Project description:Pteris cretica L var. nervosa is one of the dominent fern species at antimony mining area where arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can be found as a symbiosis. The effect of AMF on fern exposed to long-term excessive Sb was pooly understood. The project applied this fern co-cultivting with or withour AMF under different concentration of Sb in soil for charicterising Sb phytomediation ability of it along with the effect by AMF symbiosis.

Project description:Fungal necromass in soil represents the stable carbon pools. While fungi are known to decompose fungal necromass, how fungi decomopose melanin, remains poorly understood. Recently, Trichoderma species was found to be one of the most commonly associated fungi in soil, we have used a relevant fungal species, Trichoderma reesei, to characterized Genes involved in the decomposition of melanized and non-melanized necromass from Hyaloscypha bicolor.
Project description:ReeS, previously named as CPE1512, was originally annotated as the only hybrid sensor histidine kinase/response regulator in Clostridium perfringens. Further evidence suggests that ReeS is more likely to function as an orphan sensor histidine kinase. A reeS deletion mutant was constructed and the transcriptome analysed using microarrays. Total RNA was isolated from the reeS mutant and the wild-type control cells during exponential phase growth. Gene expression levels were compared between the reeS mutant and wild-type strain 13
