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:Members of the genus Acinetobacter drag attention due to their importance in microbial pathology and biotechnology. OmpA is a porin with multifaceted functions in different species of Acinetobacter. In this study we identified this protein in Acinetobacter sp. SA01, an efficient phenol degrader strain, in different cellular and sub-cellular compartments (such as OM, OMV, biofilm and extracellular environment). Differential expression of proteins, including OmpA, under two conditions of phenol and ethanol supplementation was assessed using shotgun proteomics.
Project description:Acinetobacter mesopotamicus sp. nov., petroleum-degrading bacterium, isolated from petroleum-contaminated soil in Diyarbakir, in the Southeast of Turkey.
