Project description:Generally an opportunistic pathogen in the United States, Moraxella catarrhalis has acquired resistance to multiple antibacterial/antimicrobial agents. Here, we present the complete 1.9-Mb genome of M. catarrhalis strain ATCC 25240, as deposited in NCBI under the accession number CP008804.
Project description:In this study the transcriptomes of Acinetobacter baumannii strains ATCC 17978 and 17978hm were compared. Strain 17978hm is a hns knockout derivative of strain ATCC 17978. Strain 17978hm displays a hyper-motile phenotype on semi-solid Mueller-Hinton (MH) media (0.25% agar). ATCC 17978 and 17978hm from an 37C overnight culture were transferred to the centre of the semi-solid MH plate and incubated at 37C for 8 hours. Only 17978hm cells displayed a motile phenotype and covered the complete surface of the plate. These motile 17978hm cells and the non-motile wild-type ATCC 17978 cells were harvested and RNA was isolated. The comparative transcriptome analysis was performed using the FairPlay labeling kit and a custom made Agilent MicroArray with probes designed to coding regions of the ATCC 17978 genome. The data was analyzed using Agilent GeneSpring GX9 and the significance analysis of microarray MS Excel add-on.
Project description:Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Ureaplasma diversum strain ATCC 49782. This species is of bovine origin, having an association with reproductive disorders in cattle, including placentitis, fetal alveolitis, abortion, and birth of weak calves. It has a small circular chromosome of 975,425 bp.
Project description:This approach aims at searching unidentified regulatory roles of the AreB transcription factor in the overall carbon metabolism of A. niger. A full areB gene deletion mutant was constructed and characterized in A. niger ATCC 1015. Both strains were grown on glucose or glycerol using ammonia as nitrogen source in batch cultivations and the transcriptome was analyzed using three biological replicated transcriptome experiments. Two areB gene deletion replicates, one on glucose and one on glycerol were discarded due to bad quality and therefore not included in the analysis. Samples for RNA extraction were collected and further processed for hybridization in custom designed Affymetrix microarrays containing probes for three Aspergillus species including A. niger.
Project description:Mycobacterium neworleansense is a rapid growing nontuberculosis species belonging to the Mycobacterium fortuitum complex. The draft genome of M. neworleansense ATCC 49404(T) comprises 6,287,317 bp exhibiting a 66.85% G+C content, 5,997 protein-coding genes, and 89 predicted RNA genes.
