Project description:We selected normal Myodes rufocanus eyes and lens clouded eyes for transcriptome sequencing, and excavated the lens clouded eyes by analyzing and comparing. We investigated the genes and mechanisms involved in congenital cataract.
Project description:We wished to examine the effect that coculture with Desemzia incerta would have on the S. aureus transcriptional profile. We have previously shown D. incerta to have antimicrobial activity against S. aureus. We used a transwell coculture system to separate the two bacterial cultures. Transcriptional profiling revealed downregulated of genes in the arc operon, the pur operon, the mnh family proteins, and cap family proteins and upregulations in the arg operon and the ahp opeorn. Subsequent biological follow-up revealed decrease in S. aureus biofiom formation after D. incerta co-culture.
