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...

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...

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...

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...

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 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...

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...

Development and Optimization of Medicinal Infused Hydrogel Patch and Cloth for the Treatment of Burn Patients

Creator:: Carpenter, Molly E.
Abstract:: Rapid and effective treatment of burn injuries is critical to prevent long term damage. Besides the pain associated with the burn injury due to damage and death of surrounding tissue and cells, there is a large risk for complications, particularly infection, following a burn injury. To address these risks, Meta...

Analyzing the molecular basis of increased enduracidin production in Streptomyces fungicidicus

Creator:: Herinckx, Molly A.
Abstract:: Enduracidin is an antibiotic produced by Streptomyces fungicidicus that is effective against Gram-positive bacteria. Previous work identified seventy-eight mutations in an S. fungicidicus strain that produces a significantly higher level of enduracidin than the wild type strain, ATCC 21013. Eleven mutations were analyzed individually to identify those that may contribute...

Mothers’ anxiety induced by COVID-19 pandemic and their children’s executive function outcome

Creator:: Nichols, Austin T.
Abstract:: The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted family dynamics, specifically with mothers experiencing unique stressors and challenges. This study explored the association between mothers' anxiety induced by the COVID-19 pandemic and their children’s executive function outcome during preschool. A quantitative approach was used with a sample of 219 families in Oregon, utilizing...
