Characterizing the proteomic and mitochondrial functional differences between normal-pH and dark-cutting beef
(2019-12)Dark-cutting beef is an example of color deviation, in which beef fails to have a characteristic bright-red color. The overall goal of the current research was to determine the biochemical basis of dark-cutting beef. Two ... -
Cloning, sequencing, and identification of Phage 16, an unknown salmonella or EHEC (enterohemorrhagic E. coli) bacteriophage
(Oklahoma State University Center for Health Services, 2020-02-28)Bacteriophage are viruses that infect, replicate and kill bacteria. Salmonella and EHEC food poisoning are caused by Salmonella and E. coli bacteria. Bacteriophage can be used to prevent food poisoning by application to ... -
Comparative analysis of opioid-induced microbiome alterations in rat small intestine, cecum, and colon
(Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences, 2023-02-17)Background: Trillions of bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses comprise the animal microbiome and virome. The composition and diversity of these complex communities have a profound impact on the health of their animal host. ... -
Determinants of gene targeting and regulation by response regulators in Clostridioides difficile
(2018-12-14)Bacteria use two-component signal transduction systems to sense the conditions of the environment and adapt their behavior to ensure survival. The separate roles of signal perception and response output are carried out by ... -
EDNA-host: Detection of global plant viromes using high throughput sequencing
(2020-05)The aim of this research was to develop the concept of host-specific virome detection methods. Three model systems were selected roses, cucurbits, and water. EDNA MiFi was used to generate pathogen electronic probes ... -
Evaluation and Optimization of Bioinformatic Tools for the Detection of Human Foodborne Pathogens in Complex Metagenomic Datasets
(2019-07)Foodborne human pathogens pose a significant risk to human health as each year one in six Americans becomes sick from one of over 31 known human foodborne pathogens. Due to the differences in their growth requirements, ... -
LacSubPred: Predicting subtypes of Laccases, an important lignin metabolism-related enzyme class, using in silico approaches
(BioMed Central, 2014-10-21)Background: Laccases (E.C. 1.10.3.2) are multi-copper oxidases that have gained importance in many industries such as biofuels, pulp production, textile dye bleaching, bioremediation, and food production. Their usefulness ... -
Molecular and biochemical basis of dark-cutting beef
(2022-12)Dark-cutting beef is a meat quality defect where beef fails to have a characteristic bright-red color typical of normal-pH beef. The occurrence of dark-cutting beef is associated with a high muscle pH resulting from defective ... -
Predicting genome-scale Arabidopsis-Pseudomonas syringae interactome using domain and interolog-based approaches
(BioMed Central, 2014-10-21)Background: Every year pathogenic organisms cause billions of dollars' worth damage to crops and livestock. In agriculture, study of plant-microbe interactions is demanding a special attention to develop management strategies ...
