    Novel regulators controlling bacterial survival under stress

    50000403v1613
    Promoter: Jan Michiels


    Description: Transition from fast-growing to non-growing conditions is pivotal in the life cycle of bacteria and essential for successful adaptation to diverse environments. In the life cycle of rhizobia, nitrogen-fixing bacteria that elicit nodules on the roots of their leguminous host plants, these transitions are also crucial for adaptation to the host and survival in the soil. Inside the root nodules, the bacteria differentiate into non-growing bacteroids that convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia. Our global view on the way gene expression affects the differentiation process and the maintenance of the bacteroid state is still far from complete. Moreover, little is known about factors contributing to survival of rhizobia in free-living conditions.
    Previously, we showed the rel gene of Rhizobium etli to be crucial for the bacterium’s adaptation to symbiotic and free-living non-growing conditions. To identify target genes of R. etli rel and, in general, mechanisms and genes that regulate the adaptation to non-growing conditions, a R. etli transcriptomics analysis was recently carried out within the CMPG-SPI group using tiling microarrays. In this research proposal, we intend to elucidate the role of several regulators, identified based on our tiling array data, in the survival of the bacteria under free-living and symbiotic conditions. We will carry out a detailed phenotypical analysis of the regulatory mutants, complemented with a target analysis of a single regulator, to be selected during the course of this project. In this way, we will lay the foundation for a better understanding of the physiology of growing and non-growing states and factors determining the transitions between them.
    The regulators that were selected based belong to five different classes: transcriptional regulators, sigma factors, proteins involved in posttranslational modifications and proteins related to the production of a secondary messenger, c-di-GMP. Furthermore, a gene was selected that encodes a small non-coding RNA. Preliminary experiments show that mutation of at least two of these regulators leads to a strong decrease in symbiotic nitrogen fixation, decreased survival in the stationary phase and/or increased sensitivity to envelope stress, lending support to the approach proposed here.
    Combining the various types of data generated in the experiments will allow 1/ the construction of a model for R. etli in which the selected regulator is linked to its target genes and associated phenotypes with regard to survival in the non-growing state ex planta; 2/ linking these data to symbiotic indicators, which will pinpoint survival processes of the intracellular bacteroids inside the plant cell; 3/ extrapolation of the model or parts thereof to other á-proteobacteria, provided that the key elements are conserved.

    Exploring the potential of probiotics in disease management of shrimp production in Viet Nam. (IRO scholarship)

    50000403v1614
    Promoter: Jos Vanderleyden


    Description: Viral and bacterial epizootics are considered as major limiting factor and constraints for the successful development and continuation of shrimp aquaculture production in terms of quality,quantity and regularity. Broad spectrum antibiotics have extensively been used as a means of reactive disease management strategy in aquaculture facilities. However, excessive antibiotic use can lead to the emergence of bacterial resistance.

    It has been reported that both health and survival of organisms in
    intensive rearing systems could be improved substantially by manipulating the gut / environmental microbiota with probiotic microorganisms and/or prebiotics,
    which can be added to the diet and/or to the environment to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract of the animal as well as in the detritivorous microbes in the pond bottom. The use of probiotics for disease prevention and improved nutrition in aquaculture is becoming increasingly popular due to an increasing demand for environment-friendly aquaculture.

    Shrimp cultivation is one of the biggest farming industries in Viet Nam, especially in the Mekong Delta. Cultivating of shrimp is now facing a lot of problems due to infection diseases. Those diseases can be more or less controlled by using antibiotic treatments. However, the worries of selecting antibiotic resistant pathogens when applying antibiotics for a long time as well as influences to human health are the major public concerns. The latter can lead to losing exporting market and thus cause dramatic economic loss. An alternative way to interfere with pathogenesis is to stimulate the immune responses of shrimps. This prevention approach can be achieved by either vaccination or utilizing of probiotics. The latter use has received more and more attention in the past three years due to its advantages in environmental friendliness and other positive effects. It has been proposed that probiotics can help in stimulating shrimps¡¦ immune systems as well as improving shrimp¡¦s growth. In Viet Nam, application of probiotics on aquaculture has received more and more attention. However, information about probiotics application on shrimp cultivation is scanty and there has not been any comprehensive study to evaluate the effects of probiotics isolated from shrimp to the shrimp pond.

    OVERALL OBJECTIVE
    With this project, we aim to isolate possible probiotics from black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon and evaluate their effects on shrimp growth, especially in disease management. Information from this study can help in improving the quality of shrimp produced and contribute to develop a sustainable shrimp production industry.

    PROJECT OUTLINE
    The Ph.D project consists of four work packages (WP).
    WP 1: Isolation and identification of lactic acid bacteria from shrimp
    Samples will be collected from local shrimp farms, whereby the farmers will also be asked to fill out a questionaire aiming to obtain information on the past and current farmers¡¦ practices to control bacterial diseases. We expect to include a large number of shrimp farms. Bacterial isolation is initially biased towards Lactobacillus species as this species is well known for its probiotic activity in terrestrial systems and is a major focus of research at the Centre of Microbial and Plant Genetics. Possibly, the screening will be extended to more genera of the lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Strains plated out from shrimp gut (or from shrimp in general) will be preliminarily tested for their antagonistic effects against shrimp pathogens (Vibrio for example). Lactobacillus sp. and LAB in general, will be isolated by putting the bacteria on selective medium.

    WP 2: Structural and functional characterization of the isolated probiotic strains
    Structural: the isloated strains will be taxonomically characterized based on 16S rDNA sequencing. This will allow identification to the species level.
    Functional: a recently developed functional gene array for LAB will be used. This will allow us to make a selection of strains that potentially will perform best in relation to probiotic characteristics.

    WP 3: Determining mode of action in vitro
    The main screening in vitro is directed towards antimicrobial activity of the selected lactic acid bacteria for which one or two well established protocols to show antagonism towards the main shrimp intestinal pathogens (Vibrio and Aeromonas species) will be used. In addition, as Vibrio and Aeromonas species are well known for their quorum sensing systems, we will also test whether the isolated probiont strains can interfere with these QS systems (AI-2 type) thereby affecting also their pathogenicity.

    WP 4: Immunomodulatory activity of isolated probiotics
    Probiotic Lactobacillus strains are known to interact with the immune system of terrestrial organisms (human, murine, avian). Indirectly, this results in some cases in better protection against pathogenic bacteria. We will set up an in vivo system to study the immunomodulatory effect of the selected LAB in shrimp (and possibly related aquatic organisms that can be easily cultured in lab scale conditions). Immunomodulatory activities will be tested by PCR and ELISA techniques. In addition, the following parameters will be monitored: haemocyte counts, PO activity, SOD activity and clearance efficiency in challenging tests.

    Lastly, follow-up activities are also planned:
    ƒ{Investigating gastrointestinal microbiota composition of adult shrimps previously dieted with probiotics
    ƒ{Investigating growth and immune status against pathogens at different time points after probiotic administration
    ƒ{Tracking effects of probiotics on subsequent shrimp larvae

    Genetic Variation for Nitrogen Fixation, Micronutrient Density and Influence of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria and Fertilizers on common Bean (IRO scholarship)

    50000403v1625
    Promoter: Jos Vanderleyden


    Description: Evidence is growing that our global food systems are failing to deliver adequate quantities of healthy, nutritionally balanced food especially to under-privileged people globally. The consequences are poor human health, declining productivity and poor livelihoods. This has contributed to stagnating national development efforts in many developing nations. Protein and micronutrient deficiencies in local diets are widespread problems in Africa. The problems are now recognized as one of the most serious health challenges facing vast sectors of Africa’s population; particularly resource-poor women and children. The most deficient nutrients include iron and zinc. Although food fortification and supplementation are being implemented as strategies to reduce micronutrient malnutrition, the two strategies are limited in coverage because of heavy costs involved and are not sustainable. Natural fortification of the common bean especially through agronomic or soil management approaches is cheaper, and is a more effective and sustainable approach since the crop is one of the principal grain legumes grown by small-scale, resource poor farmers for food and sale in many countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Africa is the second most important bean-producing region of the tropics after Latin America, where the crop originated. Common beans are world’s second most important legumes after soybeans. Beans are an important item in the diet because they are relatively inexpensive and highly nutritious; hence important to the poor as a source of dietary protein and minerals. They are rich in protein (20-25%), phosphorus, iron and vitamin B1. Beans are therefore a highly nutritious and a low-cost protein food. Given the widespread use of common beans worldwide, efforts to improve their protein, iron and zinc contents may benefit a great many people. Beans are primarily grown by small-scale, resource-poor farmers, mainly intercropped with maize, coffee, bananas, sorghum, millet, potatoes and / or cassava. Increasing productivity of beans in a sustainable manner by the small-scale and resource-poor farmers is an urgent and first priority. In addition, current bean lines in use have a suboptimal nutritional value, which has to be improved. Ways in which agriculture can contribute to finding sustainable solutions to food system failures should be considered through holistic food-based system approaches, thereby closely linking agricultural production to improving human health, livelihood and well-being. Such action will stimulate support for agricultural research in many developed countries because it addresses consumer issues as well as agricultural production issues. A concerted effort of testing various agricultural practices in their capacity to increase micronutrient density in staple foods grown in the field is required. Nitrogen has to be added to the soil either through industrial nitrogen fertilizers, or by transformation of atmospheric nitrogen into forms which plants can take up for protein synthesis. This latter form known as Biological Nitrogen Fixation (BNF) is accomplished by free living and symbiotic microorganisms endowed with the enzyme nitrogenase. It is not only economically sound, but also environmentally more acceptable than industrial N sources. The use of industrial N source is extensive in developed countries and minimal to non-existent in the developing world. Deficiency of soil nitrogen is the most serious constraint to bean production in Africa, with estimated losses of more than 389,900 t per year. At the same time, BNF technology is very advanced in developed countries while this vast potential has gone largely untapped in the developing countries, especially in the African continent. In fact several African countries do not undertake any BNF improvement work at all. The amount of biologically fixed nitrogen by legumes varies a great deal depending on the rhizobium strain, the cultivar of the host and the environmental conditions. However, the capacity of a legume to nodulate and fix nitrogen is genetically determined. This study aims at assessing the possibility of increasing iron and zinc concentrations in edible portions of beans as a suitable long-term solution, low-cost and sustainable option in reducing the effects of poor health caused by protein and micronutrient malnutrition among the poor especially in developing countries such as Kenya, and improving food security, production and quality of life. The study also seeks to assess variation in biological nitrogen fixation in bean genotypes and identify lines combining high mineral density with enhanced nitrogen fixation.
    Overall objective
    To determine the effect of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and their interactions with applied molybdenum, basal nitrogen, phosphorus fertilization and environmental or soil-related factors on the genetic variation for N2 fixation and micronutrient concentration in common bean genotypes.
    Specific objectives
    1.Screen and characterize germplasm (collection including 1500 lines) for genetic variation in N2 fixation capacity and micronutrient concentration among the bush and climbing bean genotypes.
    2.Identify and characterize local PGPR and determine their effect on N2 fixation and micronutrient concentration in a limited number of screened bean genotypes.
    3.Determine the effect of available three commercial rhizobia strains on N2 fixation and micronutrient concentration in the screened bean genotypes.
    4.Determine the effect of the interactions between the three commercial rhizobia strains x Mo, basal N and P on N2 fixation and micronutrient concentration.
    5.Assess the influence of environment, moisture status, soil type and nutrient status on N2 fixation and micronutrient concentration.
    6.Identify bush and climbing bean genotypes combining high N2 fixation capacity and micronutrient concentration.
    7.Determine the mechanisms of uptake, mobilization and accumulation of iron and zinc in edible portions of beans from the growing media in the greenhouse.
    8.Validate the performance of good N2 fixers and micronutrient-rich genotypes under a range of farmer conditions and in replicated trials across agro-ecological zones in Kenya.

    Expected output:
    1.Information on the genetic variation in nitrogen fixation capacity and micronutrient oncentration of the nutribean germplasm nursery will be obtained.
    2.The role of the local PGPR in nitrogen fixation capacity and micronutrient concentration of the screened bush and climbing bean genotypes will be known.
    3.The role of the three commercial rhizobia strains and their interactions with molybdenum, basal nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer on the nitrogen fixation and nutritional quality of edible portions of beans will be established and documented.
    4.A better understanding of the interactions between the studied bean genotypes and the mentioned soil fertility management practices under local (farmer) conditions will be established.
    5.Information on the agronomic performance and yield of beans in the study sites, influence of environment, moisture status, soil type and fertility status will be generated, in relation with the environmental and soil data obtained from the respective sites.
    6.Bean genotypes combining (1) higher nitrogen fixation capacity and (2) seed and leaf iron and zinc concentrations will be known. This will permit the selection of combinations of bean genotypes, microbial inocula and soil fertility management practices leading to improved nitrogen fixation, nutritional value and yield of beans.
    7.The mechanisms of uptake, mobilization and accumulation of iron and zinc in edible portions of beans will be known and documented.
    8.Performance of good nitrogen-fixers and micro nutrient-rich bean genotypes under farmer conditions and national performance trials across agro-ecological zones in Kenya will be validated.

    Intra-/transgenic fungus resistance improvement of banana (IRO-scholarship)

    50000403v1641
    Promoter: Bruno Cammue


    Description: This PhD proposal focuses on the characterization of banana genes that are differentially expressed under infection by the devastating fungus Mycosphaerella fijiensis, also called Black Sigatoka, in a resistant cultivar as discovered by transcriptomics. Two candidate genes were already back-transformed into banana for overexpression under control of a constitutive promoter and regeneration of transgenic lines is ongoing. Another candidate gene has also been cloned and isolation of the full coding sequence of a fourth candidate gene is in progress. Confirmation of the differential regulation of these candidate genes by real time Q-RT-PCR in independent infection experiments encompassing M. fijiensis resistant and susceptible cultivars will be completed. Besides single gene transfer, co-expression of the candidate genes will be performed using different highly active heterologous promoters. Resistance against M. fijiensis and Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense race 4 causing Fusarium wilt (for which no resistance and control currently exists) will be evaluated in bioassays. These experiments constitute a first step towards intragenic engineering of banana for fungus resistance, a novel approach in banana improvement. Since the promoter is the main factor in gene regulation and a powerful tool for controlled intra-/transgene expression, we anticipate the isolation of the four candidate promoter regions and the assessment of their strength and activity pattern via reporter gene analyses in transgenic cultures and plants. Finally, aiming at optimizing intra-/transgene expression MARs (Matrix Attachment Regions) technology will also be tested in banana.

    New Zealand; PhD Studentship in the Advanced Fungal Technologies
    We invite applications for a PhD studentship in the Advanced Fungal Technologies team of AgResearch, New Zealand’s largest Crown Research Institute.
    Grasslands Campus
    Ref: AGR1024
    The studentship will be based at the Grasslands Campus in Palmerston North and will be supervised in close collaboration between AgResearch and the Institute of Molecular BioSciences at Massey University. The position would provide you with the opportunity to travel to Edinburgh.

    The position has been created as part of a Marsden-funded programme to investigate a unique mechanism of fungal growth. Fungi normally grow at the tips of their filaments, however a recent discovery in AgResearch has shown that fungal endophytes of grasses colonise the host plant by growing along the length of the filament (intercalary growth). Hyphae of Epichloë endophytes are firmly attached to grass cells, and when host cells increase in size during growth, hyphae accommodate increases in plant cell length by undergoing intercalary extension. The aim of this PhD project is to investigate two signalling pathways through which fungal endophytes might sense mechanical stress and stimulate an intercalary growth response. This work will be integrated into existing programmes that are using powerful fluorescence microscopy techniques to track the dynamic movements of the fungal cytoskeleton, and the progression of vesicles containing cell wall building cargo to the growing intercalary cell wall.
    The Advanced Fungal Technologies team consists of scientists, postdoctoral fellows and technicians. Along with Massey University this team is able to offer significant support and supervision. In addition, the PhD project is a collaboration between New Zealand researchers and scientists in the Universities of Edinburgh and Aberdeen.
    Candidates should have a first or upper second class degree in the biological sciences, plus an Honours degree or MSc with a strong molecular biology component. Experience in fungal molecular biology will be an advantage.
    The studentship provides a stipend of $25,000.00 per annum plus course fees for the 3-year Ph.D. programme. Some help with relocation expenses will be available.
    The deadline for applications is 11 December 2009. Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Christine Voisey (christine.voisey@agresearch.co.nz) for further information; please attach a CV. The studentship will be awarded competitively following short-listing and interviews, and would be expected to be taken up in March 2010 if possible.

    گاهی وقت ها آگاهی ها از یک دانشکده است ولی رشته مورد نیاز از آن دانشکده نیست اگر به شرایط کاندیدا ها توجه کنید نوشته است كه "Candidates should have a first or upper second class degree in the biological sciences, plus an Honours degree or MSc "with a strong molecular biology component.
    و همانطور كه zari نیز اشاره نمودند این انجمن مربوط به بیولوژی هم است و میتوان آن را اعلام نمود.
    من معمولا متن آگهی ها را چک می کنم.حتی بعضی وقتها یک سری آگهی می بینم که چون نمی دونم چه رشته است در فروم نمی آورم.البته ممکنه گاهی وقتها یک اشتباهی هم پیش بیاید.
    از تذکر شما متشکرم.
