Modification of gene expression patterns during co-culture of methanogens and fermentative bacteria

Status: Pending

Project ID: B18003

Owner: Borrel Guillaume

Unit: Evolutionary Biology of the Microbial Cell

Experiment type: To be determined

Location: 02 - 01 - 01A

Description

Methanogenic archaea are present in the gut of many animals, including human, where their role and ecology remain elusive. Methanogens are dependent on bacteria to obtain growth nutrients and bacteria can change their metabolic output in response to methanogen activity. We aim to study the influence of methanogens and fermentative bacteria on each other by determining changes in gene expression level when they are cultured alone or together.
