Project description:Capable of using phenol as the sole carbon source to degrade phenol and complete its mineralization; Simultaneously capable of undergoing manganese oxidation process.
Project description:The physiological and transcriptional response of Nitrosomonas europaea biofilms to phenol and toluene was examined and compared to suspended cells. Biofilms were grown in Drip Flow Biofilm Reactors under continuous flow conditions of growth medium containing ammonia as growth substrate. The responses of N. europaea biofilms to the aromatic hydrocarbons phenol and toluene were determined during short-term (3 h) additions of each compound to the biofilms. Ammonia oxidation in the biofilms was inhibited 50% by 60 uM phenol and 100 uM toluene. These concentrations were chosen for microarray analysis of phenol- and toluene-exposed N. europaea biofilms. Liquid batch cultures of exponentially growing N. europaea cells were harvested alongside the biofilms to determine differential gene expression between attached and suspended growth of N. europaea.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in Ferroglobus placidus grown on phenol versus acetate as electron donors, with ferric citrate as electron acceptor.
Project description:Previous analysis of gene transcript levels of Geobacter species in groundwater during in situ bioremediation of a uranium-contaminated aquifer detected expression of genes encoding superoxide dismutase (sodA) and cytochrome d ubiquinol oxidase (cydA), proteins known to be involved in the response to oxidative stress in other microorganisms. In order to further elucidate gene expression patterns that could be attributed to oxygen exposure, G. uraniumreducens was grown with acetate as the electron donor and fumarate as the electron acceptor in the presence of oxygen and compared to non-oxygen treated cultures.
Project description:To investigate the effect of synthetic phenol-soluble modulins (PSMs) secreted by S. epidermidis on primary keratinocytes. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of 4 different cells at two time points.
Project description:To investigate the effect of both S. epidermidis phenol-soluble modulins (PSMs) and EcpA genetic knockouts on murine back skin. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of 5 conditions (n=3 per condition).
Project description:Global gene expression analysis of Staphylococcus aureus following Para-Tertiary Amyl Phenol (PTAP) treatment using Affymetrix GeneChip arrays. Results from this study provide insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying the cellular response of Staphylococcus aureus to PTAP.
