Abstract:: Isothiocyanates (ITCs) are produced by roots in a variety of agricultural plants, such as those within the Brassicaceae family. ITCs act as fumigants, and are used to control microbial plant pathogens by adding brassica-origin seed meal to soil prior to replanting. However, there is suggestion that the presence of residual...

Abstract:: In recent decades the habitat of North American beaver (Castor canadensis) has expanded from boreal forests into pan-Arctic tundra ecosystems. It is unknown how the advance of beavers into Arctic watersheds will impact microbial communities responsible for the mineralization of organic matter (OM), which has implications for carbon cycling. To...

Abstract:: Toxin production by cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) in freshwater systems has lasting ecological and human impacts. Nutrients, light availability, hydrology, and microbial community composition impact the frequency and intensity of toxic cyanoHABs. Climate change will exacerbate toxic cyanoHABs, making real time and predictive monitoring a vital tool for managing...

Abstract:: Plasma membranes isolated from a yeast sterol auxotroph (RD5-R) grown on 1,5, and 15 pg m1⁻¹ exogenous concentrations of sterol showed no discontinuity in plots of steady-state fluorescence anisotropy. Liposomes constructed from phospholipid and sterol extracted from RD5-R grown on different sterols indicated exogenously supplied sterol modulated cellular phospholipids such...

Abstract:: Ceratonova shasta is an obligate endoparasite of salmonid fish that is endemic to the Pacific Northwest of North America. The parasite has a complicated lifecycle with two distinct spore stages and two obligate hosts, a salmonid and a freshwater annelid. Myxospores released from infected salmonid hosts, infect Manayunkia occidentalis (freshwater...

Abstract:: The virulence of selected isolants of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) were differentiated and correlated with electrophoretic mobilities of virion structural proteins by sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A type 1 electropherotype of IHNV was more virulent for kokanee salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) and a type 2 strain more virulent for...

Abstract:: Mycobacteriosis is a common disease of laboratory zebrafish (Danio rerio). Different infection patterns occur in zebrafish depending on mycobacterial species. Mycobacterium marinum and M. haemophilum produce virulent infections associated with high mortality, whereas M. chelonae is more wide spread and not associated with high mortality. Identification of mycobacterial infections to...
