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...

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...

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...

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...

Metagenomics and metatranscriptomics of the leaf- and root-associated microbiomes of Zostera marina and Zostera japonica

Creator:: Wojahn, John Michael Adrian
Abstract:: A great deal of research has been focused on the microbiomes of terrestrial angiosperms (flowering plants), but much less research has been performed on the microbiomes of aquatic angiosperms (Turner et al. 2013). Eelgrass beds are extremely productive ecosystems that provide habitat for many marine organisms, such as fish, shellfish,...

Evaluation of Fusarium proliferatum Mycotoxin Profiles in Infected Garlic Cloves

Creator:: Rossi, Francesca
Abstract:: Fusarium proliferatum is a fungus found in soils which produces the mycotoxin group known as fumonisins. Of human concern due to hepato-, nephro- and neurotoxicity, the threat of fumonisins lies within several food items, including corn, wheat sorghum, asparagus and, more recently, garlic. Manifesting as ““garlic rot”,” F. proliferatum infection...

Light quality manipulation for the solvent extraction of phycocyanin from Oregon freshwater cyanobacteria

Creator:: Gregor, Katelin
Abstract:: Phycocyanin, a photosynthetic pigment-protein complex produced by cyanobacteria, has critical value in the medical field at high purity. Costs associated with the extraction of this pigment are high, emphasizing the importance of optimal growth conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate potential commercial producers of phycocyanin by evaluating...
