Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level in motile strain of Sphingomonas. sp A1 All flagellar genes in motile strain of Sphingomonas. sp A1 are highly transcribed.
Project description:The aim of the study was to compare and contrast cytokine production by CD4+ chimeric antigen receptor + T-cells and putative myeloid derived suppressor cell populations (CD11b+Gr-1 hi and lo) in the spleens of Balb/c mice which had received a transfer of CD19 specific second-generation CAR T-cells 56 days previously following cyclophosphamide pre-conditioning. Splenocytes from four individual mice were pooled, incubated with antibodies to CD4, CD34 (CAR), CD11b, Gr-1 and sorted using flow cytometric cell sorting for CD4+CD34+, Gr-1 and the negative cell fraction. Total RNA was isolated and samples loaded in duplicate in the array. Data was normalized to global expression levels.

A two chip study using total RNA recovered from wild-type and motile strains of Sphingomonas. sp A1 grown in 0.5% alginate medium.
Project description:Welan gum is mainly produced by Sphingomonas sp. ATCC 31555 and has broad applications in industry such as that in cement production. Both carbon and nitrogen sources are essential for welan production. However, how nitrogen sources affect the metabolism and gene transcription of welan remains elusive. Here, we used next-generation sequencing RNA-seq to analyze the transcriptome of Sphingomonas sp. ATCC 31555 in the presence of inorganic or organic nitrogen sources. Enriched gene expression and pathway analysis suggest that organic nitrogen sources significantly enhanced the expression of genes in central metabolic pathways of Sphingomonas sp. ATCC 31555 and those critical for welan synthesis compared to that observed using inorganic nitrogen sources. The present study improves our understanding of the molecular mechanism underlying the use of nitrogen in welan synthesis in Sphingomonas sp., as well as provides an important transcriptome resource for Sphingomonas sp. in relation to nitrogen sources.
