Antimicrobial activity and meat colour stabilizing properties of Carnobacterium maltaromaticum
DownloadSpring 2012
Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen of concern in meat products. Also, many fresh meat products packaged for retail sale with oxygen permeable films are prone to browning, leading to a decrease in sales. The first objective of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of C....

Application of Viability Real-time PCR in Detecting Shiga Toxin-producing ππ΄π€π©π¦π³πͺπ€π©πͺπ’ π€π°ππͺ From Clinical Stool Samples
DownloadSpring 2023
Shiga toxin-producing ππ΄π€π©π¦π³πͺπ€π©πͺπ’ π€π°ππͺ (STEC) is a food-borne pathogen that causes acute gastroenteritis. It has a low infectious dose and children have an elevated risk of developing severe complications (e.g., hemolytic uremic syndrome). To prevent secondary spread, Albertaβs microbiological...

The epilithic microbial and micro-invertebrate communities under conditions of light and shade were studied from April to November 1978. During a period of increasing light intensity from May to June, the level of chlorophyll a (an algal biomass indicator) and numbers of Bacillariophyta in the...

Characterization of novel envelope proteins and their relationship with the Cpx response and stress resistance in Escherichia coli
DownloadFall 2022
Stress is a major factor every organism needs to mitigate to survive. Environmental factors such as oxygen content, temperature, and alkalinity can all induce stress and prevent life from progressing. For Escherichia coli and other members of the mammalian gastrointestinal tract they need to...

Development of a Novel Engineered Bioprocess for Oil Sands Process-Affected Water and Tailings Fines/Bitumen/Water Separation
Download2014-12-09
Gamal El-Din, M., McPhedran, K., Islam, M.S.
The oil sands bitumen extraction process results in the creation of waste products including oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) and mature fine tailings (MFT). Many technologies are currently under investigation to treat these waste products that are currently contained in vast storage...

Fall 2014
Methane is the second most important greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide with a global warming potential over 100 years 25 times that of CO2. Today, anthropogenic sources of methane comprise 60% of the global methane budget per year and tools for mitigating emissions have become increasingly...

Spring 2015
Acinetobacter baumannii remains a poorly understood, but very dangerous opportunistic pathogen. Though it lacks clear virulence traits expected of pathogens, it none the less poses a massive threat to the hospital system due to its inherent and acquired resistance to antibiotics, survival on...

Identification and Exploitation of Oligosaccharyltransferase Dependent Bacterial Glycosylation Systems
DownloadFall 2014
Protein glycosylation, the covalent attachment of carbohydrates to amino acids, was once thought to be a unique attribute of Eukaryotes and select bacteria. However, both N- (attached to asparagine) and O- (attached to serine or threonine) glycosylation systems have been identified in an ever...

Intraspecies Antagonistic Interactions Driven by the Type VI Secretion System in Vibrio cholerae
DownloadFall 2020
The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a contact-dependent molecular weapon used by bacteria to transport a variety of effectors into neighbours. Attacked cells must have immunity proteins specific to each incoming effector in order to neutralize their cytotoxic effects. Vibrio cholerae, a...

1979
Geesy, G. G., Costerton, J. W.
The direct epifluorescence method has been adapted for counting bacteria in the sometimes turbid water of the Athabasca River and this method has been used to quantify planktonic bacteria. Monthly samples over an annual cycle beginning in May 1976 showed this population ranged from 1 x 105 to 2...
