Experimental and numerical simulation study of microbial enhanced oil recovery using bio-surfactants.
(2005)
A 2-phase, 10-component microbial enhanced oil recovery numerical simulator was modified to include reservoir salinity and facilitate surfactant and polymer injection. The effects of reservoir brine salinity and divalent ...
Factors involved in cellular sensitivity to anthrax lethal toxin.
(2005)
The lethal factor (LF) component of Bacillus anthracis lethal toxin (LeTx) cleaves mitogen activated protein kinase kinases (MAPKKs) in a variety of different cell-types, yet not all cells are susceptible to the toxin. ...
Genome Sequence of Thermoanaerobaculum aquaticum MP-01T, the First Cultivated Member of Acidobacteria Subdivision 23, Isolated from a Hot Spring
(2014-05)
Thermoanaerobaculum aquaticum MP-01T is currently the only cultivated and described member of Acidobacteria subdivision 23. Here, we report the genome sequence for this novel microorganism that was isolated from a hot spring.
Microbial biosurfactant production: The effect of the Bacillus strain JF-2 biosurfactant on anaerobic hydrocarbon degradation, and the presence of indigenous biosurfactant-producing bacteria in soils.
(2005)
A series of experiments was designed utilizing the biosurfactant produced by Bacillus JF2. Specifically, these experiments were designed to determine if the presence of various levels of pre-purified JF2 biosurfactant would ...
Isolation and characterization of small naturally occurring plasmids from Desulfovibrio spp.
(2007)
These results suggest that these strains have different genomic organization. The presence of plasmid DNA was only detected in Desulfovibrio SR-1. On the basis of distinct phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, strain ...
THE ANAEROBIC MICROBIAL METABOLISM OF ENERGY SUBSTRATES: AN EXPLORATION INTO COALBED METHANOGENESIS, THE BIODETERIORATION OF DIESEL FUEL, AND BIOCORROSION
(2013-12)
Under anaerobic conditions the complete mineralization of energy substrate can be achieved by specialized individual microorganisms or through syntrophic partnerships involving bacteria and archaea that ultimately convert ...
Microbially-mediated reduction and oxidation of uranium: Implications for the bioremediation of uranium(VI)-contaminated aquifers.
(2004)
Mechanisms of nitrate-dependent U(IV) were assessed by incubating biogenic U(IV) with nitrite or Fe(III). Fe(III) rapidly but incompletely oxidized U(IV) since Fe(II) accumulated during the reaction and inhibited any further ...
Impact of Photooxidation and Biodegradation on the Fate of the Oil Spilled During the Deepwater Horizon Incident: The Advanced Stages of Weathering
(2016-12)
The major biogeochemical forces influencing the environmental fate of spilled oil have been intensively investigated for many decades. The sinking and burying of spilled residual oil to form large mats that subsequently ...
Assessing the influence of electron donor and cell-cell interactions on in situ microbial sulfate and hydrogen consumption using field and laboratory approaches.
(2004)
*This dissertation is a compound document (contains both a paper copy and a CD as part of the dissertation).
Rhizosphere ecology of PCB-degrading bacteria at a contaminated site and implications for bioremediation.
(2003)
Rhizosphere bioremediation is an emerging technology that relies on plant roots to enhance bacterial biodegradation of soil contaminants like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), providing an inexpensive alternative to ...
