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,...

Characterization of bacterial populations and turbidity effects in chlorinated drinking water

Creator:: LeChevallier, Mark W.
Abstract:: The present study was conducted as a three part investigation to (i) examine the incidence, distribution and kinds of standard plate count bacteria present in chlorinated and raw water; (ii) study the ecological role and possible health significance of Aeromonas spp. in distribution water, and (iii) evaluate the effects of...

Host range and chemical composition of lactic streptococcal bacteriophages

Creator:: Henning, David Ralph
Abstract:: Comparisons were made of the abilities of Streptococcus lactis, Streptococcus cremoris and Streptococcus diacetilactis bacteriophages to endure various laboratory isolation and storage treatments. Neutralization of Cottage cheese whey containing phages offered no survival advantage over unneutralized samples, refrigeration of neutral and acid whey samples increased the survival of only the...

Distribution of Clostridium botulinum type E in fish, shellfish and the marine environment of the Pacific Northwest, and protein patterns of the toxigenic and non-toxigenic stains

Creator:: Craig, James Morrison
Abstract:: Interest in the distribution of Clostridium botulinum type E was heightened by the sudden outbreak of human botulism from smoked whitefish chubs and canned tuna fish in 1963. The question arose as to how widely the organism is distributed among fish and shellfish in the Northwest and what potential hazard...

Symbiotic and saprophytic characteristics of a soil population of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii

Creator:: Yap, Kathryn H. M.
Abstract:: Although much has been learned about the comparative nodulating behavior of simple mixtures of rhizobial strains under non-soil situations, it is unclear how these findings relate to the factors influencing nodulation success by the complex mixtures of strains found within soil-borne rhizobial populations. Information on the structure and physiological behavior...

New Insights into the Molecular Mechanism of Clostridium perfringens Spore Germination

Creator:: Banawas, Saeed S.
Abstract:: C. perfringens is a spore-forming, gram-positive, anaerobic pathogenic bacterium capable of causing a wide variety of diseases in both humans and animals. However, the two most common illnesses in humans are C. perfringens type A food poisoning (FP) and non-food-borne (NFB) gastrointestinal (GI) illnesses. Interestingly, these two major diseases are...

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...

An investigation of carbon and nitrogen metabolism through a genomic analysis of the genus Nitrobacter

Creator:: Starkenburg, Shawn R.
Abstract:: The chemolithoautotrophic nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) participate in the biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen by catalyzing and conserving energy from the oxidation of nitrite (NO₂-) to nitrate (NO₃-) via a nitrite oxidoreductase (NXR). The main objective of this work was to comparatively annotate and analyze the genome sequences of Nitrobacter winogradskyi...
