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...

A phytochemical study of Achlys triphylla (Smith) DC., (Berberidaceae)

Creator:: Born, Alvin Edmund
Abstract:: Achlys triphylla, a member of a medicinally active family containing alkaloids, was examined phytochemically to determine its possible value as a source of medicinal agents. Pharmacological testing of the crude ethanol extract exhibited a competitive inhibition of acetylcholine and histamine. Purification of alkaloid 'A' from the crude ethanol extract and...

Paleo-oceanography of the Gulf of California based on silicoflagellates from marine varved sediments

Creator:: Murray, David W.
Abstract:: Plankton and surface sediment samples from the Gulf of California were analyzed to determine the present geographic distribution of silicoflagellate species in this area. Variations in the composition of the silicoflagellate assemblage are related to water mass distributions. Seven species and three forms were identified in these samples. Octactis pulchra...
