Conversion of acids to alcohols by Clostridium ragsdalei strain P11: Process optimization and biochemistry
(2013)
Research focus was directed toward the development of a biocatalyst that can be used to produce commodity chemicals and transportation fuels from volatile fatty acids ubiquitous in waste biomass. Clostridium ragsdalei was ...
Differences in nitrate reductase activity between species of different stages in old field succession.
(1982)
The ratio of nitrate/ammonium in the soil decreases from a high level in the early stages of old field succession to a low level in the climax in the tall grass prairie region of central Oklahoma. Characteristic species ...
Responses of Belowground Carbon Dynamics to Warming in Southern Great Plains
(2012)
Compared with research on aboveground carbon (C) processes in grassland ecosystems, little is known on how belowground C processes would respond to projected global warming. In this dissertation, responses of belowground ...
Response of the soil microbiome to climate change
(2011)
Anthropogenically induced climate change is a multi-factor process that will likely exert significant pressure on biogeochemical cycling of important elements such as carbon and nitrogen in all environments. Central to the ...
Studies on the virulence mechanisms of Clostridium sordellii.
(2006)
Abstract not available.
Mechanism of cellular intoxication by large clostridial toxins.
(2002)
Clostridium sordellii lethal toxin (TcsL) is a large clostridial toxin (LCT) that glucosylates Ras, Rac and Ral. In chapter II, using a suite of inhibitors, steps in cell entry by TcsL were dissected and entry appears to ...
Studying microbial community diversities by developing high-throughput experimental techniques and computational tools
(2018-12)
Since the advent of high-throughput technologies, the understanding of microbial biodiversity has rapidly transformed. Amplicon sequencing of phylogenetic makers, especially 16S rRNA genes has now become a well-adopted ...
Microbiology of water and wastewater: Discovery of a new genus numerically dominant in municipal wastewater and antimicrobial resistances in numerically dominant bacteria from Oklahoma lakes.
(2005)
Three bacterial isolates from municipal wastewater were investigated for their phenotypic, biochemical, and molecular characters. All strains were isolated from municipal wastewater, and the type strain, NRS1T, was isolated ...
Transcriptional Adaptation of Enterococcus faecalis within Macrophages and the Role of PerA in Virulence
(2011)
The intestinal ecosystem is comprised of bacteria that are both beneficial and detrimental to human health. The opportunistic pathogens residing within the gastrointestinal tract typically function as commensal members ...
