Project description:We investigated a contaminant-degrading microbial community by sequencing total RNA (without rRNA depletion) from microcosms containing sediment from a hypoxic contaminated aquifer fed with isotopically labeled toluene.
Project description:Columns containing Hanford 100H aquifer sediment continuously infused with 5 mM lactate, 5 uM Cr(VI), and either 7.5 mM sulfate or 12 mM nitrate as an electron acceptor.
Project description:E. coli K12 strain W3110 was used in this study. Cells were grown anaerobically in defined medium at pH7 and 37°C in a stirred 3-liter bioreactor until the culture reached an OD (600nm) of 3. At that point the first sample was drawn and aeration was started subsequently at 1l/min. 0.5, 1, 2, 5, and 10 min after the onset of aeration additional samples were drawn.
Project description:Salmonella typhimurium 14028s Transposon library grown in M9 minimal medium (arabinose 0.4%), O/N at 37°C with aeration, compared to the initial library selected on Luria agar plates + kanamycin (50ug/ml), O/N at 37°C Keywords: Transposon tag analysis
Project description:Our research describe the influence of aeration conditions in petri dishes for A. thaliana growth. We analyze the difference between plants grown in standard Petri dish (Non-aerated) and modified Petri dish that include aeration (Aerated). To characterize the differences between those conditions the gene expression analysis was performed. We also wanted to analyze the effect of using a micropore filter, so we designed another experiment with Aerated, Non-aerated and Micropore filter conditions.
Project description:The regulatory role of the Fis protein in fis and in the transcription of several gene regions during mid-exponential and late-stationary phase, and during different growth aeration regimes, has been investigated. Studies were done during those two growth phases and in aerated and non-aerated (microaerobic) conditions, to measure Fis enrichment and binding peaks in strategic gene regions by genome-wide microarray analysis ChIP-chip. This research investigation points to central roles for SPI-1, SPI-2, DNA gyrase and topoisomerase I, the elements of the stringent response, and the regulatory function of Fis-binding patterns, in setting and re-setting the activity of the fis gene and other involved promoters as a function of the growth conditions and aeration regimes experienced by Salmonella.
