Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous gram-negative bacterium capable of forming biofilms on living and non-living surfaces, frequently leading to undesirable consequences. We found that lauroyl arginate ethyl (LAE), a synthetic non-oxidizing biocide, inhibited biofilm formation by P. aeruginosa at sub-growth inhibitory concentrations in both static and flow conditions. To identify the genes targeted by LAE, a global transcriptome analysis was conducted using a gene chip microarray.
Project description:Euglena gracilis is regarded as a flexible and adaptable free-living protist of considerable biotechnological interest. We carried out proteomic analysis of the E. gracilis purified chloroplast and mitochondrion. These data provide a new level of insight into functions and unique characteristics of these organelles and reveals the manner, in which these differ from its counterparts in other organisms.
