Project description:Investigation of gene expression level changes in Gordonia sp. KTR9 and Gordonia sp. KTR9 mutant GlnR upon exposure to high and low nitrogen conditions The Gordonia sp. KTR9 strain used in this study has been previously described by Thompson KT, Crocker FH, Fredrickson HL.2005. Mineralization of the cyclic nitramine explosive hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine by Gordonia and Williamsia spp. Appl Environ Microbiol. 2005 Dec;71(12):8265-72.
Project description:Investigation of gene expression level changes in Gordonia sp. KTR9 upon exposure to RDX and Nitrogen Limitation, compared to controls with no RDX. The Gordonia sp. KTR9 strain used in this study has been previously described by Thompson KT, Crocker FH, Fredrickson HL.2005.

A 12 x 135K array study using total RNA recovered from triplicate cultures of KTR9 exposed to high nitrogen conditions, triplicate cultures of KTR9 exposed to low nitrogen conditions, triplicate cultures of KTR9 mutant GlnR exposed to high nitrogen conditions, triplicate cultures of KTR9 mutant GlnR exposed to low nitrogen conditions.
Project description:Gordonia bronchialis Tsukamura 1971 is the type species of the genus. G. bronchialis is a human-pathogenic organism that has been isolated from a large variety of human tissues. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. This is the first completed genome sequence of the family Gordoniaceae. The 5,290,012 bp long genome with its 4,944 protein-coding and 55 RNA genes is part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project.
Project description:We report the case of a deep sternal wound infection with sternal osteomyelitis caused by Gordonia bronchialis after open-heart surgery. The isolate was identified as a G. bronchialis by 16S rRNA and hsp65 gene sequencing, having initially been misidentified as a Rhodococcus by a commercial phenotypic identification system.
Project description:Gordonia species are aerobic Gram-positive bacilli that rarely cause human infections, often in the setting of indwelling intravascular catheters. We report the first case of osteomyelitis caused by Gordonia bronchialis in a healthy immunocompetent host in the absence of an intravascular catheter.
