Phage-associated lysozyme of Staphylococcus Aureus :its characterization and use in genetic transformation
(East Carolina University, 1974) -
Phenotypic and Genetic Divergence among Poison Frog Populations in a Mimetic Radiation
(2013)The evolution of Müllerian mimicry is, paradoxically, associated with high levels of diversity in color and pattern. In a mimetic radiation, different populations of a species evolve to resemble different models, which can ... -
Photofrin-Mediated Electroporation-Assisted Photodynamic Therapy of MCF-7 Human Breast Cancer and B16-F10 Mouse Melanoma Cells
(East Carolina University, 2011)Photodynamic therapy is a relatively new player on the field of cancer treatment that involves the injection of a nontoxic light-sensitive drug followed by light excitation, creating reactive oxygen species that cause ... -
Phylogenetics and Systematics of the Millipede genus Brachycybe Wood, 1864 (Platydesmida: Andrognathidae)
(East Carolina University, 2010)The genus Brachycybe Wood, 1864 (Platydesmida: Andrognathidae) belongs to an ancient millipede lineage that has persisted since the Miocene. The group displays a Holarctic distribution with species in the eastern Nearctic, ... -
Phylogeny and Classification of the Trapdoor Spider Genus : An Integrative Approach to Evaluating Taxonomic Hypotheses
(2010)Background Revised by Bond and Platnick in 2007, the trapdoor spider genus Myrmekiaphila comprises 11 species. Species delimitation and placement within one of three species groups was based on modifications of the male ... -
Physiological and Phylogenetic Studies of the Biogeography of Alkaliphilic Heterotrophic Bacteria from Serpentinizing Habitats
(East Carolina University, 2014)Serpentinization occurs when ultramafic rocks containing the mineral olivine react with water to produce highly reducing conditions, which are commonly coincident with high concentrations of hydrogen. Hydrogen provides ... -
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 ...
