Project description:In this study, the recombinant Trichoderma reesei strain HJ48 was employed to investigate the differences between anaerobic and aerobic fermentation of glucose, through genome-wide transcription analysis.Analysis of the genes induced under fermentation condition has revealed novel features in T. reesei. Our results how that many genes related to ribosome were expressed more highly under aerobic condition in HJ48.
Project description:An aerobic Lactobacillus plantarum culture displayed growth stagnation during early growth. Transcriptome analysis revealed that regain of growth after stagnation correlated with activation of CO2-producing pathways suggesting that limiting CO2-concentration induced stagnation. Analogously providing increased CO2 gas partial pressure during aerobic fermentation prevented the temporal growth stagnation. Keywords: cell type comparison

Transcriptome analysis revealed that regain of growth after stagnation correlated with activation of CO2-producing pathways suggesting that limiting CO2-concentration induced stagnation. Analogously providing increased CO2 gas partial pressure during aerobic fermentation prevented the temporal growth stagnation. Keywords: cell type comparison Two aerobic fermenters (biological replicates Land R) were sampled at two time points, before (1) and after (2) growth stagnation.
Project description:The objective of this study was to decipher the metabolism expressed by Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii CIRM-BIA865 during soy juice fermentation using transcriptomics. The whole genome was sequenced, assembled and annotated. CIRM-BIA865 was then used to ferment soy juice to produce a soy-based yogurt. Samples were analysed in kinetics during fermentation, at pH values of 6.5, 6, 5 and 4.6. RNA from CIRM-BIA865 were extracted and sequenced using paired-end Illumina. Reads were mapped using Bowtie2 on previously obtained genome of CIRM-BIA865. No mismatch were allowed. Reads mapped on CDS were counted using htseqcount.List of differentially expressed (DE) genes between two successive sampling times (determined by pH) were generated using DEseq2 with a modified t-test and a p-value adjusted by Bonferoni inferior to 0.05. Fold changes expressed how many times genes were induced along the fermentations.
Project description:Escherichia coli is a metabolically versatile bacterium that is able to grow in the presence and absence of oxygen. Here, the process of adaptation was investigated by determining changes in transcript profiles when aerobic steady-state cultures were depleted of air. Escherichia coli strain MG1655 was grown in a New Brunswick Scientific Bioflow 1000 fermentation vessels (1.8 l capacity) with culture agitation speed constant at 300 rpm and the temperature maintained at 37 °C. Oxygen levels were monitored using galvanic oxygen electrodes while the pH was maintained at 7.2 ±0.2 by automatic titration with sterile KOH. Evans defined medium was used as the growth medium with glucose (15 mM) as the carbon source with the dilution rate being 0.2 h-1. Aerobic cultures were maintained by sparging the chemostat with air (0.4 l min-1). The switch to micro-aerobic conditions was achieved by switching off the air sparging the culture. After a period of 5, 10, 15 and 60 min exposure to air, cells were harvested directly into RNA Protect (Qiagen) to stabilize RNA before total RNA purification using Qiagen’s Rneasy Midi kit as recommended by manufacturer’s instructions. Keywords: time-course, oxygen-depletion
