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 obtained pfkAB-deleted E. coli K-12 MG1655 strain that can thrive on glucose minimal medium with adaptive laboratory evolution (pfk_ALE-1 strain). Functional analysis of the mutations detected in the pfk_ALE-1 strain was conducted to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of these mutations. We performed transcriptome analysis with RNA-seq to investigate the transcriptomic effects of mutations involved in the glycolytic pathway and global transcriptional regulation. Transcriptomic analysis revealed the expression levels of 4,497 genes on the chromosome of MG1655 and ALE-1 strains.
Project description:We report the effect of oxygenation state in lactose grown escherichia coli producing recombinant proteins. To shed more light on the mechanistic correlation between the uptake of lactose and dissolved oxygen, a comprehensive study has been undertaken with the E. coli BL21 (DE3) strain. Differences in consumption pattern of lactose, metabolites, biomass and product formation due to aerobiosis have been investigated. Transcriptomic profiling of metabolic changes due to aerobic process and microaerobic process during protein formation phase has been studied and the results provide a deeper understanding of protein production in E. coli BL21 (DE3) strains with lactose based promoter expression systems.This study also provides a scientific understanding of escherichia coli metabolism upon oxygen fluctuations.
Project description:The present study investigated the role(s) of RNase I (encoded by the rna gene) in Escherichia coli by comparative gene expression analysis of an rna mutant and the isogenic wild-type E. coli strain BW25113. The transcriptomic analysis aims to provide mechanistic insight into aberrant phenotypes observed in the RNase I-deficient mutant.
