Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in a Gluconacetobacter xylinus NBRC 3288 delta-fnrG mutant, compared to the wild-type strain.
Project description:Purpose:The goals of this study are to clarify the B. subtilis NBRC 16449 response to soybeans. Methods: B. subtilis NBRC 16449 cells were aerobically cultured in liquid LB, LB solidified with agar, or on surface of boiled soybeans to logarithmic growth phase. Total RNAs were extracted from bacterial cells by Hot-Phenol method. Samples for RNA-seq were prepared according to Illmina protocol available from the manufacture. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with bowtie v0.11.2. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped around 15 million sequence reads per sample to the whole genome of B. subtilis BEST195 and identified 4271 transcripts in B. subtilis NBRC 16449 with Bowtie aligner. Read count per genome was extracted from known gene annotations with HTSeq program. Compared the transcriptomes of B. subtilis NBRC 16449 grown on LB solidified with agar to that grown on surface of boiled soybeans, about 5% of genes showed the different expression levels.
Project description:This project aims to analyse the proteins of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) released by a Serratia bacteria strain Su_YN1, which is isolated from field-caught mosquito gut. Su_YN1 produces massive OMVs under host serum induction. The data contain LC-MSMS results of the OMVs released without serum induction (WT-), and serum induced OMVs of WT strain (WT+) and several gene disruption strains (disruption of the ABC transporter genes ABC1 and ABC2). This project was conducted by CEMPS lab and Shanghai hoogen biotech co.ltd. The CEMPS lab prepared the purified OMV samples and Shanghai hoogen biotech co.ltd conducted the LC-MSMS analysis.
