Drug Discovery from Diverse Bacteria – Bioactivity-guided Isolation of Known and New Metabolites

Creator:: Zhu, Chenxi
Abstract:: Exploring bioactive natural products has contributed largely to clinically approved drugs we have been using over the last 100 years. Especially among the anti-infective drugs, around 70% of currently used antibiotics were discovered or derived from microbial secondary metabolites, among them compounds like vancomycin, chloramphenicol, and erythromycin. Facing the unavoidable...

Magmatic processes beneath mid-ocean ridges : insights from mineral and glass chemistry in plagioclase ultraphyric basalts

Creator:: Lange, Amy E.
Abstract:: Prior to eruption at mid-ocean ridges, melts must travel through >6 km of crust from their origin in the mantle. The final composition of the melts is dependent on both the melting conditions and magmatic processes within the crust. While mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) glasses are commonly used to infer...

Sensory, compositional and texture profile analysis of high-pressure treated fresh renneted cheese - Queso Fresco style

Creator:: Sandra
Abstract:: A sensory method was developed to determine cheese texture by hand evaluation. Cheese sensory evaluation was conducted by panelists (n=8) on four commercial samples in duplicates. Standards, descriptors, methods of each attribute evaluation, sample size, and ballot were developed based on panelists' consensus. Fifteen total attributes, divided into five groups,...

Evaluating the Effects of Alleyway Management on the Performance of Dry-Farmed Pinot noir Grown in Different Soils

Creator:: Lange, Mathew
Abstract:: Vineyards in Oregon’s Willamette Valley are predominately planted to perennial grass cover in the alleyways of vineyards. This grass cover is grown to increase worker and equipment traction, as well as reduce erosion and manage vine vegetative vigor. However, with increasing frequencies of drought and warming temperatures, the use of...
