Project description:The genome sequences of three extremely thermophilic, lignocellulolytic Caldicellulosiruptor species were closed, improving previously reported multiple-contig assemblies. All 14 classified Caldicellulosiruptor spp. now have closed genomes. Genome closure will enhance bioinformatic analysis of the species, including identification of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) and comparison against other Caldicellulosiruptor species and lignocellulolytic microorganisms.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in Lactococcus lactis KCTC 3769T,L. raffinolactis DSM 20443T, L. plantarum DSM 20686T, L. fujiensis JSM 16395T, L. garvieae KCTC 3772T, L. piscium DSM 6634T and L. chungangensis CAU 28T . This proves that transcriptional profiling can facilitate in elucidating the genetic distance between closely related strains.
