Project description:Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and Drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) are critical points for public health for persistently remaining microorganisms after treatment may pose a risk. This study aimed to conduct microbial metagenomic analyses on waters from both DWTPs and WWTPs under the Istanbul Water and Sewerage Administration (ISKI). In this study a total of 52 samples were included, comprising 18 samples from DWTPs and 34 from WWTPs. All water samples underwent pre-isolation filtration. DNA isolation was conducted using filter material, followed by library preparation and sequencing on a NovaSeq 6000 instrument following the manufacturer's guidelines.

Project description:Cuttings from Razegui cultivar were cultivated in sand for 2 months according to the method we have described previously (Azri et al. 2020). Then grapevine plantlets were further grown in pots containing sand/peat mixture (2/1, v/v), in a controlled greenhouse (16 h light/8 h dark at PAR 300 μmol m-2 s-1 photoperiod, 24 °C day/20 °C night temperature and 65-75% relative humidity). They were watered daily with tap water and supplemented once a week with 100 mL of Gibeaut’s nutrient solution (Gibeaut et al. 1997). Drought stress was applied according to our previously described procedure (Azri et al. 2020): plants with 10-15 leaves were either irrigated daily with water (control) or non-irrigated at all (water deficit). After 4 time points (day 0, 4, 8 and 16) of water deficit, the 4th fully-developed leaf was harvested and used for physiological analyses. Three independent biological experiments were performed consisting each in 2 treatments (control and water deficit) and 3 plants per time point and treatment. Proteomic analysis was performed on the 5th fully developed leaves at the time point 16 days of drought treatment. Irrigated and non-irrigated leaves were harvested immediately in liquid nitrogen and stored at - 80 °C until analysis. Three biological replicates were carried out for each treatment.
Project description:Lysinibacillus varians GY32 is a filamentous bacteria that can generate electricity in microbial fuel cells. To find potential genes participating in the electron transfer to electrode of Lysinibacillus varians GY32, we compared the gene expression profiles of this bacteria with yeast extract as electron donor and two electron acceptors, i.e. oxygen and electrode in microbial fuel cells. The results showed that several cytochrome c genes might play specific roles in the extracellular electron transfer to electrode in this strain.

To find potential genes participating in the electron transfer to electrode of Lysinibacillus varians GY32, we compared the gene expression profiles of this bacteria with acetate as electron donor and two electron acceptors, i.e. oxygen and electrode in microbial fuel cells. The results showed that several cytochrome c genes might play specific roles in the extracellular electron transfer to electrode in this strain.
