  • Transcriptional networks controlled by the fatty acid regulators FAR-1 and FAR-2

    Creator:
    Bredeweg, Erin L.
    Abstract:
    Fungi are capable of growth on a wide variety of carbon sources, both living and dead. They can produce an arsenal of enzymes and transporters for harvesting sugars, polysaccharides, amino acids, lipids and micronutrients from their environments [1]. Within the nucleus of a cell, transcription factors (TF) control whether genes...

  • Characterizing drivers of microbial community structure and function in diverse marine sediments

    Creator:
    Graw, Michael F.
    Abstract:
    Marine sediments are one of the largest habitats for microbial life on earth. These microorganisms play critical roles in biogeochemical cycling both within the subsurface and between the sediment and water columns. However, microbial communities in sediments are highly heterogeneous and the factors defining microbial community structure and metabolic function...

  • Advances in Freshwater Cyanobacterial Genomics

    Creator:
    Brown, Nathaniel M.
    Abstract:
    Limnology is undergoing a transition to high-throughput -omic analysis of freshwater bacterial communities. An important first step in making the transition is to characterize several genomes that can be used as references to guide metagenome assembly and analysis. Here I characterize four new freshwater cyanobacterial genomes, a pair of lake...

  • Industrially-situated project-based learning : a study of feedback and diffusion

    Creator:
    Gilbuena, Debra M.
    Abstract:
    The Virtual Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) Process Development Project provides the context for the two areas of the research presented in this dissertation. The first area, generally referred to as feedback in this dissertation, focuses on student learning and the interactions of students and instructors that take place in the...

  • Science and efficacy of mild sodium hydroxide treatments in enzyme-based wheat straw-to-glucose processing

    Creator:
    Sophonputtanaphoca, Supaporn
    Abstract:
    The work described in this dissertation focused on chemistry related to the use of aqueous sodium hydroxide as a treatment in the processing of wheat straw. A major emphasis was the comprehensive evaluation of straw component partitioning due to sodium hydroxide (NaOH) processing. This was evaluated over a range of...

  • Optimization of cryoprotectant addition and removal procedures for vitrification of adherent mammalian cells

    Creator:
    Fry Davidson, Allyson
    Abstract:
    Cryopreservation of adherent cells may be advantageous for cell types that are difficult to preserve in suspension or when it is necessary to preserve characteristics of the adherent cultured cells. Vitrification is a promising procedure for the preservation of adherent cells that prevents ice crystal formation and the resulting dissociation...
