Project description:The aniline-degrading strain T1 can efficiently degrade aniline, however, it is not clear which key genes are associated with aniline degradation, and we have adopted a genome-wide and transcriptomic approach to fully understand the microbial degradation mechanism of aniline.
Project description:Paenibacillus larvae, the causal agent of American Foulbrood disease (AFB), affects honeybee health worldwide. The present study investigates the transcriptional response of this Gram-positive, endospore-forming bacterium to bodily fluids from honeybee larvae. Four different conditions were evaluated with a loop design: sampling of in vitro grown P. larvae cultures one or four hours after addition of larval fluids or BHIT-broth (C1, T1, C4, T4).
