Project description:RNASeq of roots from two genotypes of Arabidopsis thaliana plants, Col-0 and myb36-2 grown axenically or with a 41 member bacterial Synthetic Community (SynCom) to explore the interaction between the root diffusion barriers and the root microbiome.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of the Donna II mixed community containing Dehalococcoides mccartyi strain 195 comparing a batch starved control to the mixed community being fed 1,2,3,4-tetrachlorobenzene as an electron acceptor. The goal was to determine which transcripts are regulated in response to a shift in a different electron acceptor rather than the consistent tetrachloroethene (PCE) that the parent reactor was maintained on.
