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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
Cell-cell interactions in Myxococcus xanthus.
(2004)
Myxococcus xanthus, a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, nonpathogenic soil bacterium has been used as a model organism for many years for research on developmental behavior such as multicellular morphogenesis, signal transduction. ...
Bacillus mojavensis and Bacillus subtilis require DNA or deoxyribonucleosides for anaerobic growth.
(2004)
Bacillus mojavensis strain JF-2 grows to an A600 of 0.8 to 1.0 in aerobic medium E but growth in this medium under strict anaerobic conditions is difficult to establish and replicate. Anaerobic growth of JF-2 was not ...
Cytosolic delivery of mutant forms of toxin B from Clostridium difficile facilitates characterization of the intracellular activities of large clostridal toxins.
(2002)
Clostridia are gram-positive spore-forming organisms responsible for a variety of diseases in both humans and animals Three species of Clostridia- Clostridium difficile, Clostridium sordellii and Clostridium novyi- produce ...
AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE INFLUENCE OF SUBSURFACE GEOCHEMISTRY ON MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES IN AN UNCONFINED CONTAMINATED AQUIFER
(2018)
Microorganisms account for ~ 90 gigatons of carbon in terms of global biomass and are important drivers of elemental cycling especially in oligotrophic subsurface environments. Subsurface ecosystems remain poorly characterized ...
