Studying microbial community diversities by developing high-throughput experimental techniques and computational tools
(2018-12)
Since the advent of high-throughput technologies, the understanding of microbial biodiversity has rapidly transformed. Amplicon sequencing of phylogenetic makers, especially 16S rRNA genes has now become a well-adopted ...
Transcriptional Adaptation of Enterococcus faecalis within Macrophages and the Role of PerA in Virulence
(2011)
The intestinal ecosystem is comprised of bacteria that are both beneficial and detrimental to human health. The opportunistic pathogens residing within the gastrointestinal tract typically function as commensal members ...
Microbial Ecology of Coastal Ecosystems: Investigations of the Genetic Potential for Anaerobic Hydrocarbon Transformation and the Response to Hydrocarbon Exposure
(2017-04-24)
Microbial-mediated hydrocarbon transformation plays a vital role in the attenuation of natural and anthropogenic-sourced petroleum contamination in the environment, particularly in marine systems. Indigenous microbial ...
THE HUMAN GASTROINTESTINAL MICROBIOME: INSIGHTS INTO THE MICROBIAL COMMUNITY STRUCTURE AND ANTIBIOTIC RESISTOME
(2017)
The human gastrointestinal microbiome consists of approximately 10-100 trillion symbiotic microbial cells. Recent advances of molecular based approaches have enhanced the ease and rapidity with which the microbial community ...
Enzyme systems involved in interspecies hydrogen and formate transfer between syntrophic fatty and aromatic acid degraders and Methanospirillum hungatei
(2013)
The oxidation of either the fatty acid butyrate or the aromatic acid benzoate is essential for the efficient degradation of complex organic material to methane because they are central intermediates. The oxidation of ...
RESPONSES OF TOTAL AND ACTIVE SOIL MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES TO CLIMATE WARMING
(2019-12)
As illustrated by accumulating scientific evidence, unconscionable anthropogenic activities since industrialization such as intensive land utilization and accumulation of various greenhouse gases due to fossil fuel combustion ...
DIAGNOSTIC ANALYSIS OF TERRESTRIAL GROSS PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY USING REMOTE SENSING AND IN SITU OBSERVATIONS
(2017-12)
Vegetation play a critical role in the interactions between atmosphere and biosphere. CO2 fixed by plants through photosynthesis process at ecosystem scale is termed as gross primary production (GPP). It is also the first ...
ENHANCING ALCOHOL PRODUCTION IN CLOSTRIDIUM CARBOXIDIVORANS STRAIN P7T AND THE ROLE OF TANDEM ADH GENES
(2014)
Clostridium carboxidivorans P7 is one of three microbial catalysts capable of fermenting synthesis gas (mainly CO, CO2 and H2) to produce the liquid biofuels ethanol and butanol. Gasification of feedstocks to produce ...
MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF THE ARABIDOPSIS NUCLEAR FACTOR-Y TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR FAMILY
(2014-05-09)
NUCLEAR FACTOR-Y (NF-Y) transcription factors, composed of three independent families: NF-YA, NF-YB, and NF-YC, have greatly expanded in plants in comparison to animals. For example, while humans have only one member of ...
THE ROLES AND MECHANISTIC FUNCTIONS OF NUCLEAR FACTOR Y TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS IN PLANTS
(2019-05)
Transcriptional regulation is a central component of biology whose importance cannot be overstated. From basal transcription of genes necessary for the physical make-up of a cell, to differential gene expression in response ...
