Project description:The alkaliphilic halotolerant bacterium Bacillus sp. N16-5 often faces salt stress in its natural habitats. One-color microarrays was used to investigate transcriptome expression profiles of Bacillus sp. N16-5 adaptation reactions to prolonged grown at different salinities (0%, 2%, 8% and 15% NaCl) and the initial reaction to suddenly alter salinity from 0% to 8% NaCl.

N16-5 adaptation reactions to prolonged grown at different salinities (0%, 2%, 8% and 15% NaCl) and the initial reaction to suddenly alter salinity from 0% to 8% NaCl. Salt induced gene expression was measured when culture was grown on different salinities (0%, 2%, 8% and 15% NaCl) to mid-logarithmic phase. And salt induced gene expression was also measured at 0 min, 10 min, 30 min, 60min, 120min after a sudden change salinity from 0% to 8% NaCl.
Project description:Alkaline hemicellulytic bacteria Bacillus sp. N16-5 has abroad substrate spectrum and exhibits great growth ability on complex carbohydrates. In order to get insight into its carbohydrate utilization mechanism, global transcriptional profiles were separately determined for growth on glucose, fructose, mannose, galactose, arabinose, xylose, galactomannan, xylan, pectin and carboxymethyl cellulose by using one-color microarrays.
Project description:Gene expression profiling of the rat lung after whole-body inhalation exposure to C60 fullerene and ultrafine nickel oxide (Uf-NiO) particles as a positive control were employed to gain insights into these molecular events.
