Interaction of Pseudomonas putida and Listeria monocytogenes in mixed culture biofilms / by Greg Kepka.
(2008)
"Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen that causes problems in many food processing plants because it produces biofilms and thus is difficult to control by regular cleaning and sanitizing procedures. It has been ...
Effects of timber management practices on the use of aquatic feeding areas by moose (Alces alces) in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence and boreal transition forests of Central Ontario
(2003)
During spring and summer in Ontario, moose are commonly observed at sites known as
moose aquatic feeding areas. Feeding on aquatic vegetation is thought to be an important source
of sodium for moose at this time of year. ...
Detecting trends in walleye (Stizostedion v. vitreum, Mitchill) abundance using catch-effort data
(1995)
Three methods of analyzing catch-effort data were
investigated regarding their relationship to walleye abundance:
mean CUE, Gini coefficient and the relative frequency of zero CUE
(RFZ). Walleye recreational fishery ...
Bioenergetic evaluation of a whole-lake nanosilver addition on Yellow Perch (Perca flavescens)
(2018)
Nanosilver (nAg) is an antibacterial and antimicrobial agent. Its wide use in hundreds of commercial products and industrial applications suggests a high potential for release into the environment. Previous research indicates ...
Genetic profiling variation caused by tissue type, error, and damage
(2006)
Genetic profiling variations caused by tissue type, error, and damage have been studied only minimally in the past. Even though it is well accepted that damage to the DNA molecule and PCR induced error occur, little focus ...
The effects of naturally-derived plant compounds on pseudomonas aeruginosa pathogenicity
(2014-12-12)
Pseudomonas aeruginosa has risen as one of the most resistant bacterial pathogens affecting people worldwide. Inefficacy of current antimicrobial treatments to relieve P. aeruginosa infections demands the need for novel ...
Direct and indirect effects of post-fire conditions on successional pathways and ecological processes in black spruce-Kalmia forests
(2002)
The goal of this thesis was to estimate the relative importance of the mechanisms by
which forest stands of east-central Newfoundland are replaced by unproductive dwarf-shrub
communities following wildfire. Sheep laurel ...
Study of host pathogen interactions using a model of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection of lung epithelial cells / by Rebecca Barnes.
(2008)
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pulmonary pathogen that can cause acute, life-threatening pneumonia in immunocompromised individuals, it is a common cause of high-mortality ventilator associated pneumonia, and ...
Towards the optimisation of a detection system for markers linked to neural tube defects
(2008)
Neural tube defects are the second most common birth defect of the central
nervous system. The aim of this research is to design and optimise a novel detection
system to analyse five markers that have been shown to be ...
Characterization of genetic determinants for growth and structure of Listeria monocytogenes biofilms / by Nicholas Choy.
(2007, c200)
This thesis investigated wild-type 'Listeria monocytogenes ' EGD and five of its corresponding mutant strains (M1, M4, M7, M11 and M14) for their ability to form biofilms on glass at 22°C and 37°C, with and without shear ...
