Ecological Investigations of Hydrocarbonoclastic Microbial Communities Associated with the Built-Environment
Marks, Christopher (2016-09)Evidence for the microbial metabolism of hydrocarbons is routinely identified in diverse habitats, but particularly those associated with the production, processing, storage and use of petroleum. In these environments, ... -
AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE DISTRIBUTION OF MYXOBACTERIA, THE EFFECT OF PREDATOR-PREY INTERACTIONS ON SECONDARY METABOLITE EXPRESSION, AND DRIVERS OF MICROBIAL COMMUNITY ASSEMBLY
Bill, Brian (2019)The myxobacteria are Deltaproteobacteria capable of growing on a wide range of bacterial and fungal prey. To kill their prey, myxobacteria produce diverse secondary metabolites, many of which have medically desirable ... -
Microbial Ecology of Coastal Ecosystems: Investigations of the Genetic Potential for Anaerobic Hydrocarbon Transformation and the Response to Hydrocarbon Exposure
Johnson Duffner, Jamie (2017-04-24)Microbial-mediated hydrocarbon transformation plays a vital role in the attenuation of natural and anthropogenic-sourced petroleum contamination in the environment, particularly in marine systems. Indigenous microbial ... -
NADH-DEPENDENT, FERREDOXIN-INDEPENDENT HYDROGEN PRODUCTION IN TWO MODEL SYNTROPHIC BACTERIA
Losey, Nathaniel (2019-05-10)The relationship between a fatty acid-oxidizing, hydrogen-producing bacterium and a hydrogen consuming methnogenic partner has longed served as a model system for anaerobic syntrophic metabolism. This process is dependent ...
