Comparative genomics of Vibrio and characterizing microbial communities at a shellfish hatchery

Creator:

Delgado, Hanna

Abstract:

Vibrio bacteria are commonly found in freshwater, marine, and estuarine environments. Members of this genus can exist in commensal relationships with marine animals or as planktonic bacteria, however, they are well known for their roles as pathogens towards humans and animals. In this dissertation, I investigated aspects of host-bacteria relationships...

Characterization of the pathogenicity and phylogeny of members of the Rhodococcus genus

Creator:

Creason, Allison L.

Abstract:

Plant pathogenic Rhodococcus species are persistent pathogens able to cause severe growth deformities on a large range of hosts. The most well studied species, R. fascians is predicted by current models to synthesize a mixture of cytokinins that act to directly perturb the hosts' hormone balances, which results in abnormal...

Bacterial community analysis, new exoelectrogen isolation and enhanced performance of microbial electrochemical systems using nano-decorated anodes

Creator:

Xu, Shoutao

Abstract:

Microbial electrochemical systems (MESs) have attracted much research attention in recent years due to their promising applications in renewable energy generation, bioremediation, and wastewater treatment. In a MES, microorganisms interact with electrodes via electrons, catalyzing oxidation and reduction reactions at the anode and the cathode. The bacterial community of a...
