Project description:Purpose:first,we want to find the genes revelant to curdlan synthesis and oxygen regulation, second, we want to research the function of fnrN gene in Agrobacterium sp. ATCC 31749. Method: samples of cell growth phase, curdlan-producing phase (normoxia) and curdlan-producing phase (micro-oxygen treated) in both Agrobacterium sp. ATCC 31749 wild strain and ΔfnrN strain were collectecd to extract mRNA. Each sample was treated in duplicate. The softwares we used include fastqc, trimmomatic, TopHat2 and Cufflinks. Illumina Hiseq4000 was used to complete the research.
Project description:Gene Expression Analysis of Curdlan Production in Agrobacterium sp. ATCC 31749 Two conditions are compared with four biological replicates of each condition, corresponding to eight total samples. The control condition was sampled at 22 hours during the exponential growth phase when no curdlan is produced. The second condition was sampled at 70 hours after the initiation of curdlan production, corresponding to approximately 100 hours.
