The effect of varying oxygen availabilty on Geobacillus

In this practical we will be investigating the the potential effects of limiting oxygen availability to a model of the organism Geobacillus thermoglucosidasius described here. In order to do this, we will be using the constraint scanning approach described in lecture 7. Geobacillus is a facultative aerobe this has been demonstrated experimentally and in the paper linked above we investigated aerobic and anaerobic metabolism. What we did not investigate is the situation in which oxygen is reduced but not completely absent, so, as well as being a new practical, this is also a new investigation - results generated here will be genuinely new - no-one will ever have seen them before!
