterial pathogen that causes nosocomial infection in humans and is acquiring antibiotic resistance at an alarming rate. This study investigates the effect of zinc limitation on the phosphoproteome of K. pneumoniae using quantitative mass spectrometry to provide insight into the cell signaling methods used to respond to nutrient limited conditions like those experienced when colonizing a host.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in a Nitrosomonas europaea (ATCC 19718) wildtype and pFur::Kan mutant [kanamycin resistance cassette insertion in the promoter region of the fur gene (NE0616)] strains grown in Fe-replete and Fe-limited media. The Nitrosomonas europaea (ATCC 19718) wiltype cells grown in Fe-limited media were compared to cells grown in Fe-replete media to gain a better understanding of the metabolic changes occurring in response to iron stress. The Nitrosomonas europaea (ATCC 19718) pFur::Kan mutant strain grown in Fe-replete & Fe-limited media were compared to wildtype cells grown in Fe=replete & Fe-limited media to gain a better understanding of the role Fur (NE0616) plays in iron homeostasis control. A 4-plex 3 chip study using total RNA recovered from three separate wild-type cultures each of N. europaea grown in Fe-replete media and Fe-limited media and three seperate cultures each of N. europaea pFur::Kan mutant strain grown in Fe-replete and Fe-limited media. Each chip measures the expression level of 2368 genes from Nitrosomonas europaea (ATCC19718) with 4 X 72,000 60-mer 14 probe pairs per gene, with two-fold technical redundancy.
