Project description:Comparison of probe-target dissociations of probe Eub338 and Gam42a with native RNA of P. putida, in vitro transcribed 16s rRNA of P. putida, in vitro transcribed 16S rRNA of a 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene contaminated soil and an uncontaminated soil sample. Functional ANOVA revealed no significant differences in the dissociation curves of probe Eub338 when hybridised to the different samples. On the opposite, the dissociation curve of probe Gam42a with native RNA of P. putida was significantly different than the dissociation curves obtained with in vitro transcribed 16S rRNA samples. Keywords: Microbial diversity, thermal dissociation analysis, CodeLink microarray

Transcriptomic study of Sphingomonas sp. LH128 inoculated into phenanthrene-contaminated soil

Project description:The survival, pollutant degradation activity and transcriptome response was monitored in Sphingomonas sp. LH128 inoculated into soil. Cultivable cell numbers were determined by plating, while phenanthrene degradation was monitored by HPLC. The genetic base for the adaptive strategy of LH128 in soil was investigated by using microarray consisting 7,200 gene-coding ORFs. During 4 hours of incubation, 510 genes were differentially expressed (317 increased and 193 reduced expression) while 610 genes were differentially expressed (318 increased and 292 reduced) after 10 days of incubation. Genes with increased expression comprised of gene encoding PAH catabolic enzymes, stress resistance, oxidative stress tolerance, outer membrane proteins/porins and efflux pump proteins while the downregulated genes comprised of genes encoding flagellar biosynthesis, ribosomal proteins and ATPase. Transcriptomic response of phenanthrene degrading Sphingomonas sp. LH128 inoculated into phenanthrene contaminated soil after 4h and after 10 days of incubation was studied using genome-wide gene expression analysis. For this purpose, the strain was pregrown in minimal medium and inoculated at appropriated celld densitites. RNA was extracted both from soil and and from initial inoculum and cDNA was synthesized and labeled with Cy3. Transcriptomic response in soil of three replicates per conditions after both incubation duration were analyzed and compared with the initial inoculum

High-throughput 16S rRNA amplicon pyrosequencing of contaminated aquifer sediment

Project description:Contaminated aquifer (Dusseldorf-Flinger, Germany) templates extracted from 5 sediment depths ranging between 6.4 and 8.4 m below ground and over 3 years of sampling were amplified for amplicon pyrosequencing using the primers Ba27f (5’-aga gtt tga tcm tgg ctc ag-3’) and Ba519r (5’- tat tac cgc ggc kgc tg-3’), extended as amplicon fusion primers with respective primer A or B adapters, key sequence and multiplex identifiers (MID) as recommended by 454/Roche. Amplicons were purified and pooled as specified by the manufacturer. Emulsion PCR (emPCR), purification of DNA-enriched beads and sequencing run were performed following protocols and using a 2nd generation pyrosequencer (454 GS FLX Titanium, Roche) as recommended by the developer. Quality filtering of the pyrosequencing reads was performed using the automatic amplicon pipeline of the GS Run Processor (Roche), with a slight modification concerning the valley filter (vfScanAllFlows false instead of TiOnly) to extract the sequences. Demultiplexed raw reads were furhter trimmed for quality and lenght (>250 bp).
