  • Genetic variation of chlamydial Inc proteins

    Creator:
    Viratyosin, Wasna
    Abstract:
    Genomic analysis is a new approach for the characterization and investigation of novel genes, gene clusters, the function of uncharacterized proteins, and genetic diversity in microorganisms. These approaches are important for the study of chlamydiae, a system in which several genomes have been sequenced but in which techniques for genetic...

  • Development and disease of opakapaka (Pristiopomoides filamentosus) larvae in culture

    Creator:
    Keafer, Briana
    Abstract:
    Opakapaka (Pristipomoides filamentosus) is a snapper (family Lutjanidae) native to the waters around Hawaii. Recent population declines of this commercially important species have increased interest in the culture of this fish. Survival of this fish through the larval period in culture has been consistently low, usually not exceeding 2%. The...

  • Clostridium perfringens sporulation and gliding motility

    Creator:
    Huang, I-Hsiu
    Abstract:
    Clostridium perfringens type A isolates, an anaerobic enterotoxigenic spore forming bacterium, are the third leading cause of food-borne disease in the United States. Factors that contribute to the virulence of C. perfringens include the ability of the bacterium to form heat resistant spores and to produce an enterotoxin (CPE). Although...

  • Advances in expression of heterologous protein products by Streptococcus gordonii

    Creator:
    Warren, Travis Kent
    Abstract:
    Streptococcus gordonii is a bacterial species that naturally colonizes the oral cavity of most healthy humans. It resides in the mouth as an adherent to dental surfaces and, with few exceptions, does not cause disease in individuals it inhabits. It possesses qualities that encourage its use as a vector to...

  • Analysis of Betta splendens erythrophore responses to Bacillus cereus cultured in different media

    Creator:
    Austin, Melissa J.
    Abstract:
    Biological agents and their products commonly cause foodborne illnesses. In the United States it is estimated that there are over 76 million cases of foodborne illnesses each year, resulting in an economic loss of approximately $40 billion. These high figures demonstrate the need for bioassays that display a rapid and...

  • Translation of dengue virus RNA : influence of the untranslated regions on 5´-cap dependent translation and ribosome scanning

    Creator:
    Chiu, Wei-Wei
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, I studied the translation of dengue virus RNA using a luciferase reporter gene system in Vero cells. The dengue reporter mRNA construct, which harbors 5´-terminal viral nts and 3´-terminal nts, could be translated efficiently compared to an alpha globin reporter construct. The 5´-cap structure and 3´-untranslated region...
