Assessing Algal Community Structure and Nutrient Uptake Kinetics Across a Nutrient Gradient in Agricultural Streams
DownloadFall 2020
Streams provide important ecosystem services, such as the transformation of organic matter and water purification, while transporting water from headwaters to larger receiving waterbodies downstream. Excess nutrients introduced through anthropogenic land use put stress on aquatic ecosystems and...

Association between Gut Colonization of Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci and Liver Transplant Outcomes
DownloadSpring 2020
Chiang Jurado, Diana Alejandra
Background: Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) colonization is common in liver transplant candidates. In addition to the risk of invasive enterococcal infections, dominance of VRE colonization in the gut may contribute to low microbiota diversity playing a role in the transplant outcomes. The...

Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Ascophyllum nodosum for the Co-Production of Biofuels and Value-Added Products
DownloadSpring 2019
Vargas Sepulveda, Hector Mauricio
There has been an increasing interest in the use of biorefining feedstocks for the production of value-added products. Seaweeds are of special interest, due to the fact that they do not compete for land use with food crops, have low to no lignin content, and can be grown in waste water or at sea,...

Fall 2018
Surface colonization is ubiquitous in marine environments, and bacteria are one of the first, or primary colonizers, to attach to newly formed surfaces. Marine algae are host to a plethora of such bacterial colonizers, one of the most abundant being roseobacters. Most of known pathogenic or...
