    Creator:
    Bellis, Emily S.
    Abstract:
    Mutualistic associations between corals and symbiotic microalgae of the genus Symbiodium power tropical reef ecosystems, hotspots of marine biodiversity that buffer coastlines, support tourism- and fisheries-based economies, and offer untapped potential for discovery of novel pharmaceutical compounds. However, reef ecosystems are declining at an alarming rate, in large part due...

  • Characterizing the Plant-Associated Symbionts, Rhodococcus and Agrobacterium

    Creator:
    Fuller, Skylar L.
    Abstract:
    Symbioses are a spectrum of interactions between organisms living in closeassociation. These intimate interactions range from mutualism, in which bothorganisms benefit, to parasitism, where one organism benefits at the expense ofthe other. Horizontal gene transfer is the acquisition of genes independent ofvertical transmission and demonstrably promotes the transition of bacteria...

  • Identification of some esterases of the green bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

    Creator:
    Putnam, Teryl Beebe
    Abstract:
    This investigation was conducted to differentiate the esterases in a water extract of freeze-dried green beans on the basis of inhibitor and substrate specificities. An attempt was made to classify these esterases according to the criteria used for animal esterases. Activity of the esterases was measured manometrically using the Gilson...

  • Characterizing the Roles of Dietary Sulforaphane in Human Health

    Creator:
    Atwell, Lauren Lee, 1984-
    Abstract:
    The consumption of cruciferous vegetables is associated with several health benefits, including cancer prevention. Many of these benefits are attributed to the phytochemical, sulforaphane (SFN), which is derived from cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and broccoli sprouts. These vegetables contain glucoraphanin (GFN), SFN’s precursor, which is converted to SFN by...
