Project description:The goal of this work was to elucidate the mechanism by which pyruvate is utilized as a substrate in a mutant strain of Methanosarcina barkeri Fusaro. In this study, using RNAseq we gained insight into how the mutant strain modulate its transcriptional profile in order to use pyruvate as a substrate. In addition, we obtained information on how methanogens respond to pyruvate at the transcriptional level. The mRNA from of Methanosarcina barkeri Fusaro DSMZ804 and Pyr+ strains grown on a variety of substrates (methanol, acetate, methanol-acetate, methanol-pyruvate, methanol-pyruvate-acetate) were harvested sequenced and mapped to M. barkeri genome. Pairwise comparisons between two cell lines of the Pyr+ strain and the DSMZ 804 strain were performed in all substrates tested.

Project description:BACKGROUND: miRNA have been shown to play an important role during immune-mediated diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease. The aim of this study was to assess differential expression of miRNA between uninfected and infected mice with Clostridium difficile strain VPI 10463 RESULTS: MicroRNA (miRNA)-sequencing analysis indicated that miR-146b, miR-1940, and miR-1298 were significantly overexpressed in colons of C. difficile-infected mice Colon of uninfected and C.difficile-infected C57BL6/J WT mice were sampled at day 4 post-infection with Clostridium difficile VPI 10463. The infection dose was 107 cfu/mouse.
Project description:To understand transcriptional regulation of Eubacterium limosum KIST612 across different carbon/energy/electron sources, RNAseq analysis was carried out over different substrate conditions (glucose, CO, H2/CO2).
