Author: Chouinard, Tracy
Date Created: 2014
Subjects--Topical: Microbiology, Environmental engineering
Description: In the U.S., a move toward the use of anaerobic digestion (AD) technologies for solid waste management has been slow. However, recently, a number of factors have coalesced to renew interest in AD because of its potential to produce renewable energ...

Title: INVESTIGATING THE ECOLOGICAL, PATHOGENIC, AND DORMANT LIFESTYLES OF THE ESTUARINE BACTERIUM, VIBRIO VULNIFICUS
Author: Williams, Tiffany
Date Created: 2015
Subjects--Topical: Microbiology, Bioinformatics
Description: Vibrio vulnificus is ubiquitous in estuarine and coastal waters worldwide and associates naturally with a variety of aquatic organisms. Notably, it is a highly invasive human pathogen capable of causing septicemia and multi-organ failure in person...

Title: Long-term study of changes in microbiota in a Cystic Fibrosis patient
Author: Stokell, Joshua
Date Created: 2013
Subjects--Topical: Biology, Microbiology
Description: Application of culture-independent techniques have revealed the presence of more types of bacteria than were previously thought, which led to the current description of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) being a polymicrobial disease. We know this polymicrobial...

Title: RANK-L expression in Staphylococcus aureus- induced osteomyelitis, therapeutic intervention using nanotechnology and use of UV-killed bacteria as an osteoconductive coating for biomaterials.
Author: Somayaji, Shankari
Date Created: 2009
Subjects--Topical: Microbiology
Description: Staphylococcus aureus is responsible for approximately 80% of all cases of human osteomyelitis. RANK-L is an essential signal produced by osteoblasts and is required for full osteoclastic differentiation. PGE₂ - induced...

Title: SYMBIOSIS ACROSS DIET-INDUCED PHENOTYPES OF LARVAL SEA URCHINS
Author: Carrier, Tyler
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Microbiology, Ecology, Aquatic sciences
Description: Larval sea urchins have served as a fundamental system for understanding development, phenotypic plasticity, and life-history evolution over much of the last century. In the recent decade, this understanding has begun to extend to the microbiota a...

Title: Stability, resistance and change in mammalian microbiota and their associations with host health
Author: Spencer, Melanie
Date Created: 2011
Subjects--Topical: Biology, Microbiology, Bioinformatics
Description: What is the nature of a complex organism? Metagenomic research and its insights into biosystem function have fundamentally altered the answer to this question. High-throughput sequencing technology has revealed the multitude of microbes that live ...

Title: THE ROLE OF OXYGEN ON THE IN VITRO AND IN SITU ECOPHYSIOLOGY OF MARINE VIBRIO SPECIES
Author: Phippen, Britney
Date Created: 2018
Subjects--Topical: Microbiology
Description: Hypoxia is an emerging concern in coastal ecosystems worldwide, and the number of areas experiencing hypoxia has increased exponentially in recent years. It is most prevalent in summer months when elevated temperatures lead to increased oxygen con...

Title: The Microbiota Multiverse: From Gut to Brain and Beyond
Author: Brown, Matthew
Date Created: 2019
Subjects--Topical: Microbiology, Bioinformatics
Description: This work explores the microbiomes of diverse biological contexts with various stakeholders and collaborators. It consists of six objectives: the first two relate to interaction between the gut microbiome and host health, the second two investigat...

Title: The Relationship of Reproductive Hormones and Host Susceptibility to the Opportunistic Pathogen, Vibrio vulnificus
Author: McKee, Leslie
Date Created: 2015
Subjects--Topical: Biology, Microbiology, Endocrinology
Description: It is commonly found that males show a higher susceptibility to infectious diseases. While the underlying mechanism for this sex difference is not fully understood, one significant contributing attribute is the presence of specific sex hormones- e...

Title: The ecology of C-genotype and E-genotype strains of the bacterium Vibrio vulnificus and their interactions with the American oyster Crassostrea virginica
Author: Froelich, Brett
Date Created: 2012
Subjects--Topical: Biology, Microbiology
Description: Vibrio vulnificus is a pathogenic bacterium, routinely found in waters of estuarine environments as part of the normal microflora. This organism can be divided into two genotypes, a C-type associated with clinical isolation, and an E-type associat...
