Herbicide effects on Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus

Creator:

Wehr, Nancy Briggs

Abstract:

Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus is a small parasitic bacterium present in soil, mud, and aquatic habitats. Due to its lysis of Gramnegative bacteria, an important role in soil ecology has been suggested for this organism. A study of effects of herbicides upon Bdellovibrio might consequently be of considerable value. In this study...

Masters Thesis
Characterization of extracellular RNases of host dependent Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus 109 D

Creator:

Hazen, Ronald Eugene

Abstract:

The growth of bdellovibrios at the expense of the host organism involves the catabolism of host cell macromolecular components and the subsequent anabolistic incorporation into bdellovibrio progeny. Extracellular enzymes specific for the various substrates provided by the host cell are present. In this study the extracellular RNase of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus...

Determination of differential gene action in Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus using RNA-DNA hybridization techniques

Creator:

Reed, Margaret Ann

Abstract:

In an attempt to study the times in the lifecycle of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus at which various genes are transcribed, the patterns of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) syntheses were examined using two different types of hybridization systems. The hybridization system using membrane bound deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)...
