The lag phase, the specific growth rate, the minimum a [subscript w]
required for growth and the temperature characteristic of
Fsendomonas fluorescens, Brochothrix thermosphacta, Salmonella
typhlmurium, Streptococcus faecalis and, Staphylococcus aureus
have been studied in liquid model media under controlled temperature
and a [subscript w] conditions. The results show that...
Most studies of bacteria in water have concerned public health; little attention has been given to organisms which are indigenous to
the aquatic environment. Myxobacteria are known to occur in soil,
in the marine environment, and several have been studied in relation
to diseases of salmonid fishes. However, little information...
This investigation demonstrates the feasibility of a
polyculture system using effluent water from land-based
salmon culture systems to feed juvenile Manila clams, Tapes
japonica (Deshyes), and an evaluation of an artificial diet
for feeding juvenile clams. An economic analysis of the
polyculture system was compared to cultures of a single...
The pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of bacterial
dermatitis and various canine allergic dermatitidies including
allergic inhalant dermatitis, contact dermatitis and
flea allergy dermatitis were studied. The effect of specific
nonprotein and protein components of commercial flea
antigens on the gross and microscopic appearance of intradermal
injections was investigated. Additionally, a...
Crosses were made between a stock of summer steelhead (Salmo
gairdneri) known to be resistant to infection by Ceratomyxa
shasta and stocks of summer steelhead known to be susceptible.
Ceratomyxosis, the disease caused by C. shasta was initiated by
exposure to Willamette River water. I found that the crosses
were...
A characterization of the antigenic determinants (epitopes) of the glycoprotein (G) of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) was made with different regions of the G gene expressed in Escherichia coli. A cDNA copy of the G gene was divided into four fragments after Taq I digestion and these fragments were...
Little is known about the virulence factors of Renibacterium
salmoninarum, the causative agent of salmonid bacterial kidney disease.
The predominant protein produced by R. salmoninarum in broth culture or
during infection is a 57/58 kDa protein (p57) which is associated with strain
virulence. In this study monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to...
The purpose of this study was to determine if a significant
difference in cognitive achievement and retention occurred when skeletal
system anatomy and terminology were presented utilizing either videotaped
presentations or a traditional laboratory procedure.
Fifty-three first semester nursing students enrolled in biology
(Bio. 160 anatomy and physiology) at Lethbridge...
