Studies on phosphate solubilizing bacteria from two lakes in central southern Ontario
(2019)
It has been well documented that phosphorus pollution has been one of the most significant factors inhibiting aquatic health on Lake Simcoe. However, reports on the impacts of microbial contribution to phosphorus levels ...
Density-dependent habitat selection alters fitness in a clonal hexapod
(2019)
Density-dependent habitat selection shapes the distribution and abundance of organisms
and thus informs our understanding of the eco-evolutionary process. When habitat choice
is contingent on an individual’s expectation ...
Wild rice (Zizania palustris L.) re-establishment through mechanical removal of invasive cattails (Typha angustifolia L.)
(2019)
Re-establishment of wild rice following the removal of the invasive cattail, Typha angustifolia,

Diagnostic and treatment approaches to fibromyalgia management: quantification of peripheral blood mononuclear cell function and evaluation of radial shockwave therapy
(2019)
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic pain disorder that affects many individuals worldwide. The lack of a definitive diagnostic method and highly successful treatment approaches make it an interesting area of research. In the ...
Increased production of sugar streams from lignocellulosic materials through enzyme recycling
(2019)
The Canadian pulp and paper mills generate over 1 million tons of primary sludge per year. This sludge mainly contains small cellulosic fibers and contaminants from pulp and paper manufacture and is usually disposed of by ...
The effects of invasive dreissenid mussels on the offshore food web of Lake Simcoe, Ontario
(2019)
Dreissenid mussels have successfully invaded North America, including the Great Lakes and their surrounding waterbodies. With their establishment, there have been many notable impacts including the rerouting of energy flow ...
Causes and consequences of population changes in Black Bay Steelhead, Lake Superior
(2019)
Understanding species interactions is an important component of fisheries resource management. Like the other Great Lakes, Lake Superior’s fish species composition (and therefore interactions among species) has been changing ...
Isolation and characterization of novel cellulase and pectinase producing bacteria
(2015)
Cellulases and pectinases are the major cell wall degrading enzymes. The
microorganisms producing these enzymes have a wide range of industrial applications.
In this research, 17 bacterial isolates from rotting wood ...
