Discovery, purification and characterization of antifungal proteins and other defense-related compounds from tropical plants.
(1999)
To date, we have screened 164 extracts from over 100 different plant species for antifungal activity against Fusarium chlamydosporum, a saprophytic/pathogenic fungus. Out of these 164 crude extracts, 111 had antifungal ...
The ecology and biogeochemistry of sulfate reduction in the terrestrial subsurface.
(1999)
I believe that the ubiquity and importance of sulfate reduction in subsurface environments is a reflection of the diversity of the hydrological and biogeochemical processes which contribute to the availability of sulfate. ...
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 ...
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 ...
In vitro interactions of immune lymphocytes and Cryptococcus neoformans.
(1981)
CBA/J mice immunized subcutaneously with heat-killed Cryptococcus neoformans-complete Freund's adjuvant (HKC-CFA) emulsions developed delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses to cryptococcal culture filtrate (CneF) ...
Functional genomic analysis of Haemophilus influenzae and application to the study of competence and transformation.
(2004)
During the progression of this study, hundreds of additional bacterial genomes were sequenced, techniques have evolved, and novel approaches were developed to aid the field of functional and comparative genomics. Some of ...
