Project description:We compared the global transcriptomic analysis of Desulfoluna spongiiphila strain AA1, an organohalide-respiring Desulfobacterota isolated from a marine sponge, with 2,6-dibromophenol or with sulfate as electron acceptor. The most significant difference of the transcriptomic analysis was the expression of one reductive dehalogenase gene cluster (rdh16), which was significantly upregulated with 2,6-dibromophenol.

Project description:This project investigates the survival strategies of organohalide-respiring bacteria in oligotrophic environments, focusing on their mechanisms of energy acquisition through humins oxidation. The research aims to uncover the metabolic adaptability of bacteria in resource-limited settings, providing new insights into microbial survival strategies under extreme conditions. It may also have significant implications for bioremediation and environmental pollution management.
