Project description:The purpose of the study is to identify Irr-responsive genes in the bacterium Bradyrhizobium japonicum. Parent strain LO was compared to irr mutant strain LODTM5 by whole genome microarray analysis. Both cell types were grown in iron-limited media. Keywords: Comparison of B. japonicum wild type and mutant cells
Project description:The purpose of the study is to identify iron-responsive genes in the bacterium Bradyrhizobium japonicum. Parent strain LO was grown under iron limitation or under iron sufficiency and compared to each other by whole genome microarray analysis. Keywords: Comparison of cells grown under low or high iron conditons
Project description:The goal of this study was to determine the effects of ethylene on Azospirillum brasilense strain Sp7 and to deliniate the signal transduction pathway involved in these responses. One main focus was to determine the role of the ethylene receptor, AzoEtr1, in these responses. Since this is a plant-associated bacterium and plants produce ethylene, we evaluated the role of this pathway in mediating the ability of A. brasilense to associate with plants.
