  • Construction of a model organism for performing calcium carbonate precipitation in a porous media reactor

    Creator:
    Kaufman, Megan J.
    Abstract:
    Aquifers are an important storage location and source of fresh groundwater. They may become polluted by a number of contaminants including mobile divalent radionuclides such as strontium-90 which is a byproduct of uranium fission. A method for remediating such divalent radionuclides is sequestration through co-precipitation into calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate...

  • Investigation of unique marine environments for microbial natural products

    Creator:
    Thornburg, Christopher C.
    Abstract:
    Metagenomics has revealed that the marine microbial biosphere is immensely more diverse than originally considered, and is an almost untapped reservoir for the potential discovery of microbial natural products. Despite numerous advances in culturing, biosynthetic engineering and genomic-based screening efforts to uncover much of this diversity in relatively accessible environments,...

  • 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...
