Inactivation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida humilis in Potassium Phosphate Buffer by Pulsed Electric Fields
DownloadSpring 2016
Pulsed electric field (PEF) is a promising athermal food preservation technology, having the potential to provide a better balance between food safety and food quality. But the high cost of PEF treatment has limited the commercial application of this technology. The aim of this MSc thesis...

Indole-3-Acetic Acid is produced by Emiliania Huxleyi Coccolith-bearing cells and triggers a physiological response in bald cells
Download2016
Bramucci, Anna R., Labeeuw, Leen, Khey, Joleen, Case, Rebecca J., de la Mata, A. Paulina, Harynuk, James, Atwal, Harjot
Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is an auxin produced by terrestrial plants which influences development through a variety of cellular mechanisms, such as altering cell orientation, organ development, fertility, and cell elongation. IAA is also produced by bacterial pathogens and symbionts of plants...

Interim report on a comparative study of benthic algal primary productivity in the AOSERP study area
Download1979
Hickman, M., Charlton, S. E. D., Jenkerson, C. G.
Studies concentrating upon the epilithon were conducted in five tributary rivers flowing into the Athabasca River: the Muskeg, Steepbank, Hangingstone, MacKay, and Ells rivers. The species composition of the epilithic algae was determined during June to November 1978. Diatoms and blue-green...

Introgression of Clubroot Resistance from Brassica oleracea into B. napus Canola through Interspecific Cross
DownloadSpring 2022
Clubroot disease caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin is a serious threat to canola production in Canada. Most of the available clubroot-resistant canola cultivars carry major resistance genes of the Brassica A genome. However, the ineffectiveness of this type of resistance has been...

Kinetic improvement of an algal diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 via fusion with an acyl-CoA binding protein
Download2020-01-01
Xu, Yang, Caldo, Kristian Mark P., Falarz, Lucas, Jayawardhane, Kethmi, Chen, Guanqun
SUMMARY Microalgal oils in the form of triacylglycerols (TAGs) are broadly used as nutritional supplements and biofuels. Diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) catalyzes the final step of acyl-CoA-dependent biosynthesis of TAG and is considered a key target for manipulating oil production....

Modulation of citrate metabolism alters aluminum tolerance in yeast and transgenic canola overexpressing a mitochondrial citrate synthase
Download2003
Basu, U., Anoop, V. M., Taylor, G. J., McAlister-Henn, L., McCammon, M. T.
Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major constraint for crop production in acid soils, although crop cultivars vary in their tolerance to Al. We have investigated the potential role of citrate in mediating Al tolerance in Al-sensitive yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae; MMYO11) and canola (Brassica napus...

Molecular and functional characterization of sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase of plants
DownloadSpring 2011
sn-Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) catalyzes the acylation of sn-1 position of sn-glycerol-3-phosphate to produce lysophosphatidic acid and Coenzyme A. GPATs are involved in several lipid synthetic pathways and play important physiological roles in plant development. The present...

Owttrim, George W., Coleman, John R.
A recA-like gene isolated from the cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis was cloned and partially characterized. When introduced into Escherichia coli recA mutants, the 7.5-kilobase-pair plasmid-borne DNA insert restored resistance to methyl methanesulfonate and UV irradiation, as well as...
