Projects that do not fall under current programmes.

The MycoSynVac project AIMS at using cutting-edge synthetic biology methodologies to engineer Mycoplasma pneumoniae as a universal chassis for vaccination. Designing a universal Mycoplasma chassis that can be deployed as single- or multi-vaccine in a range of animal hosts. Annually, infections caused by Mycoplasma species in poultry, cows, and pigs result in multimillion Euro losses in the USA and Europe. There is no effective vaccination against many Mycoplasmas that infect pets, humans and farm ...

1. To develop a whole-cell dynamic model framework of the metabolism of M. pneumoniae
2. To build upon M. pneumoniae models to develop a genome-scale, constraint-based model of M. hyopneumoniae for vaccine optimization
3. To deploy the metabolic model(s) to: 1) the rational design and optimization of the vaccine chassis; 2) aid the development of a higher-growth rate chassis; 3) assist the development of a nutrient optimized a serum-free growth medium and; 4) assess, at genome scale, the metabolic ...

Validation of the core model of glycolysis, pyruvate metabolism and ATPase reaction using OE, KO mutant samples and perturbation samples

Metabolic control analysis: Local control coefficients for 40 independent samples based on 100x sampling from the measurement distribution Global control analysis based on 100.000 Latin Hypercube sampling from the parameter search range (0.01-100 for Km values and 0.001-1000 for Vmax values)
