Characterization of an arsenite-oxidizing caballeronia sp. soil bacterium and its mutualistic relationship with trifolium pratense for arsenic remediation
(2021)The proposed application of the mutualistic interaction between a native arsenicoxidizing soil bacteria and Trifolium pratense in Northwestern Ontario mine sites is a novel approach to remediation. This thesis studies the ... -
Characterization of sediment, sewage and 0157 E. coli: a comparison of their virulence genes, biofilm forming capacities, antibiotic resistance and level of reactive oxygen species (ROS)
(2018)Even though sediment Escherichia coli is a common source of contamination in freshwater environments, their virulence and physiological characteristics are not well studied. The goal of this study was to compare the virulence ... -
Isolation of arsenite-oxidizing bacteria with plant growth promoting characteristics to enhance phytoremediation of arsenic
(2021)A common strategy for remediation of arsenic is bacterial remediation by oxidation of As(III) to the less toxic As(V). Another widely accepted technique for arsenic remediation is phytoremediation however in highly ...
