Why the need to use different minimal media to grow bacteria?

I am trying to identify bacteria on skin that can utilise lactic acid as carbon source. So i intend to swab skin and then grow bacteria on minimal media supplemented with lactic acid. My question...

What other phohpshorylated components can i look for downstream of activated FAK and P38 MAPK?

I applied some mechanical stresses on cells and discovered that FAK and p38 MAPK are activated by phosphorylation. For the purpose of publishing, i feel that it will be great if i can look for...

Hypoxia induced: No HIF-1a overexpression seen at transcript level but seen a lot of hypoxia and HIF-1A -induced genes?

hi i need advise on the matter i performed RNA-seq after exposing cells to mechanical stress. I had designed a device to deliver this stress to cells. Looking at the RNA-seq data, i see some...

QPCR: analyses involving in-between plates?

hi i am not sure if it is alright to analyse my data this way. So i prepared 3 samples of controls, 3 samples of condition at 1hr exposure, 3 samples of condition at 6hr of exposure. i collected...

Time course gene expression analyses: RNA seq over mass spec?

why when wanting to look at genes that respond at say 1hr (early response), 6hr(intermediate response), 16hr (late response) it is better to look at RNA expression rather than protein? has it got...

RNA expression vs protein expression patterns upon stimulation- are RNAs more dynamic?

Let say if i stimulate a cell at 1 hr and 6hr, the RNA expression upregulated at 1 hr may not be reflected at 6hr, but same protein upregulated at 1 hr will be reflected at 6hr. How do i explain...
