Project description:Metagenome data from soil samples were collected at 0 to 10cm deep from 2 avocado orchards in Channybearup, Western Australia, in 2024. Amplicon sequence variant (ASV) tables were constructed based on the DADA2 pipeline with default parameters.
Project description:In general, the endosphere isolate EC18 showed more numbers of genes significantly altered in the presence of root exudates than the soil isolate SB8 . Some of the altered genes in the two strains showed overlap. Some of these genes were previously reported to be involved in microbe-plant interactions, such as organic substance metabolism, oxidation reduction, transmembrane transportation and a subset with putative or unknown function. It was also found some genes showed opposite trend among the two strains.
Project description:Geobacteraceae transfer electrons from a donor such as acetate to an electron acceptor such as Fe(III) or U(VI). Geobacter uraniireducens is found in uranium-contaminated sites and plays an important role in in situ bioremediation. In this experiment, gene expression was compared between G. uraniireducens cultures grown in sediments from a uranium contaminated site amended with acetate and cultures grown in acetate/fumarate medium. Keywords: two-condition comparison
