Development of genome-wide genetic assays in Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Illumina sequencing and other massively-parallel, short read sequencing technologies have become prevalent methods for querying the genetic systems of organisms. This trend was initially driven by the demand for general ... -
Energy metabolism and uranium (VI) reduction by Desulfovibrio
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)Sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) of the genus Desulfovibrio can breathe uranium in a manner similar to the way in which we (human beings) breathe oxygen. In respiration, we transfer electrons from food to oxygen, producing ... -
Examination of metabolic and regulatory networks of desulfovibrio species
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)The sulfate-reducing bacteria are a morphologically diverse group of organisms characterized by the ability to couple the enzymatic reduction of sulfate to energy production and growth. This metabolic activity has profound ... -
Examination of specific amino acid residues of desulfovibrio desulfuricans cytochrome C₃ in electron transfer
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are strictly anaerobic microorganisms present throughout the environment. These microorganisms are able to utilize a variety of electron donors and couple the oxidation of those compounds ... -
Nitrate and nitrite growth inhibition of Desulfovibrio strains
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)Sulfate-reducing bacteria, common non-pathogenic soil bacteria, have the ability to limit the movement of toxic heavy metals from one environmental site to another by keeping those metals from dissolving in water. Limiting ... -
Protein components of the microbial mercury methylation pathway
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Mercury (Hg) in the environment and the resulting methylmercury (CH3Hg+) produced by microorganisms has emerged as a global concern in the last 50 years after a series of high profile, large scale contamination events, ... -
The role of Rex in regulation of sulfate reduction in Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)Although the enzymes for dissimilatory sulfate reduction by microbes have been studied, the mechanism for transcriptional regulation of the encoding genes remain unknown. In the work presented here, the model sulfate-reducing ... -
Stress response and hypothetical genes in Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)The sulfate-reducing bacteria have a significant impact on the environment and the economy, necessitating further investigation of their physiology to harness their positive attributes and to minimize the damaging byproducts. ...
