  • Advances in expression of heterologous protein products by Streptococcus gordonii

    Creator:
    Warren, Travis Kent
    Abstract:
    Streptococcus gordonii is a bacterial species that naturally colonizes the oral cavity of most healthy humans. It resides in the mouth as an adherent to dental surfaces and, with few exceptions, does not cause disease in individuals it inhabits. It possesses qualities that encourage its use as a vector to...

  • Transformation of alfalfa using Agrobacterium tumefaciens

    Creator:
    Gelford, Inga L.
    Abstract:
    Agrobacterium tumefaciens, the causative agent of crown gall disease, does not readily infect commercial varieties of alfalfa (Medicago sativa). Cloned virulence genes from the megaplasmid pTiBo542 have been shown to enhance Agrobacterium host range and infectivity on dicotyledonous plants. To obtain a gene transfer system for commercial alfalfa cultivars, an...

  • Advances in Freshwater Cyanobacterial Genomics

    Creator:
    Brown, Nathaniel M.
    Abstract:
    Limnology is undergoing a transition to high-throughput -omic analysis of freshwater bacterial communities. An important first step in making the transition is to characterize several genomes that can be used as references to guide metagenome assembly and analysis. Here I characterize four new freshwater cyanobacterial genomes, a pair of lake...

  • Construction of a model organism for performing calcium carbonate precipitation in a porous media reactor

    Creator:
    Kaufman, Megan J.
    Abstract:
    Aquifers are an important storage location and source of fresh groundwater. They may become polluted by a number of contaminants including mobile divalent radionuclides such as strontium-90 which is a byproduct of uranium fission. A method for remediating such divalent radionuclides is sequestration through co-precipitation into calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate...
