Project description:This project aimed to explore the microbial chemical ecology of a consortium derived from a water kefir fermentation through the integration of directed culturomics, compositional metagenomics and the identification of key metabolites with biological potential, through untargeted metabolomics.
Project description:Here, we applied a microarray-based metagenomics technology termed GeoChip 5.0 to examined functional gene structure of microbes in three biomes, including boreal, temperate and tropical area.
Project description:This project aimed to assess the role of pharmacological inhibition of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) on skeletal muscle and cortical bone health in aged mice. As part of a broader systems biology approach, proteomic profiling was employed to investigate molecular mediators of neuromuscular junction (NMJ) function in skeletal muscle tissue. The study compared vehicle-treated versus BAY2416964-treated aged mice, revealing key differentially expressed proteins involved in axonal development and NMJ stability.
Project description:Here, we applied a microarray-based metagenomics technology termed GeoChip 5.0 to investigate spring microbial functional genes in mesocosm-simulated shallow lake ecosystems having been undergoing nutrient enrichment and warming for nine years.
