Beneficial Modulation of the Gut Microbiota Prevents Stress-Induced Adverse Effects 

Giblot Ducray, Henri Alexandre (2019-04-18)
The gut microbiota plays a significant role in maintaining the homeostasis and overall health status of the host. Moreover, it has been shown that heat stress severely alters the stability of the gut microbiota. Thus, ...

Characterization and differentiation of bacteria by hyperspectral analysis 

Riggs, Rebecca (2019-07-19)  ETD File Embargoed
Characterization and differentiation of microorganisms by hyperspectral analysis is a promising alternative to conventional techniques in clinical, food, and environmental microbiology to be used as a rapid, non-destructive ...

Development and Study of Phage-Derived Detection Probes 

Brigati, Jennifer (2005-05-15)
The threat of bioterrorism has created a demand for continuous monitoring of the environment for threat agents. Existing monitoring systems use antibody-derived detection probes which are not hardy enough to withstand ...

Novel Approach for Assessment and Mitigation of Heat-Stress Effects 

Moore, Timothy (2013-10-21)
We have characterized the efficacy of a Bacillus subtilis probiotic strain for the prevention of heat stress-related complications in rats. It has been shown that pre-treatment of rats with probiotic bacteria prevented ...

Phage-coupled Piezoelectric Biodetector for Salmonella typhimurium 

Olsen, Eric (2005-08-15)
Salmonella typhimurium is a leading cause of foodborne illness and a critical threat agent for potential bioterrorism. Current rapid detection initiatives include biosensors that routinely incorporate antibodies for ...

Preserving Biological Materials in Protective Polymers 

Krumnow, April (2005-12-15)
Acacia gum (AG) is a water soluble natural polymer that has many desirable properties for a vast range of applications including those which are used in pharmaceutical, textile and food industries. In this study, a novel ...

The role of zinc nanoparticles in the initial events of olfaction, their characterization, preservation, and microenvironmental influence. 

Singletary, Melissa (2018-04-24)
Olfactory responses are intensely enhanced with the addition of endogenous and engineered primarily-elemental small zinc nanoparticles (ZnNPs). The endogenous ZnNPs have been found as proteon nucleating centers (PNCs) ...
