Microbiology of basalts targeted for deep geological carbon sequestration : field observations and laboratory experiments

Creator:: Lavalleur, Heather J.
Abstract:: With rising concentrations of CO₂ in the Earth's atmosphere causing concern about climate change, many solutions are being presented to decrease emissions. One of the proposed solutions is to sequester excess CO₂ in geological formations such as basalt. The deep subsurface is known to harbor much of the microbial biomass...

Chemical and Genetic Investigations of Toxic Freshwater Cyanobacterial Blooms for Improved Monitoring and Understanding of Lake Ecology

Creator:: Collart, Lindsay P.
Abstract:: Toxin production by cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) in freshwater systems has lasting ecological and human impacts. Nutrients, light availability, hydrology, and microbial community composition impact the frequency and intensity of toxic cyanoHABs. Climate change will exacerbate toxic cyanoHABs, making real time and predictive monitoring a vital tool for managing...

Studies on the inhibition of food-borne pathogens and spoilage bacteria by lactic acid starter cultures

Creator:: Daly, Charles
Abstract:: The ability of Streptococcus diacetilactis to inhibit a variety of food-borne pathogens and spoilage organisms in milk and broth cultures was demonstrated. Test organisms inhibited included Pseudomonas and Alcaligenes species, Eschericia coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium perfringens and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. In general, approximately 99.0% and 99.9% inhibition was observed in...

An investigation of carbon and nitrogen metabolism through a genomic analysis of the genus Nitrobacter

Creator:: Starkenburg, Shawn R.
Abstract:: The chemolithoautotrophic nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) participate in the biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen by catalyzing and conserving energy from the oxidation of nitrite (NO₂-) to nitrate (NO₃-) via a nitrite oxidoreductase (NXR). The main objective of this work was to comparatively annotate and analyze the genome sequences of Nitrobacter winogradskyi...

Phylogeny of fish-infecting Calyptospora species (Apicomplexa: Eimeriorina)

Creator:: Whipps, Christopher M., Fournie, John W., Morrison, David A., Azevedo, Carlos, Matos, Edilson, Thebo, Per, and Kent, Michael L.
Abstract:: There are numerous species of apicomplexans that infect poikilothermic vertebrates, such as fishes, and possess unique morphological features that provide insight into the evolution of this important phylum of parasites. Here, the relationship of the fish-infecting Calyptospora species to other coccidians was investigated based on DNA sequence analysis. Genetic data...

Reproductive Failure of Landlocked Atlantic Salmon from New York's Finger Lakes: Investigations into the Etiology and Epidemiology of the “Cayuga Syndrome”

Creator:: Fisher, Jeffrey P., Spitsbergen, Jan M., Getchell, Rodman, Symula, John, Skea, Jack, Babenzein, Mark, and Chiotti, Thomas
Abstract:: We describe a disease syndrome that afflicts larval, landlocked Atlantic salmon Salmo salar from Cayuga Lake, one of central New York's Finger Lakes. Mortality associated with the “Cayuga syndrome” is 98–100%. Death usually occurs between 650 and 850 centigrade degree-days after fertilization, approximately 2–4 weeks before yolk resorption is complete....

Harnessing Heterogeneity in Human Gut Microbiome Data

Creator:: Tataru, Christine
Abstract:: The focus of this thesis is to design, characterize, and apply novel computational methods and molecular systems to interrogate heterogeneous human gut microbiome-related phenomena. In Chapter 2, I design, implement, and characterize a method for embedding co-occurrence patterns derived from massive 16s amplicon datasets. I use this method to 1....

The Effects of Phytoplankton Prey Species and Nutrient Limitation on Microzooplankton

Creator:: McBeain, Kelsey Ann
Abstract:: Phytoplankton and microzooplankton comprise the base and the first link of the marine food web, respectively. These microbes are key drivers of marine carbon and nutrient cycles. Phytoplankton convert atmospheric CO₂ into organic carbon, and microzooplankton consume phytoplankton, packaging phytoplankton carbon into particulate forms that have a variety of fates:...
