Using the Microbial Tree of Life to Describe Mammalian Health and Disease

Creator:: Arnold, Holly Kristin
Abstract:: The past decade of research has potentiated a revolution in our understanding of mammalian health and evolution by revealing that the gut microbiome plays a central role in mammalian physiology. Our ability to unlock this potential hinges upon the identification of specific groups of gut microbes that elicit effects on...

Ecophylogenetic Characterization of the Gut Microbiome of At-risk Companion and Food Animals

Creator:: Kirchoff, Nicole S.
Abstract:: Agricultural and companion animals are integral to our way of life as they provide us with nourishment, financial resources, transportation, and companionship. However, pets, managed animals in the agricultural industry, as well as wild populations of food animals are all subject to health and mortality risks. The gut microbiome is...

The Gut Microbiome Drives Benzo[a]pyrene's Impact on Zebrafish Behavioral Development

Creator:: Sieler, Michael J.
Abstract:: Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) is a common environmental pollutant produced from the incomplete combustion of organic matter, such as fossil fuel emissions. In vertebrates, B[a]P exposure is associated with hyperactivity, though the underlying mechanisms driving this effect are undescribed. Mounting evidence indicates that the gut microbiome, which is the diverse community of...

Comparative Metagenomic Investigations Link the Functional Capacity of the Gut Microbiome to Vertebrate Physiology

Creator:: Armour, Courtney R.
Abstract:: Microscopic organisms inhabit virtually every niche on this planet, where they perform functions vital to all life on earth. Accordingly, humans host a complex community of microorganisms (i.e. the gut microbiome) that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract and modulate host physiology. Insight into the specific mechanisms through which gut microbes influence...

Characterizing the Accuracy of Phylogenetic Analyses that Leverage 16S rRNA Sequencing Data

Creator:: Humphreys, Ian R.
Abstract:: Investigations of 16S rRNA gene sequences hallmark modern microbiology. These sequences provide culture-independent insight into the abundance and distribution of microbiota and serve as a principle resource through which microbial community diversity is measured. Consequently, researchers rely on 16S gene sequences to test hypotheses rooted in ecology, evolution, and disease....

Mutagenic Analysis of Victorin Sensitivity in Arabidopsis thaliana and Avena sativa

Creator:: Seshadri, Rishi S.
Abstract:: The fungal pathogen Cochliobolus victoriae, the causal agent of Victoria blight, produces a host-selective pathogenicity factor called victorin. In Arabidopsis thaliana, a dominant gene called "supersense" (SSN) confers constitutive victorin sensitivity at very low concentrations. SSN encodes a nucleotide-binding leucine-rich-repeat (NB-LRR) protein. In the SSN-carrying Heiligkreuztal 2 ecotype (TAIR Germplasm...

The role and policy implications of selected external factors as applied to the developmental patterns of five Wyoming fuels

Creator:: Vuk, Melvin M.
Abstract:: The developmental patterns of five fuel resources located within the state of Wyoming are examined through time and in relation to several factors external to the location of the fuels. An historic description and inventory of the five fuels: petroleum; natural gas; oil shale; coal; uranium are presented. External factors...

An evaluation of agricultural lands for acquistion and consolidation : the Umatilla Indian Reservation

Creator:: Roberts, Rebecca S.
Abstract:: The Farm Enterprise Committee of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation requested that an evaluation be made of the Reservation land resource for the purpose of acquisition by the Tribe as a part of a study of the feasibility of an expanded farm enterprise. The Committee's primary goal...

The effects of large-lot zoning on the single-family housing market

Creator:: Roberts, Rebecca S.
Abstract:: This study investigated the private costs to individual households of large-lot zoning policies. The study asked whether typical zoning ordinances create shortages of small lots or small structures and, if so, what the magnitude of the resultant welfare loss is. The hypotheses were suggested by a theoretical model developed to...

Genetic and biochemical analysis of Victoria blight : identification of AFLP markers and purification and characterization of the oat saspase

Creator:: Coffeen, Warren C.
Abstract:: Victoria blight of oats (Avena sativa) is caused by the fungus, Cochliobolus victoriae, which produces the toxin, victorin. Victorin production is required for pathogenicity of the fungus. In oats, sensitivity to the toxin and susceptibility to the pathogen is conditioned by a dominant allele at the 1'b locus, while oats...
