Fungal endophytes as source to combat bacterial infections

Creator:: Green, Jaimie R
Abstract:: Endophytes, foliage inhabiting fungi, are an unexplored source of fungal biodiversity and a potential resource for the production of bioactive natural products. In this research, leaf tissues from the species Arbutus menziesii, Rhododendron macrophyllum and the genus, Ilex and Salix were collected for the isolation of endophytic fungi. Fungal extracts...

Use of Platelet Rich Plasma for the Treatment of Subclinical Endometritis in Beef Heifers

Creator:: Puttman, Elizabeth A.
Abstract:: Postpartum uterine inflammation (endometritis) is not uncommon in beef cattle, resulting in infertility and culling. Prolonged calving may contribute to the increased incidence of endometritis in heifers. Commonly used methods to treat endometritis in beef cattle include intrauterine antibiotics and/or hormone injections, which can result in meat residues. Platelet rich...

Impact of lignin on efficiency of small-scale enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass

Creator:: Potapchuk, Angelica
Abstract:: Energy production and consumption is a major environmental and economic concern in the world today. Biofuel produced from lignocellulosic biomass is being explored as an alternative energy source to petroleum. Lignocellulosic biomass is comprised of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. To produce biofuels, lignocellulosic biomass must be broken down to expose...

Vegetative effects of RNAi-suppression of the poplar homolog of LEAFY in the field

Creator:: Jacobson, Jeremy
Abstract:: Due to public and regulatory restrictions, genetic containment technology is critical for research and development of transgenic trees in forestry. A multi-year field trial demonstrated that the RNAi-LFY construct successfully induces sexual sterility in 6K10 poplar (Populus alba) without visible effects on vegetative development. However, its limited number of replicates...

Systematically evaluating the developmental toxicity of nanomaterials using the zebrafish model

Creator:: Edwards, Sabrina R.
Abstract:: As engineered nanomaterials (ENM) become more common in consumer products, it is crucial to rapidly assess toxicity of unique ENM. Previous studies rarely focused on standardizing nanotoxicity testing, leading to inconsistent and irreproducible results. This study characterized a variety of ENM of different size, shape, core type, and surface charge...
Resource Type:: Poster, Undergraduate Thesis, and Presentation

Biosynthetic Studies of the α-Amylase Inhibitor Trestatin in Streptomyces dimorphogenes

Creator:: Demessie, Ananiya A.
Abstract:: The prevalence of obesity and diabetes in the United States and globally has been rising in the last few decades and it continues to climb. One of the causes for this increase is the over consumption of sugars and/or carbohydrates. Among medications available to treat obesity and diabetes are the...

Genetic diversity of benthic marine cyanophage as revealed by sequence analysis of various phage marker genes

Creator:: Vallota-Eastman, Alec
Abstract:: Cyanophage are viruses that infect cyanobacteria, photosynthetic microorganisms which are known to produce several anticancer and antibacterial chemical compounds. Cyanophage are significant members of microbial communities in marine and freshwater environments. There has been significant difficulty inventorying marine and freshwater cyanophage, however, due to the difficulty in cultivating their hosts....

Vein Orientation and Structural Geology of the Boulder Batholith, Mount Thompson Quadrangle, southwestern Montana

Creator:: Mankins, Neal
Abstract:: The Mount Thompson 7.5 Minute Quadrangle is located in the central Boulder Batholith, between the cities of Butte and Helena. The Boulder batholith is host to numerous metalliferous vein deposits, including those in the Butte District. Recent USGS (EDMAP)-funded geologic mapping at 1:24,000 scale in the Mount Thompson Quadrangle during...
Resource Type:: Map or Cartographic Material, Undergraduate Thesis, Poster, and Presentation

A Panel of Histone H3 Mutations to Investigate Centromere Maintenance and Gene Silencing

Creator:: Esposito, Madison L.
Abstract:: Modifications of histone tail amino acid residues are necessary for many reactions involving chromatin. These processes can produce transcriptionally active, euchromatic, or inactive, heterochromatic, segments of DNA. The formation and maintenance of facultative heterochromatin is critical for the proper growth and development of many eukaryotes. Euchromatin can be changed into...

Assessment of Gut Microbiome Role in Diet-Related Changes in Cognition

Creator:: Caballero-Ignacio, Clarisa
Abstract:: Western diets can influence behavior and gut microbiome due to the excessive intake of high fat and sucrose. Altering the microbiome can also influence the brain and behavior. The hypothesis that was tested was that diet-induced changes in the microbiome cause changes in cognitive abilities. A previous study showed learning...
