The Genomic Capabilities of Microbial Communities Track Seasonal Variation in Arctic Lagoons

Creator:: Baker, Kristina D.
Abstract:: The lagoons spanning Alaska’s Beaufort Sea coast provide a unique habitat for arctic wildlife. These lagoons and the food webs they support face extreme seasonality with nine months of ice cover followed by a spring thaw that pulses a large amount of freshwater and nutrients into the lagoons. Bacteria link...

The Fungal Microbiome Associated with Grapevine Trunk Disease in Oregon Vineyards

Creator:: Zimmerman, Jessie
Abstract:: Grapevine Trunk Diseases (GTDs) are caused by a group of fungal pathogens that attack the xylem tissue of mature grapevines worldwide. In the past 30 years, their incidence has increased, both in emerging grape-producing regions, as well as those with an extended history of viticulture. In the same time span,...

Novel Copper and Iron Complexes along the Oregon Coastal Upwelling Margin

Creator:: Bright, Peter, W.
Abstract:: Copper and iron are essential micronutrients that are required by marine primary producers for a variety of metabolic processes. Over 99% of both copper and iron are bound within organic complexes in the marine environment, however the molecular identity of many of these complexes remains unknown. The speciation of these...

Multidisciplinary Approach to Evaluate the Effect of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) on Soil Microbiota and Quality of Strawberries

Creator:: Nam, Jun Haeng
Abstract:: Oregon strawberries are known for their high quality, intense flavor, sweetness, and rich red color. With optimal weather conditions, including rainy and mild seasons, Oregon has one of the best strawberry farming environments. Amongst the factors for a suitable strawberry farming environment, soil significantly influences strawberry growth and quality. The...

Genomic mapping of efflux pumps in Listeria monocytogenes and their contribution to cadmium and fluoroquinolone tolerance

Creator:: Domen, Andrea
Abstract:: Listeria monocytogenes is the third most deadly foodborne pathogen in the United States. The young and elderly, as well as pregnant and immunocompromised people are the population most susceptible to serious illness and death from listeriosis infections. Unlike most foodborne pathogens, L. monocytogenes does not live a solely enteric lifestyle....

Relationship of Soil Fungal Communities and Burn Severity to Post-Fire Vegetation Response

Creator:: Roach, Skylar K.
Abstract:: The effects of fire on above-ground forest systems have been extensively studied. However, research on fire effects on belowground processes is lacking. While the soil microbiome is understood to be vital to conifer growth and regeneration, the complexity of soils means that research on the topic has largely been accomplished...

Quantitative Metatranscriptomics and Biogeochemical Rate Measurements Reveal Microbial Pathways Driving Carbon and Nitrogen Cycles in an Arctic Lagoon

Creator:: Griffin, Natasha A.
Abstract:: Microbial communities in Arctic coastal lagoons drive biogeochemical cycles at the terrestrial-marine interface and help to determine the fate and form of resources like nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) as they are delivered to the Arctic Ocean. Though rising rates of primary production in the Arctic Ocean are well-characterized, the...

Consequences of Influenza A Virus on Pneumococcal Biofilm Formation and Stability in the Absence of Host Factors

Creator:: Nutter, Laura
Abstract:: Streptococcus pneumoniae and Influenza A Virus both primarily infect the upper respiratory tract, with more severe disease occurring during coinfection than would be caused by either pathogen independently. Until recently, characterization of the interactions between these two pathogens has occurred exclusively in the context of a host or using host-derived...

Genetic Diversity and Antimicrobial Resistance of Listeria monocytogenes within Produce Handling and Processing Environments

Creator:: Bland, Rebecca N.
Abstract:: Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen frequently associated with food processing environments. Its presence is particularly concerning in facilities handling minimally processed and ready-to-eat foods. Recent outbreaks associated with fresh produce, such as packaged salads and mushrooms, highlight the need to better understand and control these pathogens in environments that...

Modeling the habitat occupancy and abundance of salmonid ectoparasite Salmincola californiensis in Willamette Valley reservoirs

Creator:: Antonelli, Kelsi
Abstract:: The freshwater copepod Salmincola californiensis is an ectoparasite of Pacific salmonids (Oncorhynchus spp.) Threatened and endangered salmonids that rear in the reservoirs have been reported to experience higher rates of infection by S. californiensis than would be experienced by their stream-reared counterparts. These high levels of infection can lead to...
