Project description:Nitrate-reducing iron(II)-oxidizing bacteria are widespread in the environment contribute to nitrate removal and influence the fate of the greenhouse gases nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide. The autotrophic growth of nitrate-reducing iron(II)-oxidizing bacteria is rarely investigated and poorly understood. The most prominent model system for this type of studies is enrichment culture KS, which originates from a freshwater sediment in Bremen, Germany. To gain insights in the metabolism of nitrate reduction coupled to iron(II) oxidation under in the absence of organic carbon and oxygen limited conditions, we performed metagenomic, metatranscriptomic and metaproteomic analyses of culture KS. Raw sequencing data of 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing, shotgun metagenomics (short reads: Illumina; long reads: Oxford Nanopore Technologies), metagenome assembly, raw sequencing data of shotgun metatranscriptomes (2 conditions, triplicates) can be found at SRA in https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/PRJNA682552. This dataset contains proteomics data for 2 conditions (heterotrophic and autotrophic growth conditions) in triplicates.
Project description:Nitrate-reducing iron(II)-oxidizing (NDFO) bacteria are widespread in the environment contribute to nitrate removal and influence the fate of the greenhouse gases nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide. The autotrophic growth of nitrate-reducing iron(II)-oxidizing bacteria is rarely investigated and poorly understood. The most prominent model system for this type of studies is enrichment culture KS, which originates from a freshwater sediment in Bremen, Germany. A second NDFO culture, culture BP, was obtained with a sample taken in 2015 at the same pond and cultured in a similar way. To gain insights in the metabolism of nitrate reduction coupled to iron(II) oxidation under in the absence of organic carbon and oxygen limited conditions, we performed metagenomic, metatranscriptomic and metaproteomic analyses of culture BP. Raw sequencing data of 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing (V4 region with Illumina and near full-length with PacBio), shotgun metagenomics, metagenome assembly, raw sequencing data of shotgun metatranscriptomes (2 conditions, triplicates) can be found at SRA in https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/PRJNA693457. This dataset contains proteomics data for 2 conditions in triplicates. Samples R23, R24, and R25 are grown in autotrophic conditions, samples R26, R27, and R28 in heterotrophic conditions.
Project description:DNA microarray analysis was employed to investigate the transcriptome response to nitric oxide in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We focused on the role played by the nitric oxide-response regulators DNR and FhpR and an oxygen-response regulator ANR in the response. The transcriptome profiles of the P. aeruginosa strains before and after exposure to nitric oxide under the microaerobic conditions were analyzed. Wild type, its anr, dnr, and fhpR mutants, and the anr mutant that express dnr were used for the analyses. Pseudomonas aeruginosa wild type (PAO1ut), anr mutant (RManr), dnr mutant (RMdnr), anr mutant that constitutively expresses DNR (RManrEXdnr), and fhpR mutant (PDM2665) were cultivated microaerobically in LB in 1-liter jar fermenter. When optical density at 600 nm reached 0.3, nitric oxide-saturated water was added to the medium (final nitric oxide concentration was 20 micro-M). RNA was isolated from a 10 ml aliquot of the culture prior to the addition of nitric oxide and at 5 min after the addition. The experiment was performed in duplicate independent cultures.
Project description:The goal of this study was to measure the effects of nitric oxide exposure (using DETA NONOate as a nitric oxide donor) on transcription in Caulobacter. Untreated Caulobacter crescentus were grown to a density of 0.3 (at OD660) in PYE medium (pH 7) in rolled culture tubes. DETA-NONOate treated Caulobacter crescentus were grown to a density of 0.3 (at OD660), and then treated with 100 mM DETA NONOate for 30 minutes.
