Microbial Ecology of Coastal Ecosystems: Investigations of the Genetic Potential for Anaerobic Hydrocarbon Transformation and the Response to Hydrocarbon Exposure
(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 ...
THE HUMAN GASTROINTESTINAL MICROBIOME: INSIGHTS INTO THE MICROBIAL COMMUNITY STRUCTURE AND ANTIBIOTIC RESISTOME
(2017)
The human gastrointestinal microbiome consists of approximately 10-100 trillion symbiotic microbial cells. Recent advances of molecular based approaches have enhanced the ease and rapidity with which the microbial community ...
Enzyme systems involved in interspecies hydrogen and formate transfer between syntrophic fatty and aromatic acid degraders and Methanospirillum hungatei
(2013)
The oxidation of either the fatty acid butyrate or the aromatic acid benzoate is essential for the efficient degradation of complex organic material to methane because they are central intermediates. The oxidation of ...
Microbial mediated carbon and nitrogen feedbacks to elevated CO2 and switchgrass establishment in grassland ecosystems
(2021-10-26)
Anthropogenic climate change is the greatest scientific and political challenge of the twenty-first century. Since the industrial revolution, global climate change has elevated greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere, ...
Genetic Architecture and Influence of Switchgrass Internode Anatomy on Biofuel Production-Relevant Traits
(2022-05)
Biofuels produced from plant biomass, such as switchgrass, have the potential to mitigate the increasing pace of rising atmospheric CO2 and global temperatures caused in part by the burning of fossil fuels. Biofuels produced ...
RESPONSES OF TOTAL AND ACTIVE SOIL MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES TO CLIMATE WARMING
(2019-12)
As illustrated by accumulating scientific evidence, unconscionable anthropogenic activities since industrialization such as intensive land utilization and accumulation of various greenhouse gases due to fossil fuel combustion ...
DIAGNOSTIC ANALYSIS OF TERRESTRIAL GROSS PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY USING REMOTE SENSING AND IN SITU OBSERVATIONS
(2017-12)
Vegetation play a critical role in the interactions between atmosphere and biosphere. CO2 fixed by plants through photosynthesis process at ecosystem scale is termed as gross primary production (GPP). It is also the first ...
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 ...
The effects of diet and carcinogen on the natural killer cell activity of sprague dawley rats.
(1981)
This study was conducted to determine if dietary fat and/or administration of 7,12 dimethylbenz((alpha))anthracene (DMBA) to Sprague Dawley rats affected the natural killer cell activity of these animals.
