  • An investigation of carbon and nitrogen metabolism through a genomic analysis of the genus Nitrobacter

    Creator:
    Starkenburg, Shawn R.
    Abstract:
    The chemolithoautotrophic nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) participate in the biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen by catalyzing and conserving energy from the oxidation of nitrite (NO₂-) to nitrate (NO₃-) via a nitrite oxidoreductase (NXR). The main objective of this work was to comparatively annotate and analyze the genome sequences of Nitrobacter winogradskyi...

  • Molecular and cellular characterization of the intracellular phenotype of Mycobacterium avium

    Creator:
    Early, Julie V.
    Abstract:
    Mycobacterium avium cause disseminated disease in immunocompromised people such as AIDS patients. Subsequent to crossing the intestinal epithelium, M. avium thrive within vacuoles in macrophages. The bacteria exhibit a different, more invasive, phenotype after being in macrophages compared to M. avium from laboratory conditions. We hypothesized that this intracellular phenotype...

  • Quorum sensing gene regulation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

    Creator:
    Gupta, Rashmi
    Abstract:
    Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen that infects immunocompromised individuals such as those suffering from burns or the genetic disorder cystic fibrosis. This organism utilizes a cell-cell communication mechanism known as quorum sensing (QS) to coordinate virulence gene expression and biofilm formation. It has three interconnected QS systems, namely...
