PCR-DGGE analysis of microbial communities associated with Campylobacter spp. on equipment surfaces at two pig processing facilities
DownloadFall 2009
The objectives of this research were to use molecular methods to investigate the diversity of the bacterial population in two meat processing facilities. Analysis of PCR-DGGE profiles revealed that neither the type of surface material (stainless steel or silicon) nor the composition of the...

Using "omics" approaches to study anaerobic hydrocarbon biodegradation by microbes indigenous to oil sands tailings ponds
DownloadSpring 2014
In oil sands tailings ponds, methanogenesis is driven in part by the degradation of hydrocarbons in residual solvents used as a diluent during bitumen extraction, such as naphtha. Alkanes constitute a large proportion of these unrecovered hydrocarbons in mature fine tailings (MFT). Methanogenic...
