Structural Studies of Peptides that Influence the Pathogenicity of Bacterial Infections, and Investigation of Structure-Activity-Relationships of Antimicrobial Peptides with Application to Cancer Therapy.
DownloadFall 2017
Enterocin 7 is a two-component, leaderless bacteriocin comprised of an A and B peptide and produced by Enterococcus faecalis 710C. The secondary structure of enterocin 7B was investigated through circular dichroism. A high degree of α-helicity was discovered by circular dichroism, regardless of...

Acidocin B (AcdB), a bacteriocin from Lactobacillus acidophilus M46 that was initially reported to be a linear peptide, was purified and shown to be circular based on MALDI-TOF MS and MS/MS sequencing. MS analysis further revealed that AcdB is comprised of 58 amino acid residues, instead of 59...

The use of crude cell extracts of lactic acid bacteria optimized for beta-galactosidase activity to form galactooligosaccharides with lactose, mannose, fucose, and N-acetylglucosamine
DownloadFall 2009
Several lactic acid bacteria contain β-galactosidases. Beta galactosidases catalyze lactose hydrolysis and transfer acceptor sugars onto galactose, producing galactooligosaccharides. The aim of this work was to exploit β-galactosidases of lactic acid bacteria as crude cell extracts to produce...

Using Intravaginal Probiotics to Lower the Incidence of Uterine Infections and Improve Reproductive Performance and Productivity of Dairy Cows in Dairy Farms in Alberta
DownloadFall 2018
Uterine infections are the number one reason for culling of cows in Canada and elsewhere because are associated with high incidence of infertility. Five hundred and twenty-six dairy cows (426 Holstein and 100 Jersey cows) from 4 dairy farms in Alberta (three farms had Holstein dairy cows and one...
