Project description:Isolation and characterization of two recently isolated Novosphingobium oxfordensis sp. nov. and Novosphingobium mississippiensis sp. nov. strains from soil, with LCMS and genome-based investigation of their glycosphingolipid productions
Project description:We sought to determine how a cystic fibrosis isolate of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia responds to relevant pH gradients (pH 5, 7, and 9) by growing the bacterium in phosphate buffered media and conducting RNAseq experiments. Our data suggests acidic conditions are stressful for strain FLR19, as it responded by increasing expression of stress-response and antibiotic-resistance genes.
