Light quality manipulation for the solvent extraction of phycocyanin from Oregon freshwater cyanobacteria

Creator:

Gregor, Katelin

Abstract:

Phycocyanin, a photosynthetic pigment-protein complex produced by cyanobacteria, has critical value in the medical field at high purity. Costs associated with the extraction of this pigment are high, emphasizing the importance of optimal growth conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate potential commercial producers of phycocyanin by evaluating...

Understanding polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) toxicity and inflammation in human bronchial epithelial cells

Creator:

Valdez, Teresa

Abstract:

There is increased emphasis on understanding cumulative risk from the combined effects of chemical and non-chemical stressors as it relates to public health. Recent animal studies have identified pulmonary inflammation as a possible modifier and risk factor for chemical toxicity in the lung after exposure to inhaled pollutants; however, little...

Insights into the Host Range, Population Decline, and Pathogenicity to Potato of Globodera ellingtonae

Creator:

Baker, Hannah V.

Abstract:

This thesis project has the following specific objectives: (i) Determine pathogenicity of Globodera ellingtonae to potato utilizing two trials conducted over a 16 week period, (ii) Elucidate the host range of G. ellingtonae using a variety of different Solanum weed species and crop species, and (iii) Characterize population decline of...

De novo Discovery of Novel Long Noncoding RNAs in the North American Beaver

Creator:

Kashyap, Amita

Abstract:

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNA molecules that are at least 200 nucleotides long and do not encode proteins. lncRNAs have roles in gene regulation, chromatin epigenetics, and molecular scaffolding. In light of mounting evidence implicating species-specific noncoding RNAs and gene regulatory mechanisms in species adaptations, it is reasonable to...

Discovery and Characterization of New Cyanobacterial Natural Products from Moorea sp

Creator:

Cowley, Elise Shylo

Abstract:

Natural products (secondary metabolites) are small organic molecules derived from plants, microbes, and marine organisms that have served as a diverse source of useful compounds pharmaceuticals. New biologically active natural products are critical as anti-infective and cancer drug leads. Cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae, produce diverse cytotoxic metabolites that represent potential...

Probing Circadian Clock-Steroid Receptor Interactions in GnRH Neurons

Creator:

Grimwood, Victoria J.

Abstract:

Endogenous circadian clock regulation is essential to normal rhythmicity, particularly the timing of hormone release in the brain. In the context of mammalian reproduction, a surge of a specific hormone, gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH), initiates a surge of luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland, which is required for ovulation in...

Inhibition of α-Amylase and α-Glucosidase by Bioflavonoids

Creator:

Griffith, Anneke M. (Tucker)

Abstract:

Various flavonoid-rich plant extracts have shown efficacy in the treatment of diabetes. Although it is often assumed that dietary flavonoids exert biological antioxidant effects, it is possible that the observed effects work in carbohydrate metabolism. In this study we evaluated the effect of catechins and catechin containing extracts on α-amylase...

Response of reef fish assemblages to overgrowth of the hydrocoral Millepora complanata by the crustose alga Ramicrusta sp.

Creator:

Adams, AnnaRose

Abstract:

Natural disturbances and human activities can alter the benthic composition of coral reefs and other marine ecosystems. Reef fishes that associate with particular structures on the sea floor, such as coral heads, may be vulnerable to perturbations of those habitats. The spread of a newly discovered crustose alga (Ramicrusta sp.)...
