  • Strain-specific effects of the herbicide RoundUp on diverse natural isolates of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Creator:
    Taggard, Savannah K.
    Abstract:
    The safety of the chemical glyphosate, the active ingredient in the herbicide RoundUpTM, has been questioned on numerous occasions. Previous studies suggest that glyphosate-containing herbicides have deleterious effects on a variety of organisms; other studies suggest that these effects may be minor, transient, or non-existent altogether. Proper maintenance of microbial...

  • Adaptation to long-term osmotic stress in a domesticated Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain

    Creator:
    Holman, Douglas S.
    Abstract:
    Osmotic stress is a common challenge faced by organisms in environments with variable salinity or aridity. Understanding the evolutionary mechanisms underlying adaptation to osmotic stress may have wide applications, including management of populations experiencing climate change, or engineering industrial organisms involved in processes such as fermentation. While Saccharomyces cerevisiae is...

  • Validation of Predicted Functional Transcription Factor Binding Sites in Arabidopsis thaliana

    Creator:
    Ozguc, Olivia R.
    Abstract:
    Gene expression is largely regulated by the binding of transcription factors to short sequences of DNA (transcription factor binding sites) to drive or repress transcription of an adjacent gene. Identifying the key transcription factor binding sites associated with a particular biological outcome provides an avenue for tailored transcriptional regulation in...

  • Prototyping of Thermoelectric Energy Harvesting Circuitry for IoT Devices

    Creator:
    Webb, Derek
    Abstract:
    Due to the advancement of incredibly low power microcontrollers and small form factor integrated circuits, energy harvesting can be considered as an alternative, low power source for remote ocean sensing and measurements. To demonstrate the effectiveness of harvesting thermoelectric energy contained in the temperature differential between ocean surface water and...

  • A Comparative Analysis of Mercury and Lead in Sindoor from the U.S. and Bangladesh

    Creator:
    Breen, Anna K.
    Abstract:
    Heavy metals have historically been popular for use in cosmetics manufacturing due to the colorful pigmentation of heavy metal compounds. In the case of sindoor, a cosmetic used by married Hindu women for religious purposes, mercury sulfide, lead tetroxide, and lead chromate are compounds suspected to still be involved in...

  • A Dive into the Pacific Fish Microbiome: Exploration of Antibiotics from a Unique Ecosystem

    Creator:
    Austin, Molly C.
    Abstract:
    With the rise of resistant bacterial pathogens, currently prescribed antibiotics are rendered useless. In recent years, marine natural products (MNPs) have emerged as novel sources for drug leads. The ocean is a complex environment where marine animals cohabitate with many, and sometimes harmful microorganisms and viruses, but resist infections. Developed...

  • Hydrogen for Heat: Utilizing Hydrogen for Long-Term Energy Storage in Northern Climates

    Creator:
    Villaverde, Gertrude
    Abstract:
    A long-term energy storage technology is necessary to utilize Oregon’s curtailed renewable energy, an issue the state faces, even with a low percentage of renewable energy in the energy mix. This report proposes a system design that details how hydrogen power-to-gas technology can be used in conjunction with the existing...

  • Adaptation to long-term osmotic stress in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Creator:
    Gosman, Andreea
    Abstract:
    An important goal of evolutionary biology is to identify the genetic mechanisms underlying phenotypes in organisms. Understanding adaptation to osmotic stress has many applications, since this stress affects almost all organisms on Earth. By studying the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae using experimental evolution, we can learn about genetic mechanisms driving...

  • Impact of pre-fermentation maceration techniques on yeast populations and color of Pinot noir wine

    Creator:
    Zook, Molly L.
    Abstract:
    The quality of red wine is primarily determined by the flavor, aroma, and color. A common wine making technique used to improve these characteristics is the pre-­‐fermentation maceration. In this study two pre-fermentation maceration techniques were used, one was a traditional cold soak and the second involved addition of dry...

  • Predicting Protein-Protein Interactions in a Cnidarian Model System

    Creator:
    Gregory, Dylan B.
    Abstract:
    The symbiotic sea anemone Exaiptasia diaphana (Aiptasia) is a model organism used to better understand cnidarian-algal symbiosis and coral bleaching (dysbiosis). Many biological processes are hypothesized to be involved in coral dysbiosis, and the innate immunity is a key area of interest. Rab proteins are small proteins with GTPase domains,...
