Project description:This series represents the work described in the publication Bacillus subtilis Genome Diversity by Earl et al. (Journal of Bacteriology, accepted) Keywords: comparative genomic hybridization
Project description:Soybeans fermented by Bacillus subtilis BJ3-2 exhibits strong ammonia taste in medium temperature below 37℃ and prominent soy sauce-like aroma moderate temperatures above 45℃. The transcriptome sequencing of Bacillus subtilis BJ3-2 (incubating at 37°C and 45°C) has been completed, screening of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) through data analysis, and analyzing their metabolic pathways, laying a foundation for exploring the regulatory mechanism of soy sauce-like aroma formation.
Project description:Investigation of the kinetics of whole genome gene expression level changes in Bacillus subtilis NDmed strain during formation of submerged biofilm and pellicle. The Bacillus subtilis NDmed strain analyzed in this study is able to form thick and highly structured submerged biofilms as described in Bridier et al., (2011) The Spatial Architecture of Bacillus subtilis Biofilms Deciphered Using a Surface-Associated Model and In Situ Imaging. PLoS ONE 6(1):e16177.
Project description:Identification of the specific WalR (YycF) binding regions on the B. subtilis chromosome during exponential and phosphate starvation growth phases. The data serves to extend the WalRK regulon in Bacillus subtilis and its role in cell wall metabolism, as well as implying a role in several other cellular processes.
Project description:Small RNA libraries were constructed from total RNA from Jasminum sambac plants exhibiting virus-like symptoms. After sequencing, small RNAs were assembled into contigs with MetaVelvet and assembled contigs were aligned against the NR database of NCBI using BLASTx. Top hits that reported a virus as subject were considered putative viral sequences. Based on such alignments, the whole genome of a virus, we tentatively name Jasmine Virus H was recovered and cloned. Two more small RNA libraries were made in a confirmatory experiment. One from Jasminum sambac and another one from Nicotiana benthamiana plants infected with the newly-cloned virus. The small RNA libraries were aligned against the full-length sequence of Jasmine Virus H to determine the spacial distribution of virus-derived small RNAs along the virus genome.
