Biofilm formation of environmental and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli / by Stefan Moreira.
(2010)Sample sites : Boulevard Lake & Chippewa Park, Thunder Bay ; Billy Lake, Dorion (Northwestern Ontario). -
Developing a Multiplex PCR Platform to Determine the Virulence Genes of Escherichia Coli in Boulevard Lake, Thunder Bay, Ontario
Given the evidence that E. coli can establish in the periphytic community and be released back into the water column, it is important to understand the pathogenicity of this group of E. coli by examining the virulence genes ... -
Development of bacterial systems for the production of cellulase and bioethanol
(2013-02-01)The wide varieties of extant bacterial species are often resistant to various environmental stresses. This demonstrates their frequent ability to adapt to and thrive in challenging environments. One such adaptation in ... -
Effect of periphytic Escherichia coli and lake water bacterial population on the biofilm establishment of a Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 strain
(2015)Biofilm studies Escherichia coli (E. coli) have typically focused on 0157:H7 in defined, laboratory medium. While there is value in such studies, they offer little in the way of explaining the behaviour and interactions ... -
Membrane fouling and its control in drinking water membrane filtration process
(2014-01-22)Treatment of surface water in the presence of natural organic matters (NOM) becomes a challenging issue to meet stringent rules of Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). Ultrafiltration (UF) membrane is emerging as an efficient ... -
Modeling the transport of Escherichia coli through the subsurface environment
(2009)Subsurface microbial transport is an important concern in many engineering projects. Expanding the knowledge of this process is important for the risk assessment of sites capable of releasing pathogenic bacterial species ... -
One-step inactivation of rpoS to investigate its role on Escherichia coli O157:H7 biofilm formation and survival
(2009)Homologous linear recombination using the recombinogenic capabilites of phage red genes exo, bet and gam, has been used increasingly to generate targeted gene replacements in Gram-negative bacteria. -
Submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactors for wastewater treatment and membrane fouling characterization and control
(2012-11-10)This thesis focused on effects of transient conditions (pH shocks, temperature variation and temperature shocks) on the performance and membrane fouling characterization and control of submerged anaerobic membrane ...
