Structural and functional analysis of the 57 kDa protein produced by the fish pathogen, Renibacterium salmoninarum

Creator:: Wiens, Gregory D.
Abstract:: Little is known about the virulence factors of Renibacterium salmoninarum, the causative agent of salmonid bacterial kidney disease. The predominant protein produced by R. salmoninarum in broth culture or during infection is a 57/58 kDa protein (p57) which is associated with strain virulence. In this study monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to...

Development of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to detect antibodies against Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies israelensis in Mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos)

Creator:: Rutherford, Gregory J.
Abstract:: To develop an assay to detect antibodies to Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis in mallard ducks, a growth curve was first established for the bacterium. The growth curve indicated that the crystal delta endotoxin would be best harvested from the rest of the cell material after 12 hours of growth. The...

Pathogenic and molecular characterization of three closely related isolates of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV)

Creator:: Bruslind, Linda D.
Abstract:: Three closely related isolates belonging to the A₁ serotype of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) were selected for comparison, to provide insight into the nature of variation in the virulence of IPN viruses. Brook trout fry (Salvelinus fontinalis) were experimentally infected with the three isolates by immersion. Cumulative mortalities over...

Rapid, sensitive methods for enumeration and enterotoxin assay for Staphylococcus aureus

Creator:: Chugg, Lee Russon
Abstract:: A selective, differential plating medium for the enumeration of coagulase-positive staphylococci was developed. The ingredients of this medium were analysed for their effect on normal, heat treated and frozen staphylococcal cells. The nutrient base consisted of 10 gm Tryptone, 5 gm Beef Extract, 1 gm Yeast Extract and 17 gm...

Transmission of disseminated neoplasia in the soft shell clam, Mya arenaria

Creator:: House, Marcia
Abstract:: Disseminated neoplasia (DN) is a proliferative cell disorder that occurs in the circulatory system of bivalves. The condition is progressive and lethal. At least 15 species of bivalves over a wide range of geographic locations have been reported to contract DN. Prevalence levels of disseminated neoplasia can reach up to...

Analysis of the genome of leporid herpesvirus 4

Creator:: Babra, Bobby, Watson, Gregory, Xu, Wayne, Jeffrey, Brendan, Xu, Jia-Rong, Rockey, Dan, Rohrmann, George, and Jin, Ling
Abstract:: The genome of a herpesvirus highly pathogenic to rabbits, leporid herpesvirus 4 (LHV-4), was analyzed using high-throughput DNA sequencing technology and primer walking. The assembled DNA sequences were further verified by restriction endonuclease digestion and Southern blot analyses. The total length of the LHV-4 genome was determined to be about...

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...

Ruminal Biodegradation of Heterocyclic Toxic Compounds

Creator:: Tanaree, Dan D.
Abstract:: Cyclic nitramines are a class of compounds that include most of the commonly used explosives today. These are among the most common toxicants released into the environment as a result of human activity, generated on military ranges, battlefields, and production sites. Of these, hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5- triazine (RDX) is of particular interest,...

Bacterial 16S ribosomal DNA analysis of pyrrolizidine alkaloid detoxifying enrichments from the ovine rumen

Creator:: Gray, Diane R.
Abstract:: Bacterial cultures enriched from sheep rumen fluid have demonstrated the ability to detoxify pyrrolizidine alkaloids (seneciphylline and jacobine) in tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea). The microbes are difficult to isolate using classical anaerobic techniques, therefore, microbes from two different enrichment cultures demonstrating similar degradation activity were identified using their 16S ribosomal...
