Project description:E. coli K12 strain W3110 was used in this study. Cells were grown anaerobically in defined medium at pH7 and 37°C in a stirred 3-liter bioreactor until the culture reached an OD (600nm) of 3. At that point the first sample was drawn and aeration was started subsequently at 1l/min. 0.5, 1, 2, 5, and 10 min after the onset of aeration additional samples were drawn.
Project description:Salmonella typhimurium 14028s Transposon library grown in M9 minimal medium (arabinose 0.4%), O/N at 37°C with aeration, compared to the initial library selected on Luria agar plates + kanamycin (50ug/ml), O/N at 37°C Keywords: Transposon tag analysis
Project description:Our research describe the influence of aeration conditions in petri dishes for A. thaliana growth. We analyze the difference between plants grown in standard Petri dish (Non-aerated) and modified Petri dish that include aeration (Aerated). To characterize the differences between those conditions the gene expression analysis was performed. We also wanted to analyze the effect of using a micropore filter, so we designed another experiment with Aerated, Non-aerated and Micropore filter conditions.
Project description:The regulatory role of the Fis protein in fis and in the transcription of several gene regions during mid-exponential and late-stationary phase, and during different growth aeration regimes, has been investigated. Studies were done during those two growth phases and in aerated and non-aerated (microaerobic) conditions, to measure Fis enrichment and binding peaks in strategic gene regions by genome-wide microarray analysis ChIP-chip. This research investigation points to central roles for SPI-1, SPI-2, DNA gyrase and topoisomerase I, the elements of the stringent response, and the regulatory function of Fis-binding patterns, in setting and re-setting the activity of the fis gene and other involved promoters as a function of the growth conditions and aeration regimes experienced by Salmonella.
Project description:Salmonella typhimurium 14028s Transposon library recovered from spleen after IP passage of 2x10^6 through BALB/c mouse, compared to the initial Transposon library grown in LB broth (kanamycin 50ug/ml), O/N at 37°C with aeration Keywords: Transposon tag analysis
Project description:To unravel the adaptation strategies of D. shibae to anaerobic conditions in microaerobic to anaerobic parts of the ocean and to define the underlying regulatory network an anaerobic shift experiment in Salt-Water-Medium in a chemostate was established. Transcriptome analyses were used to investigate the physiological status of D. shibae under this conditions. Dinoroseobacter shibae wild type strain DSM 16493T was grown in a chemostate in saltwater mininmal medium (SWM) mimicking the conditions in the marine habitat under anaerobic conditions. For growth under oxygen depletion the media were supplemented with 50 mM KNO3 to sustain anaerobic respiration. Therefore, D. shibae was grown aerobically in the chemostate until the culture reached the exponential phase, than countinuously cultivaion was started. The dilution rate was 0.1 h-1, establishing the approximate half-maximum growth rate of D. shibae in the exponential phase. The anaerobic shift was initialised after 20 hours by stopping the aeration. The samples were harvested before (as reference) and 30 minutes after stopping the airation. Three biological replica were analyzed. Comparison: Identification of genes induced or repressed under aerobic conditions in the Dinoroseobacter shibae wild type strain DSM 16493T. Here we compared the transcriptome profile of D. shibae wild type strain DSM 16493T grown aerobically in the chemostate in exponential phase with the transcriptome profile of the D. shibae wild type strain DSM 16493T which was grown without aeration for 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60 and 120 min.
