Pre-class mode "flipped" again: Making videos instead of just watching them.

"Flipped classroom" has subverted the traditional classroom teaching model and is believed to have a positive impact on knowledge acquisition and skill training for higher education students. The pre-class learning phase is considered a key factor in the success of flipped classrooms. However, currently, the pre-class learning phase of flipped classrooms mainly relies on video watching, which makes students passive receivers.

Transcriptome profiling of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris grown in minimal medium MMX and rich medium NYG.

Xanthomonas campestris pathovar campestris (Xcc) is the causal agent of black rot disease in cruciferous plants worldwide. Although the complete genomes of several Xcc strains have been determined, the gene expression and regulation mechanisms in this pathogen are far from clear. In this work, transcriptome profiling of Xcc 8004 grown in MMX medium (minimal medium for Xanthomonas campestris) and NYG medium (peptone yeast glycerol medium) were investigated by RNA-Seq.
