Project description:Mycobacterium dioxanotrophicus PH-06 can degrade 1,4-dioxane (dioxane), which is a groundwater contaminant of emerging concern. In order to find the genes involved in dioxane degradation. RNA sequencing was first used to investigate gene expression levels of PH-06 during growth on two different carbon sources (dioxane and glucose). The sequencing shows that a monooxygenase gene cluster was upregulated when treated with dioxane relative to glucose.
Project description:The biofilm proteome profile of endodontic and systemic pathogen E. faecalis has been analysed in this study to identify markers associated with its biofilm formation. Strong and weak biofilm forming E. faecalis clinical isolates were compared with two standard ATCC strains of E. faecalis in order to elucidate the biological pathways associated with the biofilm formation capability of E. faecalis.
