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...

Analysis of Bacteroidales 16S rRNA gene sequences from a geographically isolated human population

Creator:: Petersen, Carolyn A.
Abstract:: Standard methods of measuring fecal pollution in water do not distinguish between human and non-human sources. Molecular technology enabled the development of host-specific markers that distinguish fecal sources. Human specific PCR primers, HF183F and HF134F, were designed based on phylogenetic analyses of partial 16S rRNA gene sequences from the Bacteroidales...

Physiological response of Nitrosomonas europaea to oxytetracycline, chromium, and silver

Creator:: Schaerer, Morgan A.
Abstract:: Nitrosomonas europaea carries out the first step in the biological nitrogen removal process in wastewater treatment by oxidizing ammonia to nitrite. It has been shown to be sensitive to a wide range of contaminants. The antibiotic oxytetracycline and the heavy metals chromium and silver have been found in wastewater influent....

Mycobacterium avium genes upregulated upon infection of Acanthamoeba castellanii demonstrate a common response to the intracellular environment

Creator:: Tennant, Rachel C.
Abstract:: Mycobacterium avium is a ubiquitous environmental organism found in both water and soil. It can cause disease in patients with previous pulmonary conditions, as well as immunosupressed patients, with the most prevalent being AIDS patients. Studies have indicated that passage through amoeba, a common environmental protozoa, increases virulence of M....

Fatty acid profiling of soil microbial communities : a comparison of extraction methods and temporal dynamics in plant residue amended soils

Creator:: Fernandes, Marcelo Ferreira
Abstract:: A method based on fatty acid (FA) analysis is used to profile microbial community structure (MCS). Various extraction protocols are available, which alter the types of FAs extracted from soils. The more time consuming but widely used protocol extracts only FAs from phospholipids (PLFA). This technique is desirable because PLFAs...

Structural requirements for adenovirus DNA replication

Creator:: Hu, Chin-Hwa
Abstract:: The adenovirus replication origins reside in the inverted terminal repetition (ITR) sequences. Replication proceeds unidirectionally by a strand-displacement mechanism from either or both origins to produce duplex daughter DNA plus a displaced parental strand. The displaced strand can be duplicated by two different routes. The cis pathway involves intramolecular hybridization...

Proteolytic maturation of vaccinia virus structural proteins

Creator:: VanSlyke, Judy K.
Abstract:: Vaccinia virus (VV) is a large DNA virus belonging to the Orthopoxvirus family. The viral replicative life cycle takes place solely within the cytoplasm of a mammalian host cell. The VV genome contains 196 open reading frames which are expressed in a highly regulated and temporal fashion in order to...

Effect of sulfur on dinitrogen fixation of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)

Creator:: Lopez-Jurado, Gerardo
Abstract:: Field experiments were established in 1982 and 1983 on a Woodburn silt loam soil (Aquultic Argixeroll) to examine the effect of S fertilizer on dinitrogen fixation and dry matter yield of 10 week-old seedling alfalfa (Medicago sativa L. cv. 'Apollo'). Six levels of S fertilizer (0 to 67.2 kg S/ha)...

Microbiological control of food spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms in refrigerated foods

Creator:: Al-Zoreky, Nageb
Abstract:: Microgard, a commercially-available pasteurized fermented milk, was found inhibitory to gram negative bacteria such as Pseudomonas putida, some well-known foodborne pathogens (e.g. Salmonella, Yersinia and Aeromonas) and some fungi as revealed by an agar incorporation assay method. Gram positive bacteria, however, were not inhibited. Rather, some bacteria in this group...
