Xylo-oligosaccharides and virginiamycin differentially modulate gut microbial composition in chickens
Download2015
Zhao, Xin, Pourabedin, Mohsen, Guan, Leluo
Background The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance in pathogens have led to a restriction on the use of antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in animal feed in some countries. The potential negative after-effects of a ban on AGPs could be mitigated by improving animal intestinal health...

Genotoxicity and Mutagenicity of Extractable Organics from Oil Sands Process-Affected Water
DownloadFall 2015
Oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) is produced in the surface mining industry during the hot-water extraction of bitumen from oil-sands ore. Its acid extractable organic (AEO) fraction is known to be acutely toxic, but few studies have addressed its genotoxicity or mutagenicity. Here, the in...

Abdelrahman, Ali Satti Abdellatif
In northern Alberta, the bitumen extraction process from oil sands ores consumes large amounts of water, resulting in the generation of huge volumes of oil sand process water (OSPW). Currently, the treatment of OSPW is considered a major challenge facing the oil sands industry. Moreover, among...

Feed efficiency affects profitability and sustainability in beef production systems. Since ruminal microbes play essential roles in feed digestion and conversion, the overall objective of this project was to investigate the association between ruminal bacteria and feed efficiency of beef cattle....

The extraction, transport and refining of crude oil generates a diverse group of contaminants that pose a risk to both fresh and saltwater fishes. Adult fish can detect and actively avoid exposure to these pollutants; however, the embryonic and larval fish cannot outswim a toxic plume and are...

Anthropogenic contaminants can impair olfactory responses to natural odorants. In fishes, these impairments may be used as a metric of sub-lethal toxicity. My studies aimed to determine the effects of two contaminant sources on fish olfaction as measured by electro-olfactography (EOG). The...

The oil sands landscape in northern Alberta is interspersed with large tailings ponds that hold wastewater from bitumen mining and extraction processes. Recent monitoring results indicate that annually many thousands of birds, mostly migrating waterfowl, land on the ponds associated with this...

Analysis of goldfish innate immunity following exposure to oil sands process affected water
DownloadFall 2013
The acute and sub chronic effects of oil sands process affected water (OSPW) and its toxic component, naphthenic acids (NAs) were examined. I exposed goldfish for one (acute), or 12 (sub chronic) weeks and examined immune gene expression, macrophage function, the ability of exposed fish to...

Turbidity Mitigation in an Oil Sands End Pit Lake through pH Reduction and Fresh Water Addition
DownloadFall 2016
The remediation of oil sands wastes such as fluid fine tailings (FFT) and oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) are of increasing concern in the oil sands industry. End pit lakes are one remediation option currently being researched at commercial scale in Base Mine Lake (BML) operated by...

Biological Treatment of Naphthenic Acids and Other Organic Compounds in Oil Sands Process-Affected Waters
DownloadFall 2014
The Alberta oil sands contain one of the world’s largest reserves of oil - over 169 billion barrels of bitumen are economically recoverable with current extraction technologies. Surface mining, whereby the ore is extricated from the earth and bitumen is obtained via a hot water extraction...
