Fall 2017
Gram-negative bacteria are separated from the environment by a multilayered structure known as the envelope, which is comprised of the outer membrane, the inner membrane and the aqueous periplasmic space that lies between the two membranes. Biogenesis of the envelope is a complex process that...

Relationship of Radiated Heat Loss Measured by Infrared Thermography to Residual Feed Intake in Beef Heifers
DownloadFall 2013
Infrared thermography (IRT) has shown utility in predicting residual feed intake (RFI) differences in mature cows, growing bulls and finishing steers. It was hypothesized that efficient heifers would exhibit decreased radiated heat loss. RFIfat determined on sixty-one crossbred beef heifers over...

Self-cycling fermentation (SCF) is an advanced, automated, semi-continuous fermentation strategy that is used to improve the volumetric productivity of bioproduction. Typically, a microbial culture is grown in a reactor and half the reactor contents are harvested once a limiting nutrient is...

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...

Bacterial species in the order Enterobacterales populate diverse ecological niches including soil, water, nematodes, insects, plants, and vertebrates. Many Enterobacteriaceae temporarily inhabit the intestine of vertebrate hosts but also survive and thrive in extra-intestinal habitats to transit...

The Cpx and Rcs responses signal envelope stress through independent mechanisms but are coordinated through the RprA sRNA in the cytoplasm
DownloadFall 2018
Bacteria have several mechanisms which play a major role in adaptation to environmental stresses. One method involves the use of signal sensing pathways that activate transcription of specific genes encoding proteins to alleviate bacterial stress. Upon sensing an inducing cue, an inner...

The Cpx envelope stress response of Escherichia coli regulates and is regulated by the small RNA RprA
DownloadFall 2015
When bacteria sense changes in their environment, they adapt by altering the expression of their genes in such a way that accommodates the change. To do this, bacterial cells can modulate the activity of their genes at either the level of transcription, or at the post-transcriptional level....

The Effects of a Quality Grading System on the Development of Consumer Driven Best Practice Value Chains: The Example of Meat Standards Australia
DownloadFall 2010
This research project analyzes the beef grading system in Australia. Firstly, the Meat Standards Australia (MSA) grading system as a potential value-creating and value chain-coordinating mechanism is investigated. In-depth interviews with value chain stakeholders and industry experts suggest...
