Transcription of carboxysomegenes by Thiomicrospiracrunogena
Thiomicrospiras inhabit an erratic habitat JANNASCH (H.W.), WIRSEN (C.O.), NELSON (D.C.) and ROBERTSON (L.A.): Thiomicrospiracrunogena sp. nov., a colorless, sulfur-oxidizing bacterium from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol., 1985, 35, 422-424.
One possible vacuum ‘mechanism’ HCO3- HCO3- HCO3- CA CO2 CO2 Ru bisco biomass
Measurement steps and details • Measure gene transcription via RT-PCR • Isolate RNA from T. crunogena • High DIC • Low DIC • Set up RT-PCR reaction • More actively transcribed genes will result in a band earlier than less actively transcribed ones.
sqRT-PCR • Set up RT-PCR • High DIC • +/- RT • Low DIC • +/- RT • Remove samples after: • 5 cycles • 10 • 15 • 20 • Et cetera
