Project description:In this study we investigate the molecular physiology of the main S. cerevisiae commercial strain (PE-2) used on Brazilian bioethanol process under two distinct conditions: typical (TF) and flocculated (co-aggregated - FL) fermentation. Transcriptional machinery of PE-2 was assessed by high throughput sequencing-based methods (RNA-seq) during industrial fed-batch fermentations. Data from comparative analysis revealed distinct transcriptional profiles among conditions, characterized mainly by a deep gene repression on FL process.
Project description:We observed through Western blot that Mycobacterium marinum secreted more highly abundant PE-PGRS proteins that are above 130 kDa when treated with compound 36 than mock-treated bacteria. We would like to explore which PE-PGRS proteins are more secreted in this condition and whether other proteins are also differentially secreted between two conditions.
