Project description:The goal was to ascertain the impact of cyanide treatment on E. coli's transcriptome. There were 4 biological samples. For each sample there were two replicate DNA microarray performed. Data was analyzed with Imagene and lcDNA Hyduke DR, Rohlin L, Kao KC, Liao JC. 2003 A software package for cDNA microarray data normalization and assessing confidence intervals. OMICS 7(3):227-234.
Project description:We investigated the impact of cadmium on the global transcriptome of E. coli wild type, ∆gshA and ∆gshB mutant cells to evaluate the molecular basis of cadmium toxicity in the presence or absence of cellular thiols. This global transcriptome analysis were done with cells synthezising GSH (wild type), gamma-glutamyl-cysteine (∆gshB mutant) or neither of the two cellular thiols (∆gshA mutant) under the influence of 100 µM Cd(II).
Project description:Gene expression profiling of male broiler chickens exposed to APEC O1. Comparisons were made between Day 1 and Day 5 of all treatment groups, between differences in pathology and effect of vaccine on spleen gene expression. The goal was to determine expression differences that could convey genetic resistance to APEC O1.
Project description:We investigated the impact of cadmium on the global transcriptome of E. coli wild type, â??gshA and â??gshB mutant cells to evaluate the molecular basis of cadmium toxicity in the presence or absence of cellular thiols. This global transcriptome analysis were done with cells synthezising GSH (wild type), gamma-glutamyl-cysteine (â??gshB mutant) or neither of the two cellular thiols (â??gshA mutant) under the influence of 100 µM Cd(II). E. coli cells, wild type, â??gshA and â??gshB mutant strain, were grown at 37 °C . At a cell turbidity of 100 Klett, cells were treated for 10 min with 100 µM Cd(II) or no metal as a control in TMM medium. Total RNA was extracted, DNAse digested and reverse-transcribed with either Cy3- or Cy5-labeled dCTP. Both labeled cDNA were hybridized to a slide at 42 °C. All experiments were performed with three independent biological repeats.
Project description:The goal of this study is to compare gene expression data for a well known model organism (Escherichia coli) using different technologies (NGS here, microarray from GSE48776).
Project description:Pure cultures of ammonia oxidizing bacterium, Nitrosomonas europaea, are exposed to cyanide in pseudo-steady state batch reactor in presence of ammonia. Nitrosomonas europaea are generally regarded as the most sensitive organism to various inhibitors commonly encountered in the wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). To find stress genes of Nitrosomonas europaea to cyanide known as inhibitor of respiratory process, whole-genome transcript response to cyanide was determined in this research using microarray and qRT-PCR. When 1 uM NaCN inhibits nitrification about 50 %, transcript levels of 35 genes were increased while transcript levels of 29 genes were decreased, showing more than 2-fold in total 2460 genes. moeZ (NE2353), homologue with rhodanases related to detoxification of CN-, showed 7-fold up regulation and gene cluster including moeZ also showed significant up regulation. Keywords: cyanide, stress response, moeZ

Keywords: cyanide, stress response, moeZ The 1 uM NaCN caused more than 50 % inhibition in physiological response for 1 hour incubation. Transcriptional levels of the cells inhibited by cyanide were compared with the cells under control condition.
Project description:Biological treatments to degrade cyanide are a powerful technology for cyanide removal from industrial wastewaters. It has been previously demonstrated that the alkaliphilic bacterium Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes CECT5344 is able to use free cyanide and several metal-cyanide complexes as the sole nitrogen source. In this work, the strain CECT5344 has been used for detoxification of the different chemical forms of cyanide that are present in alkaline wastewaters from the jewelry industry. This liquid residue also contains large concentrations of metals like iron, copper and zinc, making this wastewater even more toxic. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms involved in the bioremediation process, a quantitative sRNA sequencing analysis has been carried out in P. pseudoalcaligenes CECT5344 cells grown with the jewelry residue, free cyanide and ammonium as sole nitrogen sources.
