Project description:Members of the genus Acinetobacter drag attention due to their importance in microbial pathology and biotechnology. OmpA is a porin with multifaceted functions in different species of Acinetobacter. In this study we identified this protein in Acinetobacter sp. SA01, an efficient phenol degrader strain, in different cellular and sub-cellular compartments (such as OM, OMV, biofilm and extracellular environment). Differential expression of proteins, including OmpA, under two conditions of phenol and ethanol supplementation was assessed using shotgun proteomics.
Project description:Studies of expression of mechanims of defense of the Acinetobacter sp.5-2Ac.02 from airborne hospital environment under stress conditions, such as SOS response (ROS response, heavy metals resistant mechanisms, peptides), as well as Quorum network (acetoin cluster and aromatics biodegradation cluster). Characterization functional of AcoN-like as negative regulator protein from acetoin cluster in Acinetobacter spp. Strains
Project description:Differential analysis of the potato-Rhizoctonia solani AG3 interaction. Samples were extracted from R. solani inoculated potato sprouts at two time points. R. solani is one of the most prominent fungal pests of potato and therefore of great economic relevance.
