Project description:We report an small RNA sequencing (sRNA-seq) approach to identify host sRNAs involved in the nitrogen fixing symbiosis between Mesoamerican Phaseolus vulgaris and Rhizobium etli strains with different degrees in nodulation efficiency. This approach identified conserved and known microRNAs (miRNAs) differentially accumulated in Mesoamerican P. vulgaris roots in response to a highly efficient strain, to a less efficient one or to both strains.
Project description:Purpose: The objective of this study is to reveal the potential effects of CuO nanoparicles (NPs) on Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough (D. vulgaris) via genome-wide RNA sequencing Methods: RNA was harvested from D. vulgaris cultures in the presence and absence of CuO NPs (0, 1, 50, 250 mg CuO NPs/L) 8 h after cultivation.
Project description:Differences in gene expression between a mutant D. vulgaris strain missing the PerR transcriptional regulator gene and the wild-type strain.
Project description:The syntrophic growth of strain 195 with Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough (DVH) and/or Methanobacterium congolense (MC) enhanced TCE dechlorination process by faster dechlorination rate and more robust growth. Transcriptomes of strain 195 grown in isolation, co- and tri-cultures were obtained by microarray experiments to find out the differential expressed genes corresponding to the syntrophic growth. Thus we can better understand the role of DVH and MC within this syntrophy.
Project description:Investigation of gene expression changes in a DvH genotype ES10-5, a strain isolated from population ES10 which has been evolved under salt stress for 5000 generations. The gene expression was compared to a gentype ES9-11 isolated from ES9 evolved under the same condition for 1200 generations and the ancestral strain. The genotype ES10-5 was characterized in this study. ES9-11 was isolated and characterized in Zhou A et al., 2013. Characterization of NaCl tolerance in Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough through experimental evolution. ISME J, 7(9), 1790-1802
