Enzyme systems involved in interspecies hydrogen and formate transfer between syntrophic fatty and aromatic acid degraders and Methanospirillum hungatei
(2013)
The oxidation of either the fatty acid butyrate or the aromatic acid benzoate is essential for the efficient degradation of complex organic material to methane because they are central intermediates. The oxidation of ...
RESPONSES OF TOTAL AND ACTIVE SOIL MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES TO CLIMATE WARMING
(2019-12)
As illustrated by accumulating scientific evidence, unconscionable anthropogenic activities since industrialization such as intensive land utilization and accumulation of various greenhouse gases due to fossil fuel combustion ...
ENHANCING ALCOHOL PRODUCTION IN CLOSTRIDIUM CARBOXIDIVORANS STRAIN P7T AND THE ROLE OF TANDEM ADH GENES
(2014)
Clostridium carboxidivorans P7 is one of three microbial catalysts capable of fermenting synthesis gas (mainly CO, CO2 and H2) to produce the liquid biofuels ethanol and butanol. Gasification of feedstocks to produce ...
Purification, Mechanism, and Biochemical Interactions of the Essential Mycolic Acid Transporters MmpL3 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and CmpL1 from Corynebacterium glutamicum.
(2020-06)
The Corynebacterium – Mycobacterium – Nocardia family (CMN family) are a subset group of actinomycetes which are characterized as acid-fast, Gram-positive species. Many members of the CMN family are causative agents of ...
Formate-Dependent Growth and Homoacetogenic Fermentation by a Bacterium from Human Feces: Description of Bryantella formatexigens gen. nov., sp. nov.
(2003-10)
Formate stimulates growth of a new bacterium from human feces. With high formate, it ferments glucose to acetate via the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway. The original isolate fermented vegetable cellulose and carboxymethylcellulose, ...
Monitoring Norman, Oklahoma for temporal variation in SARS-CoV-2 using wastewater during University of Oklahoma football games
(2022-05)
Coronavirus Disease 2019, more commonly referred to as COVID-19, is the disease caused by the virus Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It is difficult to then get an accurate measure of cases ...
The anaerobic biodegradation of ethylcyclopentane and intermediates of benzoate metabolism by microorganisms from a hydrocarbon-contaminated aquifer.
(2003)
In this thesis, I examine the microbial degradation of an alicyclic hydrocarbon and the intermediates of benzoate decay under anaerobic conditions. Ethylcyclopentane was chosen as a model alicyclic hydrocarbon because GC ...
A study of the interaction between alfalfa (Medicago sativa) and one of its fungal pathogens, Colletotrichum trifolii.
(2001)
The alfalfa/C. trifolii interaction follows a gene-for-gene interaction for race-cultivar specificity where in general, products of host resistance genes providing resistance to the fungus are interacting with direct or ...
Cloning, characterization, expression and localization of inosine-5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) cDNA/mRNA in soybean (Glycine max) nodules.
(2000)
The technique of in situ hybridization was used to localize the IMPDH mRNA in soybean nodules. Mature nodules were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and 0.25% glutaraldehyde, dehydrated and embedded in Paraplast. Sections of ...
The reduction of uranium by sulfate-reducing bacteria in the terrestrial subsurface and a pure culture bacterium.
(2002)
The microbial reduction of uranium was investigated in a contaminated aquifer and with a pure culture model organism, Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough. The concentrations of Fe(III), U(VI), nitrate and sulfate were ...
