Phytosanitation of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) logs to mitigate the risk of artificially disseminating Phytophthora ramorum within the global trade of timber

Creator:: Hulbert, Joseph M.
Abstract:: Phytophthora ramorum is a plant pathogen that was accidentally introduced to the United States. This invasive microorganism has killed over a million trees in California and Oregon, and continues to spread to new areas. Diseased areas have been nationally quarantined to prevent further spread and more than ninety countries include...

Microbial analysis of coniferous forest and nursery soils : effects of ectomycorrhizae, volatiles, and humic-rich organic substrates

Creator:: Schisler, David Albert
Abstract:: Fusarium spp. frequent conifer nursery soils yet are rarely recovered from coniferous forest soils. Experiments were performed to determine what influence humic-rich organic amendments and volatiles from soil, ectomycorrhizal fungi and ectomycorrhizae have on the populations of several physiologic and taxonomic microbial groups potentially related to this phenomenon. A comparative...

The genetic diversity of Ceanothus-infective Frankia

Creator:: Ritchie, Nancy J.
Abstract:: Frankia from root nodules of nine different species of Ceanothus were characterized. DNA was amplified directly from nodular material using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The amplified region includes the 3' end of the 16S rRNA gene, the intergenic spacer (IGS), and a large portion of the 23S rRNA gene....

Inhibition, kinetic and modeling studies of acetylene and 1-chloro-1-fluoroethene on reductive dechlorination of TCE and vinyl chloride

Creator:: Pon, George
Abstract:: Laboratory and modeling studies were performed with a mixed-anaerobic-culture obtained from the Evanite site in Corvallis, Oregon. The culture completely transforms trichloroethene (TCE) to cis-dichloroethene (c-DCE), vinyl chloride (VC), and finally to ethene. Acetylene inhibition studies were used to examine the culture's microbial activities. Kinetic studies determined the half-saturated constant...

Stable isotope probing of the ovine rumen for RDX degrading microorganisms

Creator:: Mitchell, Edward A.
Abstract:: The anaerobic and highly reductive conditions found in the ovine rumen are considered favorable for the degradation of the nitroaromatic explosives such as hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX). In this study, we used stable-isotope-probing to determine the bacteria responsible for the degradation of RDX in the rumen. Results indicate 10 μg mL⁻¹ (45...

Influence of site, soil, and inoculum density on dwarf bunt (Tilletia controversa Kühn) of winter wheat

Creator:: Clark, Deborah Ann, 1954-
Abstract:: Field microplot studies conducted over two seasons (1982-1984) evaluated the influence of four physically and chemically diverse soils collected from Pacific Northwest wheat fields on the incidence of dwarf bunt of winter wheat caused by Tilletia controversa Kuhn. These soils were placed at Flora and Pendleton, Oregon to determine the...

Microbial and biochemical dynamics of ectomycorrhizal mat and non-mat forest soils

Creator:: Kluber, Laurel A.
Abstract:: Dense hyphal mats formed by ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi are prominent features in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forest soils and have been estimated to cover up to 40% of the forest floor in some stands. Although previous studies have examined various aspects of EcM fungi, little is known about their associated microbial...

Contributions of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and archaea to nitrification in forest soils

Creator:: Lu, Xinda
Abstract:: Prior to 2005, ammonia oxidation, the first step of nitrification, was thought mediated mainly by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB). However, the discovery of Thaumarchaeota carrying the genes coding for the ammonia monooxygenase (AMO) enzyme led to the discovery that ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) also contribute to nitrification. Despite the uptick in studies...

The development and decline dynamics of two ectomycorrhizal fungal mat soil microbial communities in response to a reciprocal soil transfer experiment in old-growth Douglas-fir forests

Creator:: Cappellazzi, Jed E.
Abstract:: Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EmF) form symbioses with trees. These symbioses profoundly influence forest ecology. Certain EmF form specialized profusions of hyphae, known as ectomycorrhizal fungal mats (mats) which are visible to the naked eye, alter forest soil biogeochemistry, substantially contribute to soil microbial biomass/respiration and support unique microbial communities. Piloderma and...
