(2014-12-04)The protein resistance, subsequent thromboresistance, and marine anti-biofouling ability of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) was enhanced by the addition of a flexible, hydrophobic siloxane tether which imparts configurational ...
-
(2009-05-15)Three saponin-rich extracts (20, 60, 100% methanol), four 100% methanol subfractions and seven independently acquired fractions (A-G) from guar meal, Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L. (syn. C. psoraloides), were evaluated for ...
-
(2017-05-03)Nutritional ecology provides a novel framework linking biotic factors, such as life-history traits of an animal, to abiotic factors, such as nutrients. Carrion serves as a nutrient-rich and ephemeral environment attracting ...
-
(2022-04-18)Engineered living materials (ELMs) that integrate living cells and synthetic materials have been created with stimuli-responsive capabilities. ELMs can harness the biological functions of cells and detect subtle changes ...
-
(2009-05-15)Microbial community interactions within many ecosystems are still relatively unknown. Investigating links between environmental dynamics and shifting pelagic bacterial community structures on the Texas-Louisiana shelf, ...
-
(2014-06-04)Approximately 66% of Texas surface waters are impaired with bacteria from fecal waste, including several tributaries and segments within the Galveston Bay system. This study was conducted in the waters of the Marina Del ...
-
(2013-08-05)The land application of poultry litter as a fertilizer is a common practice due to the low cost and high availability of poultry litter in some regions. However, land application can create concerns related to runoff water ...
-
(PLOS, 2015-05-19)Recent studies have revealed that microbes play an important role in the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases in various animal species, but only limited data is available about the microbiome in cats with GI ...
-
(2012-02-14)Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium that causes tuberculosis, has an incubation period ranging from a few months to several years following infection via inhalation into the lungs. Whole body fluorescence scanners ...
-
(2012-07-16)Bacteria are the major cause of surface water contamination in the United States. US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) uses the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) process to regulate the E. coli loads from fecal sources ...
-
(2014-05-03)Rhodococcus equi is a bacterium commonly isolated from soil that primarily causes pneumonia in foals and immunocompromised adult horses. Many vaccines were designed and tested to protect foals from developing pneumonia; ...
-
(2018-05-22)Microbial communities play a vital role at the base of the food web providing and recycling essential nutrients and carbon for larger organisms. Phytoplankton in the ocean are responsible for approximately 50% of global ...
-
(2022-04-22)Widespread use and availability of antibiotics has led to infectious and pathogenic bacteria developing antibiotic resistance. Various environmental factors, such as temperature, relative humidity, and wind, can also induce ...
-
(2014-09-19)Burkholderia glumae, the primary causal agent of Bacterial Panicle Blight (BPB), results in the abortion of infected rice kernels and grain rot that may result in 75% yield loss. The significance of this disease and finding ...
-
(2015-09-28)The goal of this project is to develop a method for rapid and in situ identification of live and dead bacteria using absorption spectroscopy, emission spectroscopy, and principal component analysis. To achieve this goal, ...
-
(2018-11-08)Section 303(d) of the Federal Clean Water Act cites bacterial pathogens as one of the most common cause of impairment in the streams and other water bodies in the state of Texas and the number of bacteria impaired water ...
-
(2020-05-20)Prokaryotes make up the majority of the biomass in sediment, where they play a role in cycling organic carbon and regulate the fluctuation of organic matter. Studies of abundance, genomic composition, and ecological roles ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)Two-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy is a technique whereby fluorescence spectra are recorded in matrix format as a function of excitation and emission wavelengths. This data format is very useful for the examination ...
