Tracking Bacterial and Viral Shifts in Three Organisms to Shed Light on the Complex Role of Microbes in Coral Reef Health

Creator:: Messyasz, Adriana
Abstract:: Stony corals are the ecosystem engineers of the vital, dynamic, and complex marine ecosystem known as coral reefs. Globally, coral reefs are undergoing degradation from multiple anthropogenic stressors. Coral reef organism holobionts, or the host along with its microbial components, are key to reef ecosystem success and functioning. Marine microbes...

Approaches to The Optimization of Honey-Based Fermentations

Creator:: Kartik, Kritika
Abstract:: The fermentation of honey-based musts has been a feature of civilization for millennia. Typically comprised of 75-90% (w/w) simple (i.e. fermentable) sugars, the glucose and fructose present are readily fermented by either pitched or adventitious micro-organisms. Nevertheless, despite its venerable heritage, honey-based fermentations are prone to inconsistency, and it is...

Development of an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of Zebrafish Interleukin 1 beta upregulation

Creator:: Cook, Samuel A.
Abstract:: The study and utilization of Danio rerio (Zebrafish) as a model organism has increased greatly in recent decades. They are used in many areas of biological research, but one field that has used them extensively is immunology. Since zebrafish have been found to possess many orthologs to human genes, study...

The use of omics for disease evaluation in the brains of marine mammals

Creator:: Rosales, Stephanie
Abstract:: Marine mammals are top predators that are essential for the health and function of our oceans. These top predators are often affected by various factors that can be detrimental to their populations. Therefore, there is a need to evaluate undetermined causes of deaths and to better understand known diseases in...

Establishment of an in vitro System for Studying Mycobacterium avium Protein Secretion

Creator:: Chinison, Jessica J.
Abstract:: Cases of pulmonary diseases caused by Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) have increased over the years and have become a major health concern in Europe, Asia, and the United States. MAC, comprised of M. avium species and M. intracellulare, are found everywhere in the environment: in water sources and the soil....

Characterization of microaggregate formation by Mycobacterium avium subspecies hominissuis

Creator:: Babrak, Lmar
Abstract:: Mycobacterium avium subsp hominissuis (MAH) is an opportunistic environmental pathogen that causes respiratory and gastrointestinal illness in immunocompromised persons such as those with chronic respiratory diseases or AIDs, respectively. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the incidence of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung infections, including in cystic...

Serum biochemistry and immunoglobulin dynamics in multi-day endurance racing horses

Creator:: Esser, Melissa M.
Abstract:: Endurance riding reflects a relatively new sport among equine athletic disciplines and is growing rapidly. Of all the equine athletic disciplines, endurance riding is the most closely interrelated with veterinary assessment and control to ensure that horses are not exercised beyond their athletic capacity. As endurance riding competition has evolved,...

Applications of GnRH immunization in domestic dogs

Creator:: Donovan, Caitlin Elizabeth
Abstract:: Reproductive function in the dog is controlled by feedback mechanisms that involve the hypothalamus, the anterior pituitary gland, and the gonads. Surgical gonad removal, a common procedure performed in dogs for the purposes of sterilization, disrupts the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis and results in permanently elevated concentrations of gonadotropins. Manipulation of...

Clostridium perfringens spores : inactivation, germination, and formation

Creator:: Udompijitkul, Pathima
Abstract:: The enterotoxin-producing Clostridium perfringens type A isolates are responsible for the third most common foodborne illness in the United States and can also cause non-foodborne human gastrointestinal (GI) diseases such as antibiotic- associated and sporadic diarrheas. Three important factors contribute to the ability of C. perfringens to cause GI diseases,...

Flavor development of cheddar cheese under different manufacturing practices

Creator:: Lemus, Freddy Mauricio
Abstract:: Cheddar Cheese samples (good cheese, weak cheese, cheese made with pasteurized milk, cheese made with heat-shocked milk, cheese from production plant A, cheese from production plant B, cheese made with adjunct culture, and cheese made without adjunct culture), were evaluated during the ripening stage. Proteolysis was studied by a fractionation...
