A genomic and proteomic characterization of the first cultured oligotrophic marine Gammaproteobacterium from the SAR92 clade

Creator:: Mellbye, Brett L.
Abstract:: High-throughput culturing (HTC) consisting of extinction culturing in autoclaved seawater has led to the isolation and characterization of many novel strains of oligotrophic marine bacteria. Strain HTCC 2207 was isolated from the Oregon coast by the HTC method. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that this strain...

Establishing Caenorhabditis elegans as a model for Mycobacterium avium subspecieshominissuis infection and intestinal colonization

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...

A Comparative Analysis of Rodent Species Shows Oxidative Stress Resilience and HSP70 Expression Levels Correlate with Species Longevity

Creator:: Sarker, Minhazur R.
Abstract:: Researchers of healthy aging have determined trends between a species’ body mass and its maximal life span (MLSP). Actual MLSPs are then compared to predicted MLSPs and reported as a longevity quotient (LQ). Long-lived mammals, such as humans and naked mole rats (NMR), have LQs ranging from 5.0 to 10.0,...

“Don’t Choke ‘Em, Smoke ‘Em” : Lloyd “Tony” Stevenson and the Long Reach of History in “Post-Racial” Portland

Creator:: Ewens, Elise N.
Abstract:: Despite Portland’s progressive reputation, the response of city officials, police officers, and the community as a whole to the killing of the black man, Lloyd Stevenson, in 1985 at the hands of Portland police, demonstrates that the long racially discriminatory history of Oregon shaped public policy and popular thought about...

Contribution of native plasmids to fitness of Pantoea vagans C9-1, a biological control agent for fire blight of apple and pear

Creator:: Klein, Jeannie M.
Abstract:: Pantoea vagans C9-1 (C9-1) is a biological control agent sprayed onto apple and pear trees during bloom for suppression of fire blight, a devastating bacterial disease caused by Erwinia amylovora. Prior bioinformatics studies of C9-1 focused on predicted phenotypes associated with the three native megaplasmids, pPag1, pPag2, and pPag3, and...

Exploring phylogeny of Rhodococcus fascians isolates using 16S ribosomal DNA sequence analysis

Creator:: Sandberg, Eva Song
Abstract:: Rhodococcus fascians is a Gram-positive, pleiomorphic actinomycete that causes leafy gall formation in a wide range of plant hosts. This particular phytopathogen has been a focus of research at the Oregon State University Plant Clinic, a diagnostic laboratory. Phylogeny of R. fascians isolates obtained from Plant Clinic submissions was determined...

Nonmedical prescription stimulant use: exploring student perceptions and university response

Creator:: Foss, Austyn
Abstract:: This thesis explores trends and perceptions surrounding nonmedical use of prescription stimulants by university students throughout the United States. Furthermore, this study evaluated how universities in Oregon have responded to increased rates of nonmedical prescription stimulant use on campuses across the country. The following research questions are addressed: 1) What...

Mining Public Microbiome Datasets to Identify Specific Microbial Taxa Associated with Anxiety-Related Disorders

Creator:: Martin, Austin N.
Abstract:: Over the last ten years, clinical, pre-clinical and animal studies have shown associations between the microbiota and neurological functions. Recent work by the scientific community on the gut-microbiome-brain axis have revealed that gut dysbiosis and specific microbial taxa are associated with a myriad of neurological conditions, such as autism spectrum...

The Effects of the Immunity Factor Relish on Aging Phenotypes in Drosophila melanogaster

Creator:: Kumar, Nandita
Abstract:: Aging is a complex biological phenomenon that alters many different physiological processes. Although many age-related phenotypes, such as neurodegeneration, weakening circadian rhythms, and inflammaging, are well-studied, the links between them are not. To elucidate these links we created an inflammation-like state in Drosophila melanogaster by overexpressing Relish (Rel), an NFκB...

A Comparative Study between Mental Health of Homeless Populations in the United States and Spain

Creator:: Helman, Talia
Abstract:: Many people around the world suffer from a mental illness, and too few receive the help they need. Mental illness is especially prevalent among the homeless. Homelessness is represented in all ages, ethnicities, and genders, and is especially represented among first world countries such as the United States and Spain....
