Project description:This data set contains bacteria isolated from corals. The bacteria were cultured and tested in a biological assay against pathogenic bacteria that may be involved in Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease. The bacteria in this data set include pathogenic and potentially probiotic bacteria.
Project description:We show that mitochondrial aconitase, ACO-2, a Krebs cycle enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of citrate to isocitrate, inhibits immunity against pathogenic bacteria in C. elegans. We found that genetic inhibition of aco-2 enhanced mitochondrial unfolded protein response, subsequently upregulating ATFS-1 transcription factor, which contributed to enhanced immunity against pathogenic bacteria.
