Project description:This project is a proteomic comparison of Hyphomicrobium sp. MC8b grown with dichloromethane or with methanol. The datasets were obtained using the annotated genome of Hyphomicrobium sp. MC8b.
Project description:Aestuariibacter halophilus strain JC2043, a Gram-negative gammaproteobacterium, is often used as a reference organism for assigning taxonomy within the family Alteromonadaceae. Isolates of this species have also been investigated for compound degradation (e.g., phthalates and oil) and biofilm association. Presented here is the draft genome sequence of A. halophilus strain JC2043.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level in motile strain of Sphingomonas. sp A1 All flagellar genes in motile strain of Sphingomonas. sp A1 are highly transcribed.
Project description:Many Arcobacter spp. are free living and are routinely recovered from marine environments. Arcobacter halophilus was isolated from hypersaline lagoon water in the Hawaiian islands, and it was demonstrated to be an obligate halophile. This study describes the complete whole-genome sequence of the A. halophilus type strain, CCUG 53805 (= LA31BT = ATCC BAA-1022T).
Project description:This project is a proteomic comparison of Microbacterium sp. Viu2A exposed to 10 µM nitrate uranyl versus control condition without uranyl. Three sampling time points (30 min, 4h and 24h) were analyzed. The proteomics datasets were obtained using a protein database derived from the Microbacterium sp. Viu2A complete genome.
Project description:Background: Frankia sp. strains are actinobacteria that form N2-fixing root nodules on angiosperms. Several reference genome sequences are available enabling transcriptome studies in Frankia sp. Genomes from Frankia sp. strains differ markedly in size, a consequence proposed to be associated with a high number of indigenous transposases, more than 200 of which are found in Frankia sp. strain CcI3 used in this study. Because Frankia exhibits a high degree of cell heterogeneity as a consequence of its mycelial growth pattern, its transcriptome is likely to be quite sensitive to culture age. This study focuses on the behavior of the Frankia sp. strain CcI3 transcriptome as a function of nitrogen source and culture age. Results: To study global transcription in Frankia sp. CcI3 grown under different conditions, complete transcriptomes were determined using high throughput RNA deep sequencing. Samples varied by time (five days vs. three days) and by culture conditions (NH4+ added vs. N2 fixing). Assembly of millions of reads revealed more diversity of gene expression between five-day and three-day old cultures than between three day old cultures differing in nitrogen sources. Heat map analysis organized genes into groups that were expressed or repressed under the various conditions compared to median expression values. Twenty-one SNPs common to all three transcriptome samples were detected indicating culture heterogeneity in this slow-growing organism. Significantly higher expression of transposase ORFs was found in the five-day and N2-fixing cultures, suggesting that N starvation and culture aging provide conditions for on-going genome modification. Transposases have previously been proposed to participate in the creating the large number of gene duplication or deletion in host strains. Subsequent RT-qPCR experiments confirmed predicted elevated transposase expression levels indicated by the mRNA-seq data. Conclusions: The overall pattern of gene expression in aging cultures of CcI3 suggests significant cell heterogeneity even during normal growth on ammonia. The detection of abundant transcription of nif (nitrogen fixation) genes likely reflects the presence of anaerobic, N-depleted microsites in the growing mycelium of the culture, and the presence of significantly elevated transposase transcription during starvation indicates the continuing evolution of the Frankia sp. strain CcI3 genome, even in culture, especially under stressed conditions. These studies also sound a cautionary note when comparing the transcriptomes of Frankia grown in root nodules, where cell heterogeneity would be expected to be quite high.
Project description:This project is a proteomic comparison of Microbacterium sp. HG3 exposed to 10 µM nitrate uranyl versus control condition without uranyl.

Project description:Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) is a persistent nitramine explosive with long-lasting properties. Rhodococcus sp. strain DN22 has been discovered as one of the microorganisms capable of RDX degradation. Despite respectable studies on Rhodococcus sp. strain DN22, the proteins participating in RDX degradation (Oxidoreductase and Cytochrome P450) in the strain remain to be fragments. In this study, complete genome of Rhodococcus sp. strain DN22 was sequenced and analyzed, and the entire sequences of the two genes encoding Oxidoreductase and Cytochrome P450 in Rhodococcus sp. strain DN22 were predicted, which were validated through proteomic data. Besides, despite the identification of certain chemical substances as proposed characterized degradation intermediates of RDX, few studies have investigated the physiological changes and metabolic pathways occurring within Rhodococcus sp. cells when treated with RDX, particularly through the use of mass spectrometry-based omics. Hence, proteomics and metabolomics of Rhodococcus sp. strain DN22 were performed and analyzed with the presence or absence of RDX in the medium. A total of 3186 protein groups were identified and quantified between the two groups, with 117 proteins being significantly differentially expressed proteins. A total of 1056 metabolites were identified after merging positive and negative ion modes, among which 131 metabolites were significantly differential. Through the combined analysis of differential proteomics and metabolomics, several KEGG pathways, including two-component system, ABC transporters, alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism, arginine biosynthesis, purine metabolism, nitrogen metabolism, and phosphotransferase system (PTS) were found to be significantly enriched. We expect that our investigation will expand the acquaintance of Rhodococcus sp. strain DN22, and the knowledge of microbial degradation.
