Development of mucosal vaccines for avian influenza A virus composed of recombinant Lactococcus lactis and Streptococcus gordonii

Creator:: Reese, Kaleb A.
Abstract:: Novel mucosal vaccines (LL-M2e, LL-HAe, SG-HAe) were constructed from live, non-pathogenic Lactococcus lactis or Streptococcus gordonii that express conserved regions of HA or M2 antigens from avian influenza virus (AIV) A. All three vaccines evoked antigen-specific serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) responses in vaccinated chickens. The addition of the adjuvant cholera...

The Genomic Capabilities of Microbial Communities Track Seasonal Variation in Arctic Lagoons

Creator:: Baker, Kristina D.
Abstract:: The lagoons spanning Alaska’s Beaufort Sea coast provide a unique habitat for arctic wildlife. These lagoons and the food webs they support face extreme seasonality with nine months of ice cover followed by a spring thaw that pulses a large amount of freshwater and nutrients into the lagoons. Bacteria link...

A comparative study of Clostridium botulinum strains using differential egg yolk media

Creator:: Stiebrs, Anita
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to compare and test the efficiency of the leading kinds of media being used for the isolation and identification of Clostridium botulinum type E strains, and to develop a more reliable method and media for the differentiation of this organism based on the "pearly...

Investigations of T cell costimulation and autoimmunity in mice, and development of flow cytometric methods to assess lymphocyte stimulation in dogs

Creator:: Weatherill, Amy R.
Abstract:: Proper immune function is indispensable, as failure to mount an immune response against a pathogen can lead to serious complications or even death. T cells act by enhancing the activation of phagocytic cells as well as the activation of B cells. Their widespread influence on an immune response makes optimal...

Final report : environmental stresses and skeletal deformities in fish from the Willamette River, Oregon, USA

Creator:: Villeneuve, Daniel L., Curtis, Lawrence R., Jenkins, Jeffrey J., Warner, Kara E., Tilton, Fred A., Kent, Michael L., Watral, Virginia G., Cunningham, Michael E., Markle, Douglas F., Sethajintanin, Doolalai, Krissanakriangkrai, Oraphin, Johnson, Eugene R., Grove, Robert Allan, Anderson, Kim A., Oregon State University. Department of Microbiology, Oregon State University. Department of Environmental and Molecular Toxicology, Oregon State University. Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, and Institute for Natural Resources
Abstract:: The Willamette River, one of only 14 American Heritage Rivers, flows through the most densely populated and agriculturally productive region of Oregon. Previous biological monitoring of Willamette River fish detected elevated frequencies of skeletal deformities in fish from certain areas of the lower (NP [NP], rivermile [RM] 26-55) and middle...

Hydrogen peroxide oxidation of annual ryegrass lignin and utilization of the products by Rhodotorula mucilaginosa

Creator:: Rockhill, Robert Clayton
Abstract:: Annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) a major grass seed crop in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, is presently burned in the fields after harvest, causing considerable air pollution and general wastage of a material which could be used in the manufacture of economically important products. The cellulosic component of straw is relatively...

Chitinase production of Arthrobacter sp. BN2

Creator:: Miranda-Chavez, Alcibiades Heli
Abstract:: A chitinase producing bacterium was isolated from soil and identified as a species of Arthrobacter. The organism grew well at temperatures between 27 and 33.5 C, and the chitinase production was highest at 25.5 C. As the temperature increased above the optimum point, the level of enzyme production rapidly decreased,...

Studies on the lipid and fatty acid composition of Micrococcus radiodurans

Creator:: Lewis, Norman Francis
Abstract:: Comparatively little work has been done on bacterial lipids. There are profound differences between bacterial lipids in general and lipids of the higher forms of life in such respects as the absence of sterols, phospholipids low in nitrogen but high in inositol and carbohydrate, the presence of large proportions of...

Stable isotope probing of the ovine rumen for RDX degrading microorganisms

Creator:: Mitchell, Edward A.
Abstract:: The anaerobic and highly reductive conditions found in the ovine rumen are considered favorable for the degradation of the nitroaromatic explosives such as hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX). In this study, we used stable-isotope-probing to determine the bacteria responsible for the degradation of RDX in the rumen. Results indicate 10 μg mL⁻¹ (45...

Molecular characterization of bacterial populations implicated inthe anaerobic metabolism of toxic plant alkaloids from two different experimental and environmental sources

Creator:: Rattray, Rogan MacKay
Abstract:: There have been many studies that describe the protective degradation or metabolism of potentially harmful plant toxins, such as, mimosine from Leucaena leuconcephala, pyrrolizidine alkaloids from tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea), oxalate and some mycotoxins by rumen microbes. There are many cases of plant-related toxicoses suffered by ruminant animals where there...
