Chemical and Genetic Investigations of Toxic Freshwater Cyanobacterial Blooms for Improved Monitoring and Understanding of Lake Ecology

Creator:: Collart, Lindsay P.
Abstract:: Toxin production by cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) in freshwater systems has lasting ecological and human impacts. Nutrients, light availability, hydrology, and microbial community composition impact the frequency and intensity of toxic cyanoHABs. Climate change will exacerbate toxic cyanoHABs, making real time and predictive monitoring a vital tool for managing...

Comparative Genomics of Freshwater Bloom-Forming Cyanobacteria and Associated Organisms

Creator:: Driscoll, Connor B.
Abstract:: The advent of improved DNA sequencing technologies has allowed the analysis of various microbial communities. Bloom-forming freshwater cyanobacteria can produce toxins and taste-and-odor compounds that can negatively affect drinking water supplies. Here, I have employed second- and third-generation sequencing technologies to characterize bloom-forming freshwater cyanobacterial genomes and their associated heterotrophic...

Baculovirus molecular biology, 4th edition

Creator:: Rohrmann, George F.
Abstract:: This is the 4th edition of a book that was initiated with the annotation of the function of all the genes in the most commonly studied baculovirus, AcMNPV. It has been almost six years since I reviewed this literature. As a measure of the research that has occurred over this...

Impacts of microbial chemical interactions on marine plankton physiology

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,...

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...

Comparative genomics of Vibrio and characterizing microbial communities at a shellfish hatchery

Creator:: Delgado, Hanna
Abstract:: Vibrio bacteria are commonly found in freshwater, marine, and estuarine environments. Members of this genus can exist in commensal relationships with marine animals or as planktonic bacteria, however, they are well known for their roles as pathogens towards humans and animals. In this dissertation, I investigated aspects of host-bacteria relationships...

Disease models and infectious phenotypes of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis

Creator:: Everman, Jamie L.
Abstract:: Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is the causative agent of Johne's disease, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that affects ruminant populations worldwide. The characteristic stages of the disease make diagnosis difficult, resulting in silent transmission among animals in a herd for years before proper detection of the infection. The extensive...

Single-Cell Genomics of Uncultivated Marine Bacteria

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...

The use of omics for disease evaluation in the brains of marine mammals

Creator:: Rosales, Stephanie
Abstract:: Marine mammals are top predators that are essential for the health and function of our oceans. These top predators are often affected by various factors that can be detrimental to their populations. Therefore, there is a need to evaluate undetermined causes of deaths and to better understand known diseases in...

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...
