The Effects of Phytoplankton Prey Species and Nutrient Limitation on Microzooplankton

Creator:: McBeain, Kelsey Ann
Abstract:: Phytoplankton and microzooplankton comprise the base and the first link of the marine food web, respectively. These microbes are key drivers of marine carbon and nutrient cycles. Phytoplankton convert atmospheric CO₂ into organic carbon, and microzooplankton consume phytoplankton, packaging phytoplankton carbon into particulate forms that have a variety of fates:...

Strategies for Altering Energy Flux in Thalassiosira pseudonana Elucidated by Transcriptomics

Creator:: Pombrol, Michelle
Abstract:: Diatoms play a major role in ocean biogeochemical cycles and are important tools in bioengineering for natural products and nanotechnology. Diatoms and other algae growing at varying resource-limited growth rates allocate carbon to different metabolic pathways to optimize growth; however, the molecular mechanisms controlling these pathway gating strategies are not...

Photosynthetic Energy Allocation Strategies of Thalassiosira pseudonana During Light Limited Growth

Creator:: Fisher, Nerissa L.
Abstract:: Photosynthetic energy allocation strategies were investigated in the marine diatom, Thalassiosira pseudonana, grown under a wide range of light limitation. Steady-state, continuous cultures were established at three light-limited growth rates. Simultaneous measurements of photosynthetic activity were made that targeted different points in photosynthetic energy flow from gross to net photosynthesis....

Taxonomy and distribution of the leaf-hopper genus Aphrodes Curtis (Homoptera:Cicadellidae) in North America

Creator:: Klein, Terry Allen
Abstract:: The subfamily Aphrodinae is represented in the Nearctic Region by eight species contained in a single tribe, Aphrodini, and genus Aphrodes. The external and internal morphology, biology and ecology of the Nearctic members of the genus Aphrodes were investigated. Distributional evidence indicates that six of the eight species, belonging to...

Soil and rumen microbial responses to photooxidized grass straw

Creator:: Park, Jerry Eugene
Abstract:: Straw has many uses, as feed, roughage, animal bedding, but these requirements are not sufficient to utilize the available production. In areas where grasskseed is produced, post-harvest straw is burned in the field to help prevent crop disease the following year. This treatment is very wasteful in terms of straw...

Effects of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon degradation on the metabolic enzymes in Nitrosomonas europaea

Creator:: Fawcett, Kimberly A.
Abstract:: The toxic effects of degrading the chlorinated hydrocarbons trichloroethylene (TCE), chloroform (CF) and cis-1,2-dichloroethylene (cis-1,2-DCE) were studied in the bacterium Nitrosomonas europaea. N europaea is an ammonia-oxidizing bacterium that obtains all of its energy from the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite. This metabolic process involves two enzymes, ammonia monooxygenase (AMO)...
