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...

Benthic biological invasions in two temperate estuaries and their effects on trophic relations of native fish and community stability

Creator:

Castillo, Gonzalo C.

Abstract:

The extent of biological invasions, their role on the feeding of native fishes and their impact on community stability were investigated in Alsea Bay and Yaquina Bay, two estuaries on the central Oregon coast, USA. Most nonindigenous species (NIS) introduced in these intermediately invaded estuaries are considered byproducts of culturing...
