Natural Products Discovery from Unique Microbial Habitats

Creator:

Gallegos, David A.

Abstract:

Marine natural products possess an abundance of diverse chemical scaffolds with unique biological activities. By targeting unusual or unique microbial environments within varying marine ecologies we can continue to discover novel chemistry with potentially new molecular targets. The research presented here is focused on exploring unusual chemical ecologies and the...

Genetic diversity of benthic marine cyanophage as revealed by sequence analysis of various phage marker genes

Creator:

Vallota-Eastman, Alec

Abstract:

Cyanophage are viruses that infect cyanobacteria, photosynthetic microorganisms which are known to produce several anticancer and antibacterial chemical compounds. Cyanophage are significant members of microbial communities in marine and freshwater environments. There has been significant difficulty inventorying marine and freshwater cyanophage, however, due to the difficulty in cultivating their hosts....
