Oxygen deprivation (hypoxia and anoxia) is an environmental stress affecting plants worldwide in many natural and man-made ecosystems. Aquaporins exhibit multiple physiological functions in challenging environments. The central role of aquaporins in plant water relations has been widely...

Organelles serve to compartmentalize biochemical functions within the eukaryotic cell. However, to collectively maintain cellular homeostasis, organelles must communicate in some way in order to coordinate these functions. Two such organelles,the peroxisome and the lipid droplet, are both...

How studying the interaction of Sir4 with a subset of Nups uncovered a new chromatin bound complex.
DownloadFall 2017
The nucleus is the defining feature of eukaryotic cells and its major function is to house the cell’s genome and segregate it from the surrounding cytoplasm. The membranes encapsulating the nucleus constitute the nuclear envelope (NE). The interactions between the NE and chromatin facilitate the...

Flaviviruses are important human pathogens that have an enormous impact on global health. Examples that have been studied in my research include dengue virus (DENV), West Nile virus (WNV) and most recently, Zika virus (ZIKV). Currently, there are very few vaccines against or therapeutic...

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...

Evolution of sourdough microbiota in spontaneous sourdoughs started with different plant materials
Download2016-01-01
Ripari, Valery, Gänzle, Michael G., Berardi, Enrico
The preparation of sourdough in bakeries may include the use of inocula, e.g. fruits, flowers or rumen cuts to accelerate the process of selection of suitable microorganisms. The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of these inocula on the microbial evolution in sourdoughs. First, the...

Metabolic Engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the Production of Isopentenol, a Valuable Biochemical and Potential Biofuel
DownloadFall 2015
The rising concern about limited fossil fuel resources and the environmental factors associated with it has motivated the development of alternative fuels. Ethanol is currently the primary substitute to gasoline, however the intrinsic properties of ethanol have limited its ability to fully...

In vivo and in vitro evidence for biochemical coupling of reactions catalyzed by lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase and diacyglycerol acyltransferase
Download2015
Greer, Michael S., Pan, Xue, Weselake, Randall J., Chen, Guanqun, Zou, Jitao, Caldo, Kristian Mark P., Kazachkov, Michael
Seed oils of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) and many other plant species contain substantial amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is the major site for PUFA synthesis. The exact mechanisms of how these PUFAs are channeled from PC into triacylglycerol (TAG) needs...

The Impact of Self-Cycling Fermentation on the Production of Shikimic Acid in Populations of Engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae
DownloadFall 2015
Shikimic acid is an intermediary metabolite in the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids in plants and microorganisms. It is also a precursor for the production of specialty chemical ingredients used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and healthcare products. However, the current commercial method of...
