Exploration of Laboratory Techniques Relating to Cryptosporidium Parvum Propagation, Life Cycle Observation, and Host Immune Responses to Infection
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Cryptosporidium causes cryptosporidiosis, a self-limiting diarrheal disease in healthy people, but causes serious health issues for immunocompromised individuals. Cryptosporidiosis has been observed in humans since the ...
Impact of Pre-Harvest Environmental Factors on the Survival of Enterohemorrhagic E. Coli and Salmonella on Lettuce
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Enteric diseases linked to fresh produce consumption are on a rise. Pathogens can contaminate produce in the pre-harvest field and can survive for long time periods. Thus, this study quantified the survival of Enterohemorrhagic ...
Preliminary Investigation of Escherichia Coli K12 Biofilm Inhibition on an Antimicrobial Polysiloxane Coating using Whole Transcriptome Profiling
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Whole transcriptome profiling was examined in E. coli K12 when cultured on the surface of a pure polysiloxane coating (Sil) and a polysiloxane coating containing a tethered quaternary ammonium compound (QSil) shown to ...
Glucose Uptake by the Cellulolytic Rumen Anaerobe Bacteroides Succinogenes
(North Dakota State University, 1986)
Glucose uptake by the cellulclytic rumen anaerobe, Bacteroides succinogenes S85, was measured under conditions that maintained anaerobiosis and osmotic stability. This organism was found to possess a highly specific, active ...
In the Pursuit of Poultry: β-Phenylethylamine and Ethyl Acetoacetate as Antimicrobials on Chicken
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
This research examines the effect of β-phenylethylamine (PEA), a natural trace amine commonly found in food, and ethyl acetoacetate (EAA), an FDA approved flavoring agent and food additive, as novel antimicrobials on ...
The Link Between Gut Microbiota Metabolism and Host Gluconeogenesis by Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
The gut microbiota (GM) plays a beneficial role in host metabolism. In mammals, the GM ferments dietary fiber into short chain fatty acids (SCFA), like propionate, that improves glucose metabolism. Rats fed a propionate ...
Effects of Intensive Agricultural Management Practices on Soil Microbial Assembly and Recruitment
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Soil microbial communities play an important role in ecosystems in various ways to promote healthy and fertile soil. However, intensive agricultural practices with excessive tillage and fertilizer applications can affect ...
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 ...
lntraspecific Variation In Pathogenic Cryptosporidium parvum
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Cryptosporidium causes cryptosporidiosis, an infectious diarrheal disease, which
can become chronic and life-threatening in immunocompromised individuals.
Cryptosporidium parvum and C. hominis are the primary causes of ...
