Controlling Important Pathogens in Zebrafish (Danio rerio) : Assessing Cryopreservation Survival of Bacteria and Parasites and Clinical Sensitivity of Mycobacterial qPCR Assays

Creator:: Norris, Lauren J.
Abstract:: Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are one of the most commonly used animal models in biomedical research. Zebrafish resource facilities, like the Zebrafish International Resource Center (ZIRC) in Eugene, Oregon, are the main providers and keepers of numerous zebrafish wild-type, mutant, and transgenic lines. Although ZIRC maintains live zebrafish at various life...

Linking phylogenetic identity and biogeochemical function of uncultivated marine microbes with novel mass spectrometry techniques

Creator:: Bryson, Samuel J.
Abstract:: The combined activities of diverse heterotrophic marine microorganisms significantly shape global biogeochemical cycles, but models of these activities are currently limited to aggregate microbial community processes, and it remains unclear how community structure and the functional roles of specific microbial taxa should be integrated into these models. Therefore, understanding the...

Investigation of Nematocyst Discharge in Parasitic Cnidarians (Myxozoa)

Creator:: Americus, Benjamin E.
Abstract:: Myxozoans are an enigmatic group of obligately parasitic, microscopic cnidarians. They diverged from their free-living relatives over 600 million years ago and have highly reduced genomes. However, they have retained nematocyst stinging cells which characterize the phylum Cnidaria. Free-living cnidarians utilize this cellular weaponry for defense and predation whereas the...

Host-pathogen Interactions of Respiratory RNA Viruses and the Application of Recombinase Polymerase Amplification for Viral Diagnostics

Creator:: Prescott, Meagan A.
Abstract:: Humans and viral disease are inextricably intertwined. Viral disease plays an immeasurable role in human life, from the disease and economic burden associated with every facet of contending with human viral disease, to managing the consequences of viral disease in organisms important to our food supply, economy, and entertainment. The...

Studies on host range, fine structure, and nucleic acids of lactic streptococcus bacteriophages

Creator:: Nyiendo, Joanne Annette
Abstract:: The most frequent cause of insufficient acid production during fermentation of dairy products is bacteriophage infection of lactic starter cultures. Previously, efforts to minimize this problem have dealt primarily with the host range relationships of the viruses and susceptibility patterns of the lactic streptococci. This study was undertaken to characterize...

Lactic streptococci: growth characteristics and plasmid profiles of drug- and bacteriophage-insensitive mutants

Creator:: Wulf, John J.
Abstract:: Fast acid-producing streptomycin-resistant mutants for several strains of lactic streptococci currently used in commercial Cheddar cheese manufacture were isolated. Their isolation involved use of a recently developed differential plating medium that allows identification of fast acid-producing colonies. Both parents and mutants were characterized with regard to growth, acid production, proteolytic...

Bacteriophages for Leuconostoc oenos : a survey of Oregon wineries

Creator:: Eschelbach, Matthew Michael
Abstract:: A study of malolactic bacteria of the Leuconostoc genus, especially L. oenos, and their bacteriophages was conducted. A search for the presence of infectious bacteriophages in grapes, musts, and juices employed in malo-lactic fermentation (MLF) was conducted; no evidence, either physical or biological, was found for the existence of these...

Novel Experimental Designs and Mathematical Models to Study Fecal Indicator Bacteria Persistence in Surface Water

Creator:: Brooks, Lauren
Abstract:: High counts of fecal indicators, used to signal the potential presence of pathogens associated with untreated waste, result in the classification of water bodies throughout the United States as impaired. Nonpoint sources of unknown origin that contribute to fecal contamination make management of impaired waters challenging, as they are difficult...
