The Social Interactions of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Creator:: Smith, Parker
Abstract:: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous environmental microbe, opportunistic pathogen, and a highly social organism. P. aeruginosa utilizes a wide array of cooperative behaviors to adapt to the environmental conditions around it. These behaviors include quorum sensing (QS), a form a cell-to-cell signaling that coordinates the expression of secreted products in...

Elucidating the Origins of Trends and Selectivities of Organic Reactions through Computations and Data Analysis Techniques

Creator:: Richardson, H. Camille
Abstract:: In this dissertation, a novel method for analyzing computed transition states (TS) for organic reactions is disclosed. It introduces the use of localization-delocalization matrices as parameters in a linear free energy relationship to determine the transition state interactions responsible for differences in energy between the major and minor TS in...

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,...

Linking phylogenetic identity and biogeochemical function of uncultivated marine microbes with novel mass spectrometry techniques

Creator:: Bryson, Samuel J.
Abstract:: The combined activities of diverse heterotrophic marine microorganisms significantly shape global biogeochemical cycles, but models of these activities are currently limited to aggregate microbial community processes, and it remains unclear how community structure and the functional roles of specific microbial taxa should be integrated into these models. Therefore, understanding the...

Information Processing in Multicellular Networks

Creator:: Potter, Garrett D.
Abstract:: The ability for individual cells and multicellular networks to process information contained in perceived stimuli is of vital importance to their proper functioning and ultimately their cellular fate. The primary mechanism employed by cells to this end is the use of biochemical signaling in which a series of molecular events...

Towards the Routine Computational Investigation of Complex Organocatalysis and Reaction Processes

Creator:: Ogba, O. Maduka
Abstract:: In this Dissertation, the mechanism and stereomechanics of complex organocatalysis and reaction processes are disclosed. The technologies and protocols currently being developed and utilized to efficiently investigate these systems using theory are highlighted. A detailed computational study of peptide-catalyzed acylations is disclosed. In particular, the magnitude of all possible non-bonding...

Conformationally chiral diphenylethers and the enantioselective Ullmann etherification

Creator:: Salih, M. Quamar
Abstract:: Since the discovery of molecular chirality in 1848, this notion has had a substantial impact on medicine, biology, and chemistry. Extensive effort has been directed towards the construction of chiral molecules that contain sp³ hybridized stereogenic centers. In contrast, less effort has been dedicated to molecules that are chiral by...

What is killing the corals? Viral and bacterial interrogations using metagenomics and microscopy

Creator:: Soffer, Nitzan
Abstract:: Corals have multiple roles in maintaining ocean health and are some of the world’s most diverse ecosystems. The coral animal is host to a multitude of taxa, including symbiotic dinoflagellate algae, fungi, bacteria, protists, and viruses. Environmental stressors and disease agents can perturb the delicate balance of the coral host...

A syntactical analysis of modern Japanese thought patterns as reflected in characteristics of the Japanese language

Creator:: Tsuboya, Yoko
Abstract:: This study had two purposes. The first purpose was to determine whether certain aspects of the Japanese language were reflected in examples of the Japanese cultural construct of contemporary essays. The second purpose was to show how these aspects of the Japanese language reflect the intuitive, non-logical nature of Japanese...
