Physiological Studies of Alkaliphilic Anaerobic Organotrophs in a Serpentinizing Subsurface Habitat
(East Carolina University, 2014)Microbial habitats in serpentinizing ultramafic rocks represent one of the largest, yet least understood portions of the biosphere, with potentially major consequences for global biogeochemical cycles. Serpentinization is ... -
Post-Transcriptional Regulation of mRNA Metabolism during Differentiation of 3T3-L1 Cells: Role of HuR
(East Carolina University, 2010)Our studies address early control points in the differentiation process that are necessary for expression as well as the maintenance of the adipocyte phenotype. We have focused on the post-transcriptional regulation of ... -
Regulation of KSHV replication by glycoprotein B: chronicles of a virus and its host
(East Carolina University, 2011)Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), the causative agent of three cancers: Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), and the plasmablastic form of multicentric Castleman disease (MCD), shares many ... -
The regulation of anthranilate synthesis for the production of pqs in pseudomonas aeruginosa
(East Carolina University, 2013)The ubiquitous bacterium P. aeruginosa is an important human pathogen that causes devastating infections in immunocompromised patients and chronic infections in cystic fibrosis patients. The ability of P. aeruginosa to ... -
Transcriptional Analysis of the Bacteroides fragilis Starch Utilization Operon, osuA
(East Carolina University, 2011)The opportunistic pathogen Bacteroides fragilis is a symbiotic organism that inhabits the human gastrointestinal tract where it utilizes dietary and host-derived polysaccharides as carbon and energy sources. If abdominal ... -
Transcriptional regulation of 'pqsR', a gene that encodes a regulator of quinolone signal synthesis and virulence in 'Pseudomonas aeruginosa'
(East Carolina University, 2015)The gram-negative bacterium 'Pseudomonas aeruginosa' is an opportunistic pathogen that frequently causes nosocomial infections and serious chronic lung infections in cystic fibrosis patients. During infection 'P. aeruginosa' ...
