Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE25572: Depolymerization of plant cell wall glycans by symbiotic human gut bacteria (Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron) GSE25575: Depolymerization of plant cell wall glycans by symbiotic human gut bacteria (Bacteroides ovatus) Refer to individual Series
Project description:In order to understand host responses to symbiont strains with and without an intact symbiotic type 6 secretion system, we infected Dictyostelium discoideum with wildtype vs. ∆tssH Paraburkholderia bonniea and collected samples in a time series to capture the early stages of symbiotic association.
Project description:A transcriptomic analysis of bacteroids isolated from soybean plants inoculated with B. japonicum USDA 110, relative to cells cultured in HM-arabinose medium was performed and the results combined with two other transcriptomic analyses to form a reiterated pool of transcripts that define genes essential for symbiotic nitrogen fixation.
Project description:Rhizobia are soil bacteria that can enter into complex symbiotic relationships with legumes, where rhizobia induce the formation of nodules on the plant root. Inside nodules, rhizobia differentiate into nitrogen-fixing bacteroids that reduce atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, secreting it to the plant host in exchange for carbon. During the transition from free-living bacteria to bacteroids, rhizobial metabolism undergoes major changes. To investigate the metabolism of bacteroids and contrast it with the free-living state, we quantified the proteome of unlabelled bacteroids relative to 15N-labelled free-living rhizobia. The data were used to build a core metabolic model of pea bacteroids for the strain Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae 3841.
Project description:97 triple negative tumors were selected from the fresh-frozen tissue bank of the Netherlands Cancer Institute and gene expression profiles were generated using 35K oligonucleotide microarrays. Human breast carcinomas were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen within one hour after surgery and stored in the fresh-frozen tissue bank of the Netherlands Cancer Institute. RNA from a pool of more than 100 unselected fresh frozen breast carcinomas were isolated and pooled to form the reference to which each individual breast carcinoma is hybridized.
