Bacterial stimulation of lipid vesicle production in green microalga Dunaliella tertiolecta
DownloadFall 2019
Algae and bacteria form complex interactions through the exchange of bioactive molecules and nutrients. A wide range of phenotypes, and often their very survival, are influenced by these chemically mediated relationships, shaping the ecology and diversity of marine communities. Here we sought to...

Examining the Potential for Bacterial Build-up on Apparel Fabrics with Repeated Use - A Laboratory Study
DownloadSpring 2022
When clothing is worn multiple times by a consumer, a build-up of oily soils, dirt, odours, and bacteria can transfer from the wearer to the garment. The bacteria that have been transferred to the garment may result in unwanted odours. Over time, this accumulation of bacteria may cause persistent...

Growth Characterization and Transcriptomics of Methanotrophic Bacteria as Effected by Carbon and Nitrogen Sources
DownloadFall 2019
While industrial activities have shaped our modern world and lifestyles, one of their many important environmental effects is the significant increase in methane emissions and the resultant atmospheric methane concentrations. A common byproduct of many industries, methane is often burned off as...

Use of surfaces functionalized with phage tailspike proteins to capture and detect bacteria in biosensors and bioassays
DownloadFall 2010
The food safety and human diagnostics markets are in need of faster working, reliable, sensitive, specific, low cost bioassays and biosensors for bacterial detection. This thesis reports the use of P22 bacteriophage tailspike proteins (TSP) immobilized on silanized silicon surfaces, roughened at...
