Project description:We evaluated the possible mechanisms by which exposures to pulp and paper mill effluents gene expression in the fathead minnow hypothalamus Keywords: Toxicology Sexually mature fathead minnows were exposed to 100% pulp and paper mill effluents for 5 days. Tanks contained 4 females and 2 males. A total 4 tanks per effluents were used in this experiment. TM5, TM6, and KM4 represent different pulp and paper mill effluents from different mills coded for by FPInnovations-Paprican.

Project description:We evaluated the possible mechanisms by which exposure to a sequentially treated pulp and paper mill effluent affects gene expression in the liver of male and female fathead minnows.
Project description:We investigated a contaminant-degrading microbial community by sequencing total RNA (without rRNA depletion) from microcosms containing sediment from a hypoxic contaminated aquifer fed with isotopically labeled toluene.

Project description:Saprotrophic fungi, such as Aspergillus niger, grow as mycelial colonies that are often considered uniform entities. To test this uniformity, we analyzed pie-slice sections of a colony grown on spatially separated substrates (glucose, wheat bran, sugar beet pulp) using transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics. The colony tuned its response to the local carbon source composition. Plant biomass degrading CAZymes and intracellular carbon catabolic enzymes were more abundant in parts of the colony containing the corresponding sugars. For example a stronger pectinolytic response was observed in the part of the colony grown on the pectin-rich sugar beet pulp. Our results argue against a situation in which small molecules are transported efficiently through the colony and favour high diversity within the fungal colony in natural biotopes, where the substrate is typically heterogeneous. It also demonstrates the high level of plasticity of A. niger in reponse to the composition of the prevailing lignocellulose.
