Concept of Viscous Heating to Reinvent the Toilet
(Oklahoma State University, 2013-12-01)Highly viscous substances, such as feces, produce significant heat when layer deformation occurs. We describe the use of viscous heating to destroy disease-causing microorganisms and whipworms in feces using a small amount ... -
Development and evaluation of a quantitative PCR assay targeting sandhill crane (Grus canadensis) fecal pollution
(American Society for Microbiology, 2012-06)While the microbial water quality in the Platte River is seasonally impacted by excreta from migrating cranes, there are no methods available to study crane fecal contamination. Here we characterized microbial populations ... -
Factors associated with the presence of coliforms in the feed and water of feedlot cattle
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005-10)The objective of this study was to investigate coliform counts in feedlot cattle water and feed rations and their associations with management, climate, fecal material, and water Escherichia coli O157 using a cross-sectional ... -
Genome of the anaerobic fungus Orpinomyces sp. strain C1A reveals the unique evolutionary history of a remarkable plant biomass degrader
(American Society for Microbiology, 2013-08)Anaerobic gut fungi represent a distinct early-branching fungal phylum (Neocallimastigomycota) and reside in the rumen, hindgut, and feces of ruminant and nonruminant herbivores. The genome of an anaerobic fungal isolate, ... -
Molecular detection of Campylobacter spp. and fecal indicator bacteria during the northern migration of sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis) at the central Platte River
(American Society for Microbiology, 2013-06)The risk to human health of the annual sandhill crane (Grus canadensis) migration through Nebraska, which is thought to be a major source of fecal pollution of the central Platte River, is unknown. To better understand ...
