Project description:The purpose of this study is to determine whether the presence of pathogenic Escherichia coli in colon is associated with psychiatric disorders.
Project description:Despite the characterization of many aetiologic genetic changes. The specific causative factors in the development of sporadic colorectal cancer remain unclear. This study was performed to detect the possible role of Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) in developing colorectal carcinoma.
Project description:we designed a CRISPR-based chromosome-doubling technique to construct an artificial diploid Escherichia coli cell. The stable diploid E. coli was confirmed by quantitative PCR and third-generation genome sequencing.
Project description:Purpose: In this study, Escherichia coli DH5alpha whole transcriptome sequencing was performed in order to compare the different gene expression profiles between control and exposed to Wi-Fi radiofrequency radiations. Methods:Escherichia coli DH5alpha were exposed to Wi-Fi radiations. Total RNA samples( control and exposed ) were extracted by bacteria protect-Rneasy kit,treated with DNAase and subjected to sequnecing using an Illumina-NovaSeq 6000 platform. Library preparation and sequencing were performed by Macrogen (south korea).Trimmed reads are mapped to reference genome with Bowtie. HTseq was used for expression profiling. Expression profile was calculated for each sample and gene as read count.
Project description:To understand the mechanism of isopropanol tolerance of Escherichia coli for improvement of isopropanol production, we performed genome re-sequencing and transcriptome analysis of isopropanol tolerant E. coli strains obtained from parallel adaptive laboratory evolution under IPA stress.
Project description:Escherichia coli (E. coli) amine oxidase (ECAO) encoded by tynA gene has been one of the model enzymes to study the mechanism of oxidative deamination of amines to the corresponding aldehydes by amine oxidases. The biological roles of ECAO have been less addressed. Therefore we have constructed a gene deletion Escherichia coli K-12 strain, E. coli tynA-, and used the microarray technique to address its function by comparing the total RNA gene expression to the one of the wt. Our results suggest that tynA is a reserve gene for stringent environmental conditions and its gene product ECAO a growth advantage compared to other bacteria due to H2O2 production.
Project description:The intention of this study is to analyse the effect of antibiotics on the gene expression of Escherichia coli. Shaking-flask cultivations of Escherichia coli K12GFP-UTL2 were carried out with a medium containing nalidixic acid. Cultures with antibiotic-free medium, which were run in an identical way, served as reference. Samples were taken at different times during the cultivations, the RNA was isolated and hybridised on whole genome yeast microarrays. Keywords: Influence of toxins on gene expression in E. coli
Project description:Counting DNA reads using whole genome sequencing is providing new insight into DNA double-strand break repair (DSBR) in the model organism Escherichia coli. We describe the application of RecA chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled to genomic DNA sequencing (RecA-ChIP-seq) and marker frequency analysis (MFA) to analyse the genomic consequences of DSBR.
