Full Text:: ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Ann Harriet Nicholas for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Microbiology

Creator:: Tsuji, Masayoshi
Abstract:: Pathogenesis and immunity involved in fowl cholera were studied with the turkey, one of the most susceptible natural hosts. The causative agent, Pasteurella multocida, was analyzed in terms of its virulence and immunogenic factors, using a highly virulent, encapsulated strain P-1059. Protective immunity was induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- protein complex...

Creator:: Ferguson, Jayde A.
Abstract:: Diseases caused by parasites are recognized as significant sources of mortality in wild fish populations. I assessed the impacts of multispecies parasitism on a threatened stock of juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch). A crucial prerequisite to this research was proper identification of parasites, which can be difficult for species lacking...

Creator:: Moore, Eric R.
Abstract:: The bioavailability of chemical compounds in the marine environment fundamentally influences the growth and physiology of microorganisms. Organic and inorganic chemicals that are produced by some marine plankton can be consumed by other plankton for energy production, growth, or to initiate essential physiological processes. Cultures of the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana,...

Creator:: Wang, Lu
Abstract:: Seagrasses and coral reefs play important roles in nutrient cycling, coastal protection, and maintaining marine biodiversity. However, these coastal marine organisms are declining globally due to anthropogenic stressors, such as rising ocean temperatures, ocean acidification, and eutrophication. These organisms live in close association with their microbiomes, which can be beneficial...

Creator:: Landry, Zachary
Abstract:: Historically, the difficulty of obtaining pure cultures of abundant marine microbial plankton has an obstacle to reconstructing the underlying mechanisms of biogeochemistry in the ocean. While a number of dominant marine species from the ocean surface have been cultured, the dominant microbial plankton of the dark ocean proved far more...

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....
