A QUALITATIVE STUDY OF MICROBES IN SERPENTINITE-HOSTED SUBSURFACE ENVIRONMENTS
Blackburn, Joe W. (East Carolina University, 1/13/16)Over the last two decades, serpentinizing environments have been studied with regards to the biogeochemistry of these habitats, but significantly less is known about the microbiology within these environments. Serpentinization ... -
The AraC-Like Transcriptional Regulator DhbR Is Required for Maximum Expression of the 2,3-Dihydroxybenzoic Acid Biosynthesis Genes in Brucella abortus 2308 in Response to Iron Deprivation
Anderson, Eric; Paulley, James T.; Roop II, R. Martin (East Carolina University, 2008-03)Phenotypic evaluation of isogenic mutants derived from Brucella abortus 2308 indicates that the AlcR homolog DhbR (2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid [2,3-DHBA] biosynthesis regulator) modulates the expression of the genes involved ... -
Determining the Chemical Structure of Brucebactin: The Sole Complex Siderophore Utilized by the Pathogenic Bacterium Brucella Abortus
Atkinson, Xavier J. (East Carolina University, 1/13/16)Brucellosis is a zoonotic bacterial disease that affects many around the world. There are over half a million new cases each year and prevalence rates in some areas of the world exceed 10 new cases per 100,000 in the ... -
Genetic regulation of maize floral development - insights from the transcriptome and translatome
Yang, Hailong (East Carolina University, 2022-06-24)Flowers are produced by floral meristems, groups of stem cells that give rise to floral organs. In grasses, including the major cereal crops, flowers (florets) are contained in spikelets, which contain one to many florets, ... -
Identification of a Potential RNAzyme in Brucella abortus with Heme-Dependent Peroxidase Activity
Chapman, Dalton L (East Carolina University, 2020-11-19)Bovine brucellosis is of significant concern to the U.S. cattle industry and has not been controlled by vaccination in some areas of the world. The inability to control this pathogen is currently a serious public health ... -
The Manganese Transporter MntH Is a Critical Virulence Determinant for Brucella abortus 2308 in Experimentally Infected Mice
Anderson, Eric; Paulley, James T.; Gaines, Jennifer M.; Valderas, Michelle W.; Martin, Daniel W.; Menscher, Evan A.; Brown, Timothy D.; Burns, Colin Sanderson; Roop II, R. Martin (East Carolina University, 2009-08)The gene designated BAB1_1460 in the Brucella abortus 2308 genome sequence is predicted to encode the manganese transporter MntH. Phenotypic analysis of an isogenic mntH mutant indicates that MntH is the sole high-affinity ... -
Purifying Scorpion Antarease from E. coli
Hudson, Victoria Elizabeth (East Carolina University, 2018-05-03)Vesicular trafficking is a system of intracellular transport that allows for the distribution and secretion of molecules. In the pancreas, normal secretory processes have been found to be interrupted by Antarease, a ... -
The Direct and Indirect Impact of Sucralose on Immune Function
Gray, Taylor Jefferson (East Carolina University, 2017-12-18)1, 6-dichloro-1, 6- dideoxy-[beta]-D-fructofuranosyl-4-chloro-4-deoxy -[alpha]-D-galactopyranoside, or Sucralose, is a highly popular NAS (Non-caloric artificial sweetener) used by millions across the globe for sweetening ... -
THE EFFECT OF SOCIAL EXPERIENCE ON THE SYNERGISTIC NEUROMODULATION OF MOTOR CIRCUITS
Clements, Katie (East Carolina University, 2022-07-15)Forming social groups is a critical adaptive strategy for the survival of many animal species, where conflict between members can result in dominance relationships. Dominance relationships are often formed through aggressive ...
