Growth, survival, and antibiotic resistance transfer of Klebsiella in a botanical environment

Creator:: Yamamoto, Deborah Keiko
Abstract:: The ubiquitous presence of the coliform bacterium Klebsiella in botanical environments has been demonstrated. In this study, Klebsiella were found to multiply and colonize growing radish plants following contamination of seeds. All 29 cultures of Klebsiella tested from 5 different environments were capable of growth to 10⁶-10⁷ cells/gram of plant...

Development and disease of opakapaka (Pristiopomoides filamentosus) larvae in culture

Creator:: Keafer, Briana
Abstract:: Opakapaka (Pristipomoides filamentosus) is a snapper (family Lutjanidae) native to the waters around Hawaii. Recent population declines of this commercially important species have increased interest in the culture of this fish. Survival of this fish through the larval period in culture has been consistently low, usually not exceeding 2%. The...

Characteristics of two salmonid fish cell lines : glycolytic rates, CO₂ requirements and susceptibility to Reovirus and Reovirus-like agents

Creator:: Kleeman, Karl Terrence
Abstract:: The research presented in this thesis is concerned with the characterization of two salmonid cell lines, CSE 119 derived from embryos of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and STE 137 derived from embryos of steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri). The rates of glucose utilization and lactic acid production during the most active...

Establishment and dynamics of methane-oxidizing microbial communities in marine sediments

Creator:: Klasek, Scott A.
Abstract:: Marine sediments are vast sources and reservoirs of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Most of this methane is anaerobically oxidized by archaea before it can reach the overlying ocean, though the efficiency of this process often depends on methane fluxes and mechanisms of fluid transport. Anaerobic methanotrophic archaea, or ANME,...

Comparing Sediment Microbial Communities of Arctic Beaver Ponds to Tundra Lakes and Streams

Creator:: Shannon, Kelly
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...

Construction of a model organism for performing calcium carbonate precipitation in a porous media reactor

Creator:: Kaufman, Megan J.
Abstract:: Aquifers are an important storage location and source of fresh groundwater. They may become polluted by a number of contaminants including mobile divalent radionuclides such as strontium-90 which is a byproduct of uranium fission. A method for remediating such divalent radionuclides is sequestration through co-precipitation into calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate...

Comparative genomics of Vibrio and characterizing microbial communities at a shellfish hatchery

Creator:: Delgado, Hanna
Abstract:: Vibrio bacteria are commonly found in freshwater, marine, and estuarine environments. Members of this genus can exist in commensal relationships with marine animals or as planktonic bacteria, however, they are well known for their roles as pathogens towards humans and animals. In this dissertation, I investigated aspects of host-bacteria relationships...

B-cell heterogeneity in salmonids

Creator:: Irwin, Michael J.
Abstract:: Salmonid B lymphocytes were stimulated both in vivo and in vitro and shown to produce antibody specific for the immunogen. A passive hemolytic plaque assay was employed to demonstrate B cells producing specific antibody. Characterization of plaque forming cells (PFCs) involved sequential inhibition with a series of graded concentrations of...

The MAV_4644 dual-function channel protein with putative ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of Mycobacterium avium is required for virulence within host macrophages

Creator:: Lewis, Matthew S.
Abstract:: Mycobacterium avium subspecies hominissuis (MAH) is an opportunistic pathogen that is ubiquitous in the environment and often isolated from faucets and showerheads. MAH mostly infects humans with an underlying disease, such as chronic pulmonary disorder (COPD), cystic fibrosis (CF), or are immunocompromised, though infections in patients without concurrent disease are...

Investigation of Nematocyst Discharge in Parasitic Cnidarians (Myxozoa)

Creator:: Americus, Benjamin E.
Abstract:: Myxozoans are an enigmatic group of obligately parasitic, microscopic cnidarians. They diverged from their free-living relatives over 600 million years ago and have highly reduced genomes. However, they have retained nematocyst stinging cells which characterize the phylum Cnidaria. Free-living cnidarians utilize this cellular weaponry for defense and predation whereas the...
