Project description:Whole genome sequencing was performed on Halomonas sp. DSM7328 both original strain and evolved population in low dissolved oxygen (DO) level at 0.5% DO. The evolved Halomonas sp. DSM7328 was analysed and compared to the original strain.
Project description:Investigation of gene expression level changes in Gordonia sp. KTR9 and Gordonia sp. KTR9 mutant GlnR upon exposure to high and low nitrogen conditions The Gordonia sp. KTR9 strain used in this study has been previously described by Thompson KT, Crocker FH, Fredrickson HL.2005. Mineralization of the cyclic nitramine explosive hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine by Gordonia and Williamsia spp. Appl Environ Microbiol. 2005 Dec;71(12):8265-72.
Project description:Corneal epithelial stem cells reside in the limbus that is the transitional zone between the cornea and conjunctiva, and are essential to maintain the homeostasis of corneal epithelium. However, their characterization is poorly understood. Therefore, we constructed gene expression profiles of limbal epithelial SP and non-SP cell using RNA-sequencing. As a result, limbal epithelial SP cells have immature cell phenotypes with endothelial/mesenchymal cell markers, while limbal epithelial non-SP cells have epithelial progenitor cell markers.
