Analysis of Central Carbon Metabolism of Sulfolobus solfataricus under varying temperature

SysMO is a European transnational funding and research initiative on "Systems Biology of Microorganisms".

The goal pursued by SysMO was to record and describe the dynamic molecular processes going on in unicellular microorganisms in a comprehensive way and to present these processes in the form of computerized mathematical models.

Systems biology will raise biomedical and biotechnological research to a new quality level and contribute markedly to progress in understanding. Pooling European research ...

Silicon cell model for the central carbohydrate metabolism of the archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus under temperature variation

The pilot experiment has been set up in order to develop uniform SOPs for the Sulfosys consortium. It comprises proteomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics as well as enzymatic essays. Cells for all the members of the consortium have been obtained from the same batch fermentations according to fermentation SOP of Sulfosys. The pilot resulted in creating a procedures for all the techniques used in consortium.

The pilot experiment was conducted in order to create SOPs and to gain insight in transcriptome of cells grown at 70 and 80C

Samples obtained form the central fermentation facility of Sulfosys have been compared using iTRAQ (isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantification). A pilot experiment resulted in creation of SOP and initial data on cells grown at 70 and 80C

In order to get uniform data from all geographically separated partners in a consortium, central fermentation facility has been set-up. Based on empirical data, standard procedures for growing S. solfataricus cells have been developed.

Based on initial cell material, series of SOPs connected with assays of enzymes involved in Central Carbon Metabolism of S. solfataricus have been developed.

Pilot experiment concerning metabolome of S. solfataricus was conducted in order to acquire SOPs regarding the technique and gain insight on differences in metabolite concentrations at 70 and 80C

SOPs related with medium composition, fermentation and stocking of S. solfataricus.

Standard procedure regarding intracellular metabolome analysis using GC-MS.

Protocol for RNA isolation, cDNA synthesis and labeling and hybridization and cleanup of Sulfolobus solfataricus microarray

Standard operating procedures regarding iTraq based proteomics.
