Serpentine and non-serpentine edaphic ecology and the recovery of Lomatium cookii (Apiaceae), an endangered endemic of southwest Oregon

Creator:: Silvernail, Ian S.
Abstract:: The role of unusual geologies in plant distribution and form is well-known. Serpentine (ultramafic) soils exert a particularly strong influence on plants, as evidenced by a high level of endemism and the morphological and physiological traits displayed in adaptation to the extraordinary chemistry of these substrates. Adaptation may lead to...

Characterization of novel marine oligotrophic bacteria isolated from the Pacific Ocean : description of Marinivirgula fluito gen. nov., sp. nov., Marinivirgula obesa gen. nov., sp. nov. and Litincola parvulus gen. nov., sp. nov.

Creator:: Shin, Eun Jung
Abstract:: A new high-throughput culturing (HTC) method using a low nutrient heterotrophic medium (LNHM) has led to the isolation of many novel strains of oligotrophic bacteria from marine ecosystems. Four strains belonging to a single dade, HTCC2151, HTCC218OT, HTCC2178T and HTCC2188T, were isolated from the coast of Oregon by the HTC...

Bio-physical interactions of small pelagic fish schools and zooplankton prey in the California Current System over multiple scales

Creator:: Kaltenberg, Amanda May
Abstract:: Small pelagic fish represent a critical trophic link between plankton and large predators in marine upwelling ecosystems such as the California Current System. Populations of these fish are highly variable over time and are characterized by extreme fluctuations in abundance, which have significant ecosystem impacts. The causes driving this instability...

The genetic diversity of Ceanothus-infective Frankia

Creator:: Ritchie, Nancy J.
Abstract:: Frankia from root nodules of nine different species of Ceanothus were characterized. DNA was amplified directly from nodular material using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The amplified region includes the 3' end of the 16S rRNA gene, the intergenic spacer (IGS), and a large portion of the 23S rRNA gene....

Interactions between microbial dynamics and transport processes in soils

Creator:: Rockhold, Mark L.
Abstract:: An experimental and numerical modeling investigation was conducted to study interactions between microbial dynamics and transport processes in variably saturated porous media. These interactions are important in a variety of applied problems such as water and wastewater treatment, bioremediation, and oil-field recovery operations. These processes and interactions also have great...

Geomicrobiology of marine sediment containing methane

Creator:: Briggs, Brandon R.
Abstract:: Marine sediments contain an abundance of methane that is biologically produced and plays a significant role in the global carbon cycle. Microbes responsible for the carbon cycle in marine sediments, and the processes that they carry out, need to be characterized in order to fully understand the role of this...

Ammonia-oxidizer and denitrifier populations in boreal forest soils of differing nitrogen availability

Creator:: Burton, Marci S.
Abstract:: Nitrification and denitrification are major biological processes transforming nitrogen (N) in soils to plant available N, highly leachable nitrate (NO₃⁻) and gaseous N oxides. Although many studies in the past have studied N cycling communities, the effect of increased N inputs on ammonia-oxidizer and denitrifier population dynamics is still under...

Mineral Surfaces as Agents of Environmental Proteolysis: Mechanisms and Controls

Creator:: Chacon, Stephany S.
Abstract:: The bottleneck in the turnover of soil organic matter (SOM) is the conversion of large molecular compounds into smaller compounds that can be transported through a cell membrane of a microbe for processing. Once inside the cell, organic compounds can be converted into biomass or be respired. The microbial depolymerization...

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)...
