  • Microbiology of basalts targeted for deep geological carbon sequestration : field observations and laboratory experiments

    Creator:
    Lavalleur, Heather J.
    Abstract:
    With rising concentrations of CO₂ in the Earth's atmosphere causing concern about climate change, many solutions are being presented to decrease emissions. One of the proposed solutions is to sequester excess CO₂ in geological formations such as basalt. The deep subsurface is known to harbor much of the microbial biomass...

  • Bacterial pathogens and associated toxins involved in erythrophore cell aggregation

    Creator:
    Hutchison, Janine R.
    Abstract:
    Current detection methods for bacterial contamination rely on structure based detection of proteins and nucleic acids. While these methods are easy to use and reliable, they cannot evaluate the toxicity of a sample and the potential to cause disease. Previously, erythrophore cells derived from Betta splendens had been suggested as...

  • Characterization of Sporulation and Germination Genes in Clostridium perfringens

    Creator:
    Talukdar, Prabhat Kumar
    Abstract:
    Clostridium perfringens is a Gram-positive, anaerobic, spore-forming bacterium that can produce as many as 17 different toxins and are responsible to cause a wide array of gastrointestinal (GI) and histotoxic diseases in humans and animals. As individual strains produce a subset of these toxins, C. perfringens strains can be classified...

  • Clostridium perfringens sporulation and gliding motility

    Creator:
    Huang, I-Hsiu
    Abstract:
    Clostridium perfringens type A isolates, an anaerobic enterotoxigenic spore forming bacterium, are the third leading cause of food-borne disease in the United States. Factors that contribute to the virulence of C. perfringens include the ability of the bacterium to form heat resistant spores and to produce an enterotoxin (CPE). Although...
