Zebrafish are a powerful model organism to study disease. Like other animal models, Danio rerio colonies are
at risk of pathogenic infection. Microsporidia, a group of intracellular fungus-like parasites, are one potential
threat. Microsporidian spores germinate and spread causing pathological changes in the central nervous system,
skeletal muscle, and other...

The primary purpose of this investigation was to characterize
the lipids of the spores and vegetative cells of Cl. botulinum. A
second purpose was to explore the possibility that lipids might serve
as a means of differentiating the chiefly proteolytic Cl. botulinum
type B from the nonproteolytic Cl. botulinum types...
The purpose of this study was to develop means to facilitate
the detection of staphylococcal enterotoxin and to elucidate factors
that influence enterotoxin formation. It was found that semipurification
flat-gel electrophoresis in a water-cooled apparatus
was more efficient than CM-cellulose and Sephadex column chromatography
currently used to separate toxin from...
We investigated the potential use of airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data to predict key wood fiber properties from extrinsic indicators in lodgepole pine leading forest stands located in the foothills of central Alberta, Canada. Six wood fiber attributes (wood density, cell perimeter, cell coarseness, mature fiber length, microfibril...
Three viruses were isolated from dahlias using a modification of
Yarwood's leaf-disc method of inoculation. Two of these isolates have
been reported previously in dahlias. In addition, a fourth virus was
isolated using a liquid-nitrogen transmission technique.
Dahlia virus isolate 1 possessed host range and thermal inactivation
properties similar to...
Reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park (YNP) in 1995-96 provided a rare opportunity to observe the response of an ecosystem to the return of a top predator, including possible reversal of decades of decline of aspen, cottonwood, and tall willows suppressed by intensive herbivory on elk winter ranges. To...
The remodeling of the central nervous system (CNS) during metamorphosis in Drosophila melanogaster is a prime model system in which to study the genetic control of the sexual dimorphisms in the abdominal ganglion of the CNS. I have been using a P[tau-lacZ] enhancer trap line, 4.078, to label a segmentally...
