Creator:: Molitor, Andrew
Abstract:: Glycosides are natural molecules found in many plants and hold potential to release new flavors and aromas into alcoholic beverages, particularly beer and wine. One way to free these flavors and aromas is by enzymatic hydrolysis catalyzed by βglucosidase. The activities of β-glucosidase are strain and species dependent in yeast...

Creator:: Epperly, Haley K.
Abstract:: The Pacific Treefrog (Pseudacris regilla) is commonly encountered throughout the Pacific Northwest and can be an indicator for ecosystem health. At each life stage P. regilla utilizes a different habitat and therefore it is important to understand habitat use at all life stages to properly manage the ecosystem, however, few...

Creator:: Ziaie, Navid
Abstract:: Mycobacterium avium subspecies hominissuis (MAH) causes potentially lethal opportunistic infections in immunocompromised individuals. Lack of a good animal model system currently hinders in vivo study of MAH virulence. Here we applied the tractable organism Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), as a surrogate host to study the virulence of MAH. Worms were...

Creator:: Porth, Lane D.
Abstract:: Water-soluble quantum dots obtained through ligand exchange are widely applicable for biological imaging and marking, LEDs, and photovoltaics. Lipoic acid (LA) was reduced to dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA) using 365-nm soft UV light in a process known as photoligation, and ligand exchange with dodecanethiol-capped CuInS₂-ZnS core-shell quantum dots occurred. The reaction...

Creator:: Sidebotham, Nicole A.
Abstract:: A study was conducted to evaluate the developmental toxicity of three commonly detected mycotoxins in food (deoxynivalenol, patulin, and zearalenone) using the zebrafish (Danio rerio) model. Mycotoxin exposures were carried out at five concentrations (0.0064, 0.064, 0.64, 6.4, and 64 μM). Morphological and photomotor screenings were conducted at 24 hours...
