Bacteriophages as antimicrobial agents against bacterial contaminants in yeast fermentation processes
DownloadFall 2013
Bacterial contaminants are ubiquitous in yeast fermentation processes for biofuel production. In general, they compete with yeasts for nutrients, reducing overall production yield. The present project investigates the application of bacteriophages (phages), viruses infecting and killing...

DESULFURIZATION OF OXIDIZED BITUMEN USING MICROORGANISMS THROUGH PROCESS-BASED DIRECTED EVOLUTION
DownloadSpring 2014
Many Rhodococcus species are capable of utilizing the 4S biodesulfurization pathway to convert dibenzothiophene (DBT) to 2-hydroxybiphenyl (2-HBP) and sulfite, the latter of which is partially incorporated into cell biomass. The first steps of the 4S pathway involve the oxidation of DBT into...

Development of Surrogate Spinal Cords for the Evaluation of Electrode Arrays Used in Intraspinal Implants
DownloadSpring 2012
A surrogate spinal cord was developed to test the mechanical stability of electrode arrays for intraspinal implants. The mechanical and surface properties of candidate materials were tested. The elastic modulus was characterized using dynamic mechanical analysis. Forces required to indent the...

Development of a Self-Cycling Fermentation Approach to Improve Productivities for Ethanol Production
DownloadSpring 2020
Biofuels have great potential to help secure the global energy supply and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Taking cellulosic ethanol as an example, it is a biofuel produced from lignocellulosic material (e.g. wood and corn stover), which has the most abundant polymer on the planet. The production...
