Project description:In order to get insights into the ability of ectomycorrhizal fungi to perceive their biotic environment as well as into the mechanisms of the interactions between ectomycorrhizal fungi and soil bacteria, we analysed the transcriptomic response of the ectomycorrhizal fungus L. bicolor and of two beneficial, and neutral soil bacteria during their interactions in vitro.

Project description:Some soil bacteria promote plant growth, including Pseudomonas species. With this approach we detected significant changes in Arabidopsis genes related to primary metabolism that were induced by the bacteria.

Project description:In latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) spread of the bacteria is contained by a persistent immune response, which includes CD4+ T cells as important contributors. Here we show that TB-specific CD4+ T cells have a characteristic chemokine expression signature (CXCR3+CCR6+CCR4-; Th* cells), and that the overall number of Th* cells is significantly increased in LTBI donors. We have comprehensively characterized the transcriptional signature of Th* cells and find significant differences to conventional Th1, Th17 and Th2 cells, but no major changes between healthy and LTBI donors. Th* cells display linage-specific signatures of both Th1 and Th17 cells, but also have a unique gene expression program including genes associated with susceptibility to TB, enhanced T cell activation, enhanced cell survival, and induction of a cytotoxic program akin to CTL cells. Overall, the gene expression signature of Th* reveals characteristics of cells important in controlling latent infections.
Project description:In order to get insights into the ability of ectomycorrhizal fungi to perceive their biotic environment as well as into the mechanisms of the interactions between ectomycorrhizal fungi and soil bacteria, we analysed the transcriptomic response of the ectomycorrhizal fungus L. bicolor and of two beneficial, and neutral soil bacteria during their interactions in vitro. We performed nine hybridizations (macroarray) with samples derived from Laccaria bicolor cultivated alone (3 biological replicates), with P. fluorescens BBc6R8 (3 biological replicates) and with Pf29Arp (3 biological replicates)
