  • Chromatophores as cell-based biosensors for the detection of chemically and biologically toxic substances

    Creator:
    Dukovcic, Stephanie R.
    Abstract:
    Cell-based biosensors are function-based detectors that use the physiological response of a living cell to sense biologically stimulating agents. This emerging technology extends the application of current detection methods by reporting on the toxicity of a sample and the potential to cause disease. Previously, Betta splendens erythrophores have been described...

  • Bacterial pathogens and associated toxins involved in erythrophore cell aggregation

    Creator:
    Hutchison, Janine R.
    Abstract:
    Current detection methods for bacterial contamination rely on structure based detection of proteins and nucleic acids. While these methods are easy to use and reliable, they cannot evaluate the toxicity of a sample and the potential to cause disease. Previously, erythrophore cells derived from Betta splendens had been suggested as...

  • Regulation of exopolysaccharide synthesis

    Creator:
    Dierksen, Karen P.
    Abstract:
    Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris Ropy 352 and L. lactis subsp. cremoris Hollandicus produce an exopolysaccharide (EPS) that imparts commercially desirable textural and rheological properties to fermented milk products. This ropy phenotype is expressed under specific environmental conditions. A mucoid EPS phenotype, also expressed under specific environmental conditions, but not involved...
