Project description:We measured abundances of tRNAs by means of hydro-tRNA-seq (Gogakos et al., 2017), a method based on partial alkaline RNA hydrolysis that generates fragments suitable for sequencing, in the genome-reduced bacterium Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
Project description:A polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium designated strain Ca6, a member of the family Rhodocyclaceae and a representative of the uncharacterized pyrene group 1 (PG1), was isolated and its genome sequenced. The presence of several genes suspected to be associated with PG1 was confirmed, and additional genes for aromatic compound metabolism were detected.
