Genotypic and phenotypic characterization of enterotoxigenic Clostridium perfringens type A fecal isolates associated with human gastrointestinal diseases in the United Kingdom

Creator:: Harrison, Ben
Abstract:: Clostridium perfringens type A isolates producing enterotoxin (CPE) are an important cause of food poisoning and non-food-borne human gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, including antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD), and spontaneous diarrhea (SD). In enterotoxigenic type A isolates, the cpe gene is found on the chromosome in food poisoning isolates, but is present on...

Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) interleukin-1 beta plasmid DNA generates inflammation in vivo and demonstrates adjuvant potential for vaccine against infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus

Creator:: Jordan Hayes, Dawn Christine
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Cooxidation by three butane-grown bacteria and mechanism-based inactivation of butane monooxygenase

Creator:: Storfa, Ryan T.
Abstract:: Butane-grown cells of Pseudomonas butanovora, Nocardioides sp. CF8 and Mycobacterium vaccae JOB5 were tested for their ability to cooxidize methane, ammonia and ethylene. Less than 10 nmol of methane were degraded by each of the bacteria (0.17-0.35 mg protein) in 30 minutes. Hydroxylamine and nitrite accumulated when Nocardioides CF8 and...

Recombinant vaccines against infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus : bacterial systems for vaccine production and delivery

Creator:: Simon, Benjamin E.
Abstract:: Several systems were examined for the production and delivery of recombinant vaccines for fish. C. crescentus was employed to produce a fragment of the IHNV glycoprotein. When administered by injection to 0.5 gram rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), one of the fusion proteins (184 amino acids of the IHNV glycoprotein fused...

Characterization of an inhibitor ("6S") of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) in normal rainbow trout serum (RTS) and its effects on the virus

Creator:: Park, Kyoung Chul
Abstract:: The characteristics of an inhibitor of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) found in normal rainbow trout serum (RTS) were studied. The serum inhibitor had a molecular weight of approximately 150 kDa and was dependent on divalent cations, either Ca²⁺ or Mg²⁺. It was stable at temperatures up to 50°C and...

Growth and development of tetracycline resistant Chlamydia suis

Creator:: Lenart, Jennifer
Abstract:: Tetracycline is a front line antibiotic for the treatment of chlamydial infections in both humans and animals, and the emergence of tetracycline resistant (tet[superscript R]) Chlamydia is of significant clinical importance. Recently, several tet[superscript R] chlamydial strains have been isolated from swine (Sus scrofa) raised in production facilities in Nebraska....

The role of costimulation and adjuvants in the development of T cell effector and memory responses

Creator:: Maxwell, Joseph R.
Abstract:: T cells are one of the key cells in the immune system. Although they are not the first line of defense against a pathogen, their functions can greatly enhance the phagocytosis and destruction of pathogens as well as the development of antibody responses. Furthermore, even when responding T cells have...

Functional and structural characterization of phage infection protein (Pip) in Lactococcus lactis

Creator:: Ngo, Hang
Abstract:: This thesis describes an analysis of the structure/function relationship of the phage infection protein (Pip) in Lactococcus lactis. Pip is a protein required for phage infection of L. lactis exclusively by phage c2 species. Pip, which shares no significant homology to previously studied proteins, contains 6 hydrophobic regions; one residing...

Interactions between microbial dynamics, water flow, and solute transport in unsaturated porous media

Creator:: Yarwood, Rockie R.
Abstract:: Bioremediation in the vadose zone is unpredictable because of poor understanding of factors influencing microbial growth in this environment. A lab-scale experimental system was developed to examine, noninvasively, interactions between microbial growth, water flow, and solute transport in unsaturated porous media. Measurements of microbial colonization, and its impact on hydrology,...

Identification and analysis of vaccinia virus acylproteins

Creator:: Hansen, Scott G.
Abstract:: Vaccinia virus (VV) encodes at least six proteins that are modified by the addition of a 14-carbon saturated fatty acid through an amide linkage and at least eight proteins that are modified post-translationally by the addition of a 16-carbon saturated fatty acid through linkage to cysteine residues. These post-translational modifications...
