A complete collection of x chromosome genes: an important tool for systematic expression studies and disease gene identification

Objectif

Most nitroaromatic compounds in the biosphere are xenobiotics that result from the manufacture of explosives, dyes, drugs and solvents. The worldwide annual production of DNTs and TNT is about 10³ metric tons. These compounds are toxic for prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and they are also mutagenic; therefore, there is an urgent need for their removal from contaminated sites. This proposal is based on pure cultures and a consortium of strains that degrade DNTs and TNT, and it brings together academic research groups with different backgrounds (molecular biology, biochemistry, engineering, phytoremediation) and companies that operate in situ bioremediation. This combination of expertise will result in the elucidation of the molecular basis for the degeneration of DNTs and TNT, and in innovative treatments for the removal of these toxic compounds.
