The Role of Iron in Suppressing Internal Phosphorus Loading and Toxic Cyanobacterial Blooms in Freshwater Lakes
DownloadFall 2013
Harmful algal blooms occur in nutrient-rich lakes around the world, diminishing the value of these ecosystems for wildlife and humans. Management of algal blooms is an on-going challenge for lake managers and policy makers. The overarching goal of this research was to advance our understanding of...

THE APPLICATION OF ALGAE FOR THE REMOVAL OF METALS AND NAPHTHENIC ACIDS FROM OIL SANDS TAILINGS POND WATER
DownloadFall 2014
Bitumen recovery produces a large volume of TPW, which must be reclaimed using an efficient and cost-effective method. In this thesis, the ability of algae for in situ treatment of TPW, with a focus on metal and total acid-extractable organics (TAOs) removal, was assessed. An indigenous alga,...

Coleman, John R. , Owttrim, George W.
The expression of the cyanobacterial recA gene, isolated from Anabaena variabilis, has been examined at the levels of transcript and protein abundance. Exposure of the cyanobacterium to a variety of DNA-damaging agents, including mitomycin C, methyl methanesulfonate, and UV irradiation, results...

Properties and Biotechnological Applications of Acyl‐CoA:diacylglycerol Acyltransferase and Phospholipid:diacylglycerol Acyltransferase from Terrestrial Plants and Microalgae
Download2018-07-30
Xu, Yang, Caldo, Kristian Mark P., Pal‐Nath, Dipasmita, Ozga, Jocelyn, Lemieux, M. Joanne, Weselake, Randall J., Chen, Guanqun
Triacylglycerol (TAG) is the major storage lipid in most terrestrial plants and microalgae, and has great nutritional and industrial value. Since the demand for vegetable oil is consistently increasing, numerous studies have been focused on improving the TAG content and modifying the fatty‐acid...

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...

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...

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...

IN HOT WATER: A BACTERIAL PATHOGEN DISPLAYING TEMPERATURE-ENHANCED VIRULENCE OF THE MICROALGA EMILIANIA HUXLEYI
DownloadFall 2016
Emiliania huxleyi is a globally abundant microalga that plays a significant role in biogeochemical cycles. Over the next century, sea surface temperatures are predicted to increase drastically, which will likely have significant effects on the survival and ecology of E. huxleyi. In a warming...
