Entrapment of Micro-Algae in Modified Alginate Beads for Oxygen and Nutrient Source

Creator:: Hughson, Jason D.
Abstract:: Presented here is an investigation and comparison of two entrapment methods of algae. Conventional calcium alginate bead entrapment is compared to a recently described modified bead entrapment method, utilizing poly(ethylene glycol) and calcium alginate, which results in void or capillary formation within the beads. It is shown that algal growth...

Exploring phylogeny of Rhodococcus fascians isolates using 16S ribosomal DNA sequence analysis

Creator:: Sandberg, Eva Song
Abstract:: Rhodococcus fascians is a Gram-positive, pleiomorphic actinomycete that causes leafy gall formation in a wide range of plant hosts. This particular phytopathogen has been a focus of research at the Oregon State University Plant Clinic, a diagnostic laboratory. Phylogeny of R. fascians isolates obtained from Plant Clinic submissions was determined...

Pathogenic Mechanisms of Cancer Causing hMLH1 Mutations

Creator:: O'Donnell, Edmond Francis
Abstract:: DNA mismatch repair (MMR) is an evolutionary conserved process that functions to maintain genomic integrity through the correction of mismatches that have escaped proofreading. Mutations in the MMR gene Mlh1 are associated with approximately 50% of all cases of Lynch syndrome, a hereditary predisposition to colorectal cancer, through varying and...

Patterns of age and growth in young-of-year rockfish, sebastes spp., along the Oregon coast

Creator:: Young, Thomas
Abstract:: Rockfish of the genus Sebastes are important components of Oregon reef communities. I examined patterns of age and growth in young-of-year rockfish across two nested spatial scales – local and regional – along the Oregon coast. Using otolith microstructural examination, I examined the relative importance of local versus regional factors...

DNA UV damage-related control of ribonucleotide reductase : possible relationship to mutagenesis and the incidence of and attitudes toward skin cancer in several western nations

Creator:: Stenberg, John C.
Abstract:: Two strains of Escherichia coli were studied to determine the effect of constitutive expression of the SOS DNA damage repair response on the activity of ribonucleotide reductase. Activity of the reductase and cellular deoxynucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) pools were both determined before and after exposure of the cells to ultraviolet radiation....
