Several strains of Bacillus spp. were isolated from across Algeria, the largest African country. The strains were bioprospected from several economically-relevant environments such as oil-mining sites, salty lakes, coal mines, deserts and oil-contaminated water basins. Hundreds of isolates were...

Physiological and genomic characterization of six virulent bacteriophages of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 for biocontrol and detection applications
DownloadSpring 2019
Despite multiple control strategies in all steps of the food production chain, outbreaks of foodborne pathogens are common worldwide. More effective ways to prevent, eliminate or at least detect their presence before products reach consumers are of great interest to the general public, the food...

Rumen microbial community composition varies with diet and host, but a core microbiome is found across a wide geographical range
Download2015
Cox, Faith, Janssen, Peter H., Henderson, Gemma, Jonker, Arjan, Young, Wayne, Ganesh, Siva
Ruminant livestock are important sources of human food and global greenhouse gas emissions. Feed degradation and methane formation by ruminants rely on metabolic interactions between rumen microbes and affect ruminant productivity. Rumen and camelid foregut microbial community composition was...

Science Communication in Transition: Genomics Hype, Public Engagement, Education and Commercialization Pressures
Download2014-11-14
This essay reports on the final session of a 2-day workshop entitled ‘Genetic Diversity and Science Communication’, hosted by the CIHR Institute of Genetics in Toronto, April 2006. The first speaker, Timothy Caulfield, introduced the intersecting communities that promulgate a ‘cycle of hype’ of...

Single nucleotide polymorphisms for feed efficiency and performance in crossbred beef cattle
Download2014
Squires, J. J., Moore, S., Stothard, P., Swanson, K. C., Miller, S. P., Abo-Ismail, M. K., Vander Voort, G., Liao, X., Plastow, G., Mandell, I. B.
Background This study was conducted to: (1) identify new SNPs for residual feed intake (RFI) and performance traits within candidate genes identified in a genome wide association study (GWAS); (2) estimate the proportion of variation in RFI explained by the detected SNPs; (3) estimate the...

Social Contexts of Environmental Practices: How Sustainable Development Discourses and Trust Mediate the Use of Genomics in the Alberta Beef Industry
DownloadFall 2014
In the face of environmental degradation resulting from beef production, genomics may add to the options available to producers seeking to reduce their environmental impacts. This research seeks to understand cow/calf producer experiences with the environment, the environmental impacts of their...

Identification of bacterial isolates is important for taxonomic purposes, as well as to predict behaviour and properties of organisms in evolutionary, ecological, industrial, or medical contexts. This process embraces a polyphasic approach (phenotypic, genotypic, and phylogenetic), but has been...

Temporal isolation contributes to ecological speciation in a diversity of insect taxa. Such prezygotic isolation can reduce or stop hybridization between closely related taxa or populations, leading to speciation. Within the spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana) species complex, hybridization...
