Role of Plc in the germination of Clostridium perfringens food poisoning isolate SM101

Creator:: Bond, Colton B.
Abstract:: Clostridium perfringens is the causative agent of gas gangrene and the 3rd most common cause of type A food borne disease in the United States. Critical to the pathogenicity of C. perfringens is the ability of this bacterium to produce highly resistant, metabolically dormant spores that can resume metabolic function...

Photosynthetic Energy Allocation Strategies of Thalassiosira pseudonana During Light Limited Growth

Creator:: Fisher, Nerissa L.
Abstract:: Photosynthetic energy allocation strategies were investigated in the marine diatom, Thalassiosira pseudonana, grown under a wide range of light limitation. Steady-state, continuous cultures were established at three light-limited growth rates. Simultaneous measurements of photosynthetic activity were made that targeted different points in photosynthetic energy flow from gross to net photosynthesis....

In vitro detection and typing of toxins produced by Clostridium botulinum types A and B by immunoelectrophoretic techniques

Creator:: Niedermeyer, Glenn John
Abstract:: Polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis of concentrated culture media which had supported growth of Clostridium botulinum types A and B was shown to be effective in separating the toxin molecules from hemagglutinating molecules. Since the hemagglutinins of the two types are immunologically identical and are present in toxin and toxoid preparations,...

A physiological approach to a rapid method for identifying C. botulinum

Creator:: Dyer, John Kaye
Abstract:: Disc gel electrophoresis of the vegatative cell -free extracts ofstrains of Clostridium botulinum types A, B, C, E, and F and therelated nontoxic group showed limited value as a means for identifyingthese closely related microorganisms, since separation,though not consistent in all cases, could only be based on the numberof protein...

A quantitative comparison of the incorporation of C¹⁴ labeled lipids and lipid precursors into Lee influenza virus

Creator:: McGregor, Sandy
Abstract:: A quantitative comparison was made of the incorporation of 14, C¹⁴ lipid compounds into Lee influenza virus. The compounds tested were either lipids reported to be present in the virus or precursors to virus lipid components. Infected chorioallantoic tissues were incubated in medium containing the C¹⁴ metabolites. The virus was...

Evaluation of a potential Chylamydia psittaci vaccine candidate using recombinant vaccinia virus encoding the infection-specific C. psittaci GPIC proteins IncA and TroA

Creator:: Werth, Eric P.
Abstract:: Members of the family Chlamydiae cause a wide range of diseases. Chlamydia trachomatis and C. pneumoniae are most commonly associated with human disease. C. psittaci and C. pecorum are largely animal pathogens, although C. psittaci can cause pneumonia in the elderly and immunocompromised. A vaccine against these pathogens is desirable,...

Purification and characterization of a DNA polymerase gamma from human trophoblast tissue

Creator:: Wong, Scott W.
Abstract:: DNA polymerase gamma has been purified over 67,500-fold from human trophoblast tissue. Purification was achieved through successive chromatographies on phosphocellulose, DEAE-cellulose, DNA-cellulose, and high pressure gel exclusion through Fractogel TSK HW55. This preparation yielded a specific activity of 81 units/mg of protein using the preferred template-primer, poly (A)-oligo (dT)₁₂₋₁₃. Analysis...

The Effect of Protein Nitration on Cell Survival Pathways in Schwann Cells

Creator:: Graumann, Oliver W.
Abstract:: Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is a genetic disorder caused by the inactivation of the merlin tumor suppressor gene. NF2 patients develop bilateral vestibular schwannomas (VS) and other nervous system tumors with no effective drug treatment option. In pathological conditions, including NF2, production of the oxidant peroxynitrite leads to protein tyrosine...

Identification of an aerotaxis transducer in Vibrio cholerae

Creator:: Boin, Markus A.
Abstract:: The ability to move towards favorable environmental conditions, called chemotaxis, is common among motile bacteria. In particular aerotaxis has been extensively studied in Escherichia coli. Three putative aer gene homologs were identified in the V. cholerae genome designated VCAer-1 (VC0512) VCAer-2 (VCA0658), and VCAer-3 (VCA0988). Deletion analyses indicated that only...

Molecular characterization of the MX genes of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Creator:: Trobridge, Grant David
Abstract:: The Mx protein family of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was characterized at the molecular level. With primers derived from a partial sequence of Perch (Perca fluviatis) Mx genomic DNA, a partial rainbow trout Mx genomic DNA sequence was obtained by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification. All salmonid fish investigated contained...
