Sexual Dimorphisms in the Adipose Biology of Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide Deficient Mice
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Both VIP and PACAP deficient mice display impaired fat storage, but only the molecular adipose characteristics of PACAP KO mice are known. While mice deficient in these peptides are lean, supplementation could promote ... -
Studies in Pathogenesis of a Novel Isolate of Cronobacter Sakazakii using an In Vitro Blood Brain Barrier Model
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Genus Cronobacter is a member of the family Enterobacteriaceae consisting of several opportunistic species. The primary focus of this study was to utilize an in vitro co-culture model of the blood brain barrier to investigate ... -
Transmission and Pathogenesis of Swine Torque-Teno Virus 1 (TTSuV1)
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Torque-teno viruses (TTVs) are small ubiquitous non-enveloped single-stranded circular DNA viruses. Since their discovery in a post-transfusion hepatitis patient, they have been isolated in several vertebrate hosts with ... -
Validation of Effects of SNV From GWAS on Biofilm Phenotype Using a CRISPR System With Universal Guide RNA Sequence
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Extraintestinal E. coli have adapted to survive in secondary environments outside of the intestines of a host. The genetically diverse phylogroup D was use to validate two previous GWAS analysis that identified single ... -
Variability in Plant Growth Promoting Properties Among Clinical and Environmental Isolates of Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Stenotrophomonas maltophilia has both negative and positive attributes by being a human pathogen and plant growth promoting rhizobacterium. This study sought to determine if environmental and clinical isolates of S. ... -
ß-phenylethylamine: A Novel Chemo-Attractant Agent
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Bacterial metabolism and physiology are finely tuned mechanisms that maintain homeostasis for the bacterium and allow for responses to environmental signals. Responses could include anything from regulation of cell division ...
