Project description:This study evaluates whether different pre-treatments (+Pi, -Pi and +Phi) influences the phosphate starvation transcriptional response triggered by a bacterial synthetic community in Arabidopsis seedlings.
Project description:Here we have compared adult wildtype (N2) C. elegans gene expression when grown on different bacterial environments/fod sources in an effort to model naturally occuring nematode-bacteria interactions at the Konza Prairie. We hypothesize that human-induced changes to natural environments, such as the addition of nitrogen fertalizer, have effects on the bacterial community in soils and this drives downstream changes in the structure on soil bacterial-feeding nematode community structure. Here we have used transcriptional profiling to identify candidate genes involved in the interaction of nematodes and bacteria in nature.
Project description:We performed gene expression analysis using the SCRB-Seq method from cervical and peripheral blood antigen presenting cells that were collected from women with different cervicovaginal bacterial community types.
