Light quality manipulation for the solvent extraction of phycocyanin from Oregon freshwater cyanobacteria

Creator:: Gregor, Katelin
Abstract:: Phycocyanin, a photosynthetic pigment-protein complex produced by cyanobacteria, has critical value in the medical field at high purity. Costs associated with the extraction of this pigment are high, emphasizing the importance of optimal growth conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate potential commercial producers of phycocyanin by evaluating...

Cloning, expression and purification of gene products involved in peptidoglycan synthesis for Chlamydia trachomatis

Creator:: LeBlang, Joy
Abstract:: Chlamydiae are obligate intracellular bacterial pathogens with a unique biphasic life cycle that consists of an infectious but non-dividing form, called elementary bodies (EB), and a noninfectious but metabolically active form, called reticulate bodies (RB). Chlamydia has an unusual process of cell division of which still remains uncharacterized subject matter;...

A Needs Assessment of Social Emotional Learning Integration in Pre-College STEM Education at OSU

Creator:: Rodriguez Cardoso, Metzin A.
Abstract:: STEM education is delivered to K12 audiences by Pre-college Programs across the nation, many of which serve underrepresented and underserved students as part of their core missions. While there is robust attention to STEM curriculum development and college connection events in such programs, few have social-cultural aspects of learning as...

Chromosome visualization in a temperate anemone, Anthopleura elegantissima

Creator:: Shaffer, Lucy J.
Abstract:: Anthopleura elegantissima (Cnidaria: Anthozoa) is an emerging model organism for studying the endosymbiotic relationship between dinoflagellate (genus Symbiodinium) and the cnidarian host. To be developed as a model organism, more genetic resources, like integrated genome and linkage map, are needed. An important validation for developing genomic resources is chromosome number....

Unprecedented Retreat of Columbia Glacier Relative to the Last Millennium

Creator:: Kilmer, Zoe
Abstract:: Columbia Glacier, Alaska’s most rapidly retreating body of ice, provides a compelling insight into the fragile state of tidewater glaciers worldwide. Catastrophic retreat of the glacier’s terminal ice margin began in 1978 when contact was lost with its stabilizing terminal moraine shoal. Since this time, Columbia Glacier has lost ~20...

Analysis of boscalid resistance of isolates of Botrytis cinerea

Creator:: Villanueva, Brenda
Abstract:: Succinate dehydrogenase (Sdh) inhibitor fungicides, such as boscalid, are effective for the management of gray mold caused by the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea. Unfortunately, resistance to boscalid was common among isolates of the pathogen from small fruits grown in Oregon. Boscalid-resistance is commonly associated with mutations in Sdh, especially in...

Native wildlife species (Pseudacris regilla) utilizing invasive-dominated habitat in a highly disturbed ecosystem

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...

Repression of DNA Mismatch Repair (MMR) in Arabidopsis thaliana through Dominant-Negative MMR Proteins

Creator:: Mohamed, Aly
Abstract:: The highly conserved multi-protein mismatch repair (MMR) system is known for its ability to correct post replication errors in genomic DNA. A hallmark of MMR deficiency in all organisms is microsatellite instability. The initiating proteins in the eukaryotic MMR system are hetrodimers formed with an integral MSH2 subunit and one...

Combinational Effects of Retinoid-X-Receptor α (RXRα) Ablation with Oncogenic Mutations Cdk4[Superscript R24C/R24C] or N-Ras[Superscript Q61K/Q61K] after Ultraviolet Radiation Induced Melanoma Development, Combinational Effects of Retinoid-X-Receptor α (RXRα) Ablation with Oncogenic Mutations Cdk4R24C/R24C or N-RasQ61K/Q61K after Ultraviolet Radiation Induced Melanoma Development

Creator:: Sherman, Anna
Abstract:: Summary Recent research has identified Retinoid-X-Receptorα (RXRα), a nuclear receptor involved in ligand mediated transcription, as having a protective function against the malignant transformation of melanocytes after treatment with chemical carcinogens. This study used mice selectively lacking keratinocytic RXRα in combination with an oncogenic mutation, either Cdk4[Superscript R24C/R24C] or N-Ras[Superscript...

Preliminary Evidence that the Microbial Community may Produce Aliphatic Constituents and Induce Soil Water Repellency as a Response to Desiccation

Creator:: Chilcote, Emma T.
Abstract:: Soil water repellency is one cause of rill soil erosion and overland flow that results in the loss of fertile topsoil. Previous research suggests that since microbial growth depends on temperature/moisture and follows diurnal and seasonal cycles, a biological mechanism would be able to explain the observed seasonality and climate...
