Analysis of ATP Synthase Genes within Elizabethkingia anophelis R26

Abstract

This poster begins to analyze five different genes of the ElizabethkingiaanophelisR26 genome that function to perform ATP synthase. Our task was to find the amount of RNA transcribed within the genes we explored and to compare the number of transcripts of a controlled environment to the number of transcripts of two environments with antibiotics present, as well as finding the location of the genes. We found that, in the addition of cefotax, only two changes in transcription were observed, but the transcriptions all increased. However, with the addition of imipenem, four significant changes were observed but the changes in transcription both increased and decreased, giving us inconclusive results.
