  • Ecology and applications of cutaneous mechanisms of resistance to amphibian chytridiomycosis

    Creator:
    Nebergall, Emily E.
    Abstract:
    Amphibian biodiversity is in rapid global decline, due in part to the fungal disease chytridiomycosis, caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). Susceptibility to Bd and chytridiomycosis varies between species and populations. Skin peptides and symbiotic skin bacteria appear to be important mechanisms of Bd resistance. However, not much is known about...

  • Polyion sensors based on induced ion extraction

    Creator:
    Fordyce, Katherine
    Abstract:
    A novel method for detecting the peptidase activity of clinically relevant peptidases was investigated using solid-contact electrochemical polyion sensors under chronopotentiometric control. Complete instrumental control over ion-extraction was accomplished by incorporating a lipophilic electrolyte into the ion-selective membrane; the sensors had no intrinsic ion-exchange capabilities. The sensors were used to...
