A comparative study of fish coloration and toxicant responses in a chromatophore cell-based biosensor

Creator:: Roach, Holly B.
Abstract:: Detection of both biological and chemical environmental toxicants is essential in the assessment of risk to human health. Cell-based biosensors are capable of activity- based detection of toxicity. Chromatophore cells, responsible for the pigmentation of poikilothermic animal, have shown immense potential as cell-based biosensors in the detection of a broad...

Host-pathogen Interactions of Respiratory RNA Viruses and the Application of Recombinase Polymerase Amplification for Viral Diagnostics

Creator:: Prescott, Meagan A.
Abstract:: Humans and viral disease are inextricably intertwined. Viral disease plays an immeasurable role in human life, from the disease and economic burden associated with every facet of contending with human viral disease, to managing the consequences of viral disease in organisms important to our food supply, economy, and entertainment. The...

Investigations of T cell costimulation and autoimmunity in mice, and development of flow cytometric methods to assess lymphocyte stimulation in dogs

Creator:: Weatherill, Amy R.
Abstract:: Proper immune function is indispensable, as failure to mount an immune response against a pathogen can lead to serious complications or even death. T cells act by enhancing the activation of phagocytic cells as well as the activation of B cells. Their widespread influence on an immune response makes optimal...

The role of Salmonella typhimurium type three secretion system (T3SS) and effector proteins in chromatophore cell response.

Creator:: Farhad, Mohammad
Abstract:: Bacterial contamination of food poses a great risk to human health worldwide. A chromatophore cell-based biosensor, utilizing B. splendens erythrophore cells, is an emerging technology that has shown potential to detect bacterial toxicity based on function-dependent mechanisms. Previous studies have investigated the response of erythrophore cells to foodborne pathogens, pesticides,...

Controlling Important Pathogens in Zebrafish (Danio rerio) : Assessing Cryopreservation Survival of Bacteria and Parasites and Clinical Sensitivity of Mycobacterial qPCR Assays

Creator:: Norris, Lauren J.
Abstract:: Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are one of the most commonly used animal models in biomedical research. Zebrafish resource facilities, like the Zebrafish International Resource Center (ZIRC) in Eugene, Oregon, are the main providers and keepers of numerous zebrafish wild-type, mutant, and transgenic lines. Although ZIRC maintains live zebrafish at various life...

Transconjugant analysis : the limitations on the use of sequence-specific endonucleases for plasmid identification

Creator:: Causey, Stuart Crowell
Abstract:: We have used the sequence-specific endonucleases Eco RI, Sma I, Bam HI, Hsu I and Hae III as identification tools in following the conjugal transfer of the well studied R plasmids Sa, R388, RP4 and R6K. Transfers were both intergenus and intragenus. Plasmid fingerprints were generated from both single and...

Characterization of antibiotic resistant enteric bacteria that contaminate vegetables

Creator:: Salama, Maysoon
Abstract:: Previous studies revealed the high incidence of drug resistant bacteria from foods. In this study, market vegetables were tested for their contamination with antibiotic resistant (ABR) enteric bacteria. A total of 402 bacterial strains from surface vegetables (e.g., lettuce) and 321 from root vegetables (e.g., carrots) were examined for their...

Impacts of microbial chemical interactions on marine plankton physiology

Creator:: Moore, Eric R.
Abstract:: The bioavailability of chemical compounds in the marine environment fundamentally influences the growth and physiology of microorganisms. Organic and inorganic chemicals that are produced by some marine plankton can be consumed by other plankton for energy production, growth, or to initiate essential physiological processes. Cultures of the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana,...

Chemical and Genetic Investigations of Toxic Freshwater Cyanobacterial Blooms for Improved Monitoring and Understanding of Lake Ecology

Creator:: Collart, Lindsay P.
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...
