Bacillus subtilis endospore coat protein solubilization methods for studying effects of high pressure precessing

Creator:: Gandhi, Kalpesh K.
Abstract:: Spores of foodborne pathogens such as Clostridium botulinum, Clostridium perfringens and Bacillus cereus are widely distributed in nature. Presence of those spores in food products, particularly C. botulinum spores in vacuum packed, ready-to-eat low-acid products, is a great safety concern. The research here described is a first effort towards understanding...

Rapid assay for Bacillus proteinases in raw milk as detected by a simple casein denaturation method

Creator:: Feijoo, Sergio C.
Abstract:: A casein agar diffusion method was developed to detect and quantify pertinent levels of proteinases produced in raw milk supplies by heat resistant Bacillus sporeformers. In order to optimize the required heat treatment conditions of raw milk samples, trials that involved a combination of different temperatures and times were evaluated....

Aging and oxidative damage to mitochondrial membrane proteins

Creator:: Tong, Tony T.
Abstract:: Mitochondria provide energy for biological cells to function, but this process is also a source of oxygen radicals that are capable of damaging nearby proteins. Mitochondrial protein damage can eventually lead to cell death, especially in the case of heart cells, where mitochondria are present in the highest concentrations. As...

Functional, structural and evolutionary analyses of the ferritin-like superfamily of proteins

Creator:: Cooley, Richard Bleier
Abstract:: The ferritin-like superfamily (FLSF) of proteins is composed of a wide variety of functionally diverse proteins involved in oxygen dependent metal-mediated electron transfer reactions. Their biological importance is exemplified by the fact FLSF proteins are found in almost every organism from all three domains of life. Their functions range from...

Genomic identification of candidate inclusion membrane proteins in Chlamydial species and microscopic analysis

Creator:: Blake, Nathanael A.
Abstract:: The Chlamydiaceae are a family of obligate intracellular bacteria with a unique biphasic developmental cycle. The replicating, metabolically active, intracellular phase bacteria (RBs) grow within a cellular vacuole know as the inclusion. Since the proteins the Chlamydiaceae secrete into this membrane are the means of host/parasite interaction, they have long...

Characterization of germinant receptors in Clostridium perfringens non-food-borne isolates

Creator:: Banawas, Saeed S.
Abstract:: C. perfringens is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, anaerobic pathogenic bacterium capable of causing a wide variety of diseases in both humans and animals. However, the two most common illnesses in humans are C. perfringens type A food poisoning (FP) and non-food-borne (NFB) gastrointestinal (GI) illnesses . These two major diseases are...

Physicochemical Properties of Frozen Fish Muscle as Affected by Trimethylamine-N-oxide demethylase (TMAOase)

Creator:: Lee, Jinhwan
Abstract:: Gadoid fish, like Alaska pollock and Pacific whiting, have a high level of trimethylamine-N-oxide demethylase (TMAOase) that catalyzes the breakdown of trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) to formaldehyde (FA) and dimethylamine (DMA) even during frozen storage. FA reacts with amino acid residues to promote covalent cross-links in the formation of inter- and intramolecular...

Characterization and Validation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae Proteins GmhAGC and NGO1985 as Molecular Targets for Development of Novel Anti-gonorrhea Therapeutic Interventions

Creator:: Wierzbicki, Igor H.
Abstract:: The sexually transmitted disease gonorrhea, caused by the Gram-negative bacterium and obligate human pathogen Neisseria gonorrhoeae, remains a significant health and economic burden worldwide. In the absence of a protective vaccine, antimicrobial agents are the only pharmacological intervention for patients with gonorrhea. However, due to the remarkable ability of gonococcus...

Hard spheres within classical density functional theory and Min proteins in Escherichia coli

Creator:: Schulte, Jeff B.
Abstract:: This thesis reports on computational research in two different areas. I first discuss the Min-protein system found within Escherichia coli. Following this I discuss an extended investigation into improving free energy functionals that are used within Classical Density Functional Theory in order to model water. Chapter 2 examines the dynamics...
