Flux Balance Analysis of Synechocystis PCC 6803.

Creator:: Elder, Robert M.
Abstract:: In order to improve photosynthetic hydrogen production, initial work has begun on a flux balance analysis of Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803, a model H2-producing organism. The mathematical model developed includes reactions relevant to photoautotrophic growth: glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, the Calvin cycle, the photosynthetic electron transport chain, the...

Exposure to the Mycotoxin Zearalenone Impairs Embryonic Development in Zebrafish

Creator:: Sidebotham, Nicole A.
Abstract:: A study was conducted to evaluate the developmental toxicity of three commonly detected mycotoxins in food (deoxynivalenol, patulin, and zearalenone) using the zebrafish (Danio rerio) model. Mycotoxin exposures were carried out at five concentrations (0.0064, 0.064, 0.64, 6.4, and 64 μM). Morphological and photomotor screenings were conducted at 24 hours...

Lionfish Prey Preference between Native Basslets

Creator:: Anderson, Emily R.
Abstract:: The lionfish (Pterois volitans) is a successful invasive predator with large impacts on native fish populations in the western Atlantic. Lionfish predation may affect competition between prey species so it is important to understand whether lionfish display preferences between prey species.

Two Advances in Practical Alternative Energy: Thermotolerant Hydrogenase Concentration and Methane Hydrate Grain Size Proxies.

Creator:: Sullivan, Nichole D.
Abstract:: Methane hydrates and biohydrogen are two disparate subjects that are of interest in the growing field of alternative energy research. However, before commercial use becomes a viable option, each has challenges that need to be overcome. Methane hydrates require large investments of time and capital to locate. In this thesis,...

Systematic review of residual toxicity studies of pesticides to bees and comparison to language on pesticide labels using data from residual toxicity studies and USEPA published values

Creator:: Swanson, Leah
Abstract:: BACKGROUND. Residues of pesticides on crops can result in mortality to foraging bees. The likelihood of mortality can be mitigated by applying pesticides in the evening so that their residues dissipate by the following morning when bees resume foraging. The dissipation rates of different pesticides, or their residual toxicity, is...

Weight watching: Morphometric indices of ontogenetic and reproductive stages in Weddell seals

Creator:: Monnin, Mee-ya A.
Abstract:: We investigated ontogenetic changes in body morphology of Weddell seals (Leptonychotes weddellii) using three three-dimensional (3D) photogrammetry, to estimate surface areas and body volumes for 42 Weddell seals. We sampled ten weaned pups, twelve juveniles (age one or two years), 11 non-breeding adult females, and 9 adult females who had...
