Project description:We used Candida albicans lab strain SC5314 to obtain tunicamycin adaptors. We did whole genome sequencing of the adaptors and the parent as well.
Project description:Purpose: Candida albicans avidly uses multiple carbon sources that are less preferred by related species. This project compared transcriptional profiles of cells growing in media containing these nutrients relative to glucose Methods: C. albicans strain SC5314 was incubated in minimal YNB media containing 2% glucose, casamino acids, glutamate or a-ketoglutarate for five hours. RNA was prepared and subjected to deep sequencing. Results: Substantial overlap was seen in the transcriptional changes in all alternative carbon sources relative to the glucose control. Source-specific changes reflected the unique metabolism of each nutrient. Conclusions: C. albicans is well-adapted to use a range of nutrients that can be found in the mammalian host and has a common transcriptional response to limiting carbon environments.
Project description:C. albicans reference strain SC5314 was exposed to inhibitory concentration of ketoconzole. Seven mutants which obtained tolerance to ketoconazole were karyotyped by whole genome sequencing.
Project description:In Candida albicans, aneuploids are unstable. When grown on YPD-agar plates, aneuploids exhibit colony size variations. In this study, 6 aneuploid strains were spread on YPD-agar plates. The large colonies from each strain were sequenced. The small colonies were sequenced in another project.
