Project description:Analysis of gene expression changes of Mesorhizobium alhagi CCNWXJ12-2 under high salt stress. Mesorhizobium alhagi CCNWXJ12-2 is isolated from Alhagi sparsifolia in northwest of China.
Project description:Mesorhizobium metallidurans STM 2683 and Mesorhizobium sp. strain STM 4661 were isolated from nodules of the metallicolous legume Anthyllis vulneraria from distant mining spoils. They tolerate unusually high zinc and cadmium concentrations as compared to other mesorhizobia. This work aims to study the gene expression profiles associated with zinc or cadmium exposure and to identify genes involved in metal tolerance in these two metallicolous Mesorhizobium strains of interest for mine phytostabilization purposes.
