Protein S-mycothiolation and real-time redox imaging in Corynebacterium diphtheriae during ROS stress and infection conditions (MYCOTHIOLOME)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2014, Date de fin: 31 mars 2019,
Glutathione serves as the major thiol-redox buffer in the defense against Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in eukaryotes. Firmicutes bacteria utilize as thiol redox buffer bacillithiol (Cys-GlcN-Mal, BSH) and Actinomycetes produce the related redox buffer mycothiol (AcCys-GlcN-Ins, MSH). In eukaryotes, proteins are post-translational modified to S-glutathionylated proteins in response to oxidative st ...

Epigenetic regulation of economically important plant traits (EPITRAITS)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2012, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2016,
The mission of EpiTRAITS is to train young researchers in epigenetic gene regulation and flowering in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and the crop plants maize (Zea mays) and barley (Hordeum vulgare). Epigenetic gene regulation confers stability of gene expression patterns through cell divisions while allowing changes in expression in response to environmental or developmental cues. Although ...

Multidrug resistance and the evolutionary ecology of insect immunity (EvoResIn)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2010, Date de fin: 31 mars 2016,
I will investigate the hypothesis that antimicrobial peptides in insects deal with persistent infections and/or prevent the evolution of resistant bacterial mutants. This will be achieved by looking at two hitherto unrelated areas within a single conceptual and experimental framework: (a) how to prevent the evolution of bacterial resistance against antimicrobials? (b) Why is it adaptive for insec ...

Cyclic-di-GMP: New Concepts in Second Messenger Signaling and Bacterial Biofilm Formation (SecMessBiofilm)
Date du début: 1 juin 2010, Date de fin: 31 mai 2015,
Biofilms represent a multicellular lifestyle of bacteria that causes serious biomedical and technological problems. Biofilm developmental involves an inhibition of motility and an induction of adhesins at the cell surface and culminates in complex structures, in which bacteria are embedded in an extracellular matrix, which renders them resistant against antibiotics and host immune systems. The ove ...

Nanoscale processes in soils: The role of mycorrhizal fungi in aggregation and phosphorus acquisition (NanoSoil)
Date du début: 2 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 11 févr. 2015,
Healthy soils containing sufficient mineral nutrition for plants are the basis for our natural ecosystems and food production. Nevertheless, a great proportion of our European soils are subjected to erosion and are infertile. For a better management, we need to better understand the mechanistic processes happening in soils at a nanoscale. Symbiotic arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are important ...

A mechanistic analysis of the impact of arbuscular mycorrhiza on ammonia oxidizing community dynamics and nitrification potential rates in N-limited soils (AM-nitrification)
Date du début: 3 mai 2012, Date de fin: 2 mai 2014,
Nitrification represents a key N-cycling process because it impacts biome productivity and interferes with the adaptation strategies of plants. Hence, a lot of research has attempted to disentangle the drivers of ammonia oxidation, the rate limiting step of the process. Amongst them a relatively new identified factor that may affect nitrification appears to be arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) status of ...

Managing AM fungi for enhancing C sequester in an agroecosystem affected by salinity (MYCOCARBOSE)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2011, Date de fin: 30 juin 2013,
"According to research priorities within the seventh Framework Programme of the EU, a multidisciplinary R+D project (physics and microbiology of soils, molecular biology of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and biotechnology of mycorrhizal inocula) is proposed aimed to achieving soil rational and sustainable recovery practices for increasing carbon sequestration and stabilization of degraded salt ...

Confronting Social and Environmental Sustainability with Economic Pressure: Balancing Trade-offs by Policy Dismantling? (CONSENSUS)
Date du début: 1 mars 2008, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2011,
"CONSENSUS aims to improve our understanding of trade-offs and synergies between economic, environmental and social aspects of sustainable development. In so doing, the project applies a selective focus in order to shed light on several issues that are of particular relevance in this respect – both in practical and analytical terms. First, the project places particular emphasis on a systematic ana ...
