Project description:Based on the genome sequencing and gene annotation, we analyzed the alginate lyases and other genes related to alginate metabolism of strain Vibrio sp. C42, with the highest alginate-degrading activity. Combined with proteome measurement, we proposed its alginate metabolic pathways.
Project description:Nosema is a diverse fungal genus of microsporidian unicellular, obligate symbionts of insects and other arthropods. We performed a comparative genomic analysis of N. muscidifuracis, a Nosema species infecting parasitoid wasp genus Muscidifurax, with six other genome-sequenced Nosema species. A sequence motif containing at least three consecutive Cs was significantly enriched immediately upstream of the start codon in all seven Nosema genomes. Interestingly, this motif is present in ~90% of highly expressed genes, compared to ~20% in lowly expressed genes N. muscidifuracis, which may function as a cis-regulatory element for gene expression control and regulation. Our study provides new insights into the gene regulation evolution in Nosema.
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:This project is a proteomic comparison of Hyphomicrobium sp. MC8b grown with dichloromethane or with methanol. The datasets were obtained using the annotated genome of Hyphomicrobium sp. MC8b.
