Importance of TLR2 and TLR4 signaling against M. abscessus infection of macrophages and use of mycobacteriophage genomics toward understanding some of the aspects of phage therapy

Creator:: Kapoor, Hannah A.
Abstract:: Mycobacterium abscessus (MAB) is an opportunistic pathogen responsible for infections in immunocompromised or immunosuppressed patients. Even with long-term treatment with multiple antibiotics, MAB pulmonary infections have high rates of treatment failure. Within the host, MAB is phagocytosed by key innate immune cells macrophages. The TLR2 and TLR4 are two critical...

Effects of Yeast Type and Environmental Factors on Kombucha Fermentation

Creator:: Julianna, Winding
Abstract:: Kombucha is a fermented sweet tea beverage of Asian origin which has become popular in the West due to its distinct flavor and possible health benefits. Kombucha is fermented by inoculating sweet tea with yeast and bacteria until a pellicle, referred to as a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and...

Insight into the regulation of quorum sensing antiactivator genes qteE and qslA in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Creator:: Lawless, Finn
Abstract:: Ubiquitous pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa coordinates population-wide activation of virulence genes through quorum sensing (QS), where individuals transition from solo to social behaviors to benefit the population. QS is complex and mechanisms vary from species to species, but the concept is common to the bacterial world and has implications in various...

VOC Emisions and Categorization in Axenic Growth Conditions by Phaeodactylum tricornutum

Creator:: Thompson, Douglas A.
Abstract:: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) play an integral role in climate change and as a carbon source for organisms living in a marine environment. These compounds have many sources, but the impacts of biogenically produced VOCs is not fully known. Phaeodactylum tricornutum was studied under axenic ideal growth conditions to determine...

Freshwater prokaryotic and eukaryotic diversity of the Oregon Willamette River basin

Creator:: Hoyle, Marilee C.
Abstract:: The wellbeing of the Willamette basin in Oregon depends on the river ecosystem’s microbial communities, which control primary production and the biological processing of nutrients, pollutants, and organic matter. Yet, only a few studies have investigated the diversity of the microbial communities of the Willamette basin. This paper examines how...

Strain-specific effects of the herbicide RoundUp on diverse natural isolates of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Creator:: Taggard, Savannah K.
Abstract:: The safety of the chemical glyphosate, the active ingredient in the herbicide RoundUpTM, has been questioned on numerous occasions. Previous studies suggest that glyphosate-containing herbicides have deleterious effects on a variety of organisms; other studies suggest that these effects may be minor, transient, or non-existent altogether. Proper maintenance of microbial...

Fungal endophytes as source to combat bacterial infections

Creator:: Green, Jaimie R
Abstract:: Endophytes, foliage inhabiting fungi, are an unexplored source of fungal biodiversity and a potential resource for the production of bioactive natural products. In this research, leaf tissues from the species Arbutus menziesii, Rhododendron macrophyllum and the genus, Ilex and Salix were collected for the isolation of endophytic fungi. Fungal extracts...

The Generation of a Zebrafish Microbial Culture Collection to Facilitate Mechanistic Understanding of Host-Microbe Interactions

Creator:: VanderHoek, Zoe K.
Abstract:: A rapidly expanding body of evidence suggests that relationships exist between the microbiome and vertebrate health and disease. The zebrafish is a frequently utilized model organism to support this claim. Specifically, its gut microbiome is an advantageous resource for the study of microbiome health and diversity. While it is an...

Utilization of structure-activity-relationship for predicting chemical toxicity in primary human lung cells

Creator:: Galbreath, Amanda
Abstract:: There is a growing need to establish alternative approaches for assessing hazard from chemical exposure compared to the traditional method of animal testing. Approaches that relate chemical structure to biological activity are gaining acceptance in the field as in silico methods for characterizing and predicting chemical toxicity. In this study,...

Prevalence of Canine Brucellosis in the United States

Creator:: Douglas, Lisa
Abstract:: Brucella canis is a zoonotic proteobacterium causing brucellosis in dogs and other wild canidae. It is primarily spread to the fetus through the placenta, to other dogs through fetal fluids and vaginal discharge after abortion, and to mating partners through vaginal and seminal fluids. Transmission to other dogs can also...
