Project description:Rice (Oryza sativa L.) seeds can germinate in complete absence of oxygen. Under anoxia, the rice coleoptile elongates, reaching a length greater than that of the aerobic one. In this series, we compare the transcriptome of rice coleoptiles grown under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Lasanthi-Kudahettige, R, et. al. Plant Physiology (2007).

Project description:Suspended cell studies were performed to document whole-genome transcriptional profiles as a function of Cr(VI) reduction under different electron accepting conditions. Cell suspension studies were performed in 250 mL serum bottles for two conditions: 1) under anoxic condition with lactate as carbon source and nitrate as electron acceptor, and 2) under aerobic condition with lactate as carbon source and oxygen as electron acceptor. The initial Cr(VI) and nitrate concentrations were 1000 μg/L and 40 mg N/L, respectively. Samples from both the conditions were collected after 5 hours and the cell pellet was saved at -80°C.
Project description:Roothans et al., analyzed heterotrophic denitrification processes that can be an important source of nitrous oxide. We employed planktonic nitrification-inhibited denitrifying enrichment cultures under alternating oxic-anoxic conditions. The dynamic conditions resulted in a general presence of the denitrifying enzymes. Overall, we show that aerobic denitrification should not be neglected as an ecologically relevant process.
