Development of a colorimetric test kit to determine enzymatically produced pyruvic acid in sweet onions

Creator:: Merrill, Dawn C.
Abstract:: Sweet onions are valued for their unique flavor and praised for their health and dietary character. Onion sweetness is perceived as the degree of pungency decreases. Pungency can be quantitatively determined in onions by measuring enzymatically produced pyruvic acid. The onion industry quantifies a sweet onion as one having a...

Identifying microRNAs by automated phylogenetic and structural analysis

Creator:: Smith, Daniel P.
Abstract:: Motivation: It can take considerable amounts of time and effort to use existing computational tools to analyze a small RNA sequence for the purpose of determining if it is characteristic of microRNA. It is similarly tedious to search for homologs to known microRNA sequences in the rapidly growing collection of...

Laboratory studies of growth conditions of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) with international considerations to shellfish-associated illnesses in South Korea

Creator:: Lee, Jeehye
Abstract:: Vibrio parahaemolyticus, a naturally occurring halophilic pathogen, is seasonally abundant in marine and estuarine environments. It is also the leading cause of gastroenteritis in humans world-wide. Numerous outbreak incidences associated with the pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus contaminations in oyster products have raised public-health concerns as well as economic challenges to the...

Immunohistochemistry Studies of Tumor Necrosis Factor Αlpha and Interferon Gamma Expression in Pseudocapillaria tomentosa Infected and Uninfected Zebrafish

Creator:: Lo, Lalee C.
Abstract:: Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF α) and interferon gamma (IFN γ) were initially recognized as inflammatory mediators produced by immune cells in response to infectious agents or foreign material. (1,5) However, over the past decade much research in mammalian species has indicated that these proteins also play key roles in...

Characterization of a Sporulation-Specific Kinase in Clostridium perfringens

Creator:: Danielson, Bryan
Abstract:: Clostridium perfringens type A isolates produce the spore-specific enterotoxin, CPE, upon sporulation in the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals. Spo0A is a response regulator representing the major transcription factor for sporulation initiation in C. perfringens. In Bacillus subtilis, a multicomponent phosphorelay involving five histidine kinases (KinA-KinE), the intermediate response...

“SeW: A Search for Selenosulfide Bonding” and “Severity of Damage Inflicted on Intercellular Disulfide Bonds as a Result of UV Radiation”

Creator:: Dutcher, Kendall
Abstract:: Part 1: White muscle disease (WMD), a degenerative muscle disease brought on by a deficiency of the essential trace nutrient selenium, is thought to be mediated by the protein Selenoprotein W (SeW). In its relationship with WMD, SeW, like many selenoproteins, binds to glutathione, serving some purpose in redox mechanisms...

Effects of land management on carbon and nitrogen in soils from New Zealand

Creator:: Holcomb, Jess
Abstract:: The ability of soils to store large quantities of carbon (C) makes them an important factor in the global C cycle. Small changes within soil C can lead to large changes in atmospheric C. Land management practices can influence the amount of C that is stored within the soil and...

Antibiotic Resistance Gene Transfer in Oysters as a Result of Fecal Pollution

Creator:: Cooper, Rebecca
Abstract:: Antibiotic resistance is an increasing problem in many species of bacteria today, with pathogens an important focus. Fecal contamination of shellfish is already a concern due to potential pathogens. This report examines the possibility of resistance gene transfer between microbes, due to fecal bacteria, within the oyster. In this study,...

Studies on a transgenic approach to decrease gliadin content in wheat

Creator:: Bell, Shannon M.
Abstract:: Celiac disease, an autoimmune response triggered by the consumption of seed storage proteins of cereals, affects an estimated 1% of the human population. In the case of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), one of the world’s most consumed cereals, alcohol-soluble proteins, the gliadins, have been identified as the allergy-eliciting agents. Previous...

The toxicogenetic effects of a chitosan based hemostatic control patch in rat models

Creator:: Colburn, Andrew J.
Abstract:: Chitosan based hemorrhage control dressings provide effective external hemorrhage control while having few side effects. Known residual contaminants present in chitosan formulations include endotoxins and proteins known to stimulate gene expression in the liver. This study investigated gene expression in the liver using rat bio-compatibility models to gain knowledge regarding...
