Acylation of the Lipooligosaccharide of Haemophilus influenzae and Colonization: an htrB Mutation Diminishes the Colonization of Human Airway Epithelial Cells
(American Society for Microbiology, 2002)
transferase (rfaF) involved in the synthesis of the LOS core and a ketodeoxyoctonate phosphate-dependent acyltransferase (htrB) that performs one of the late acylation reactions in lipid A synthesis. Inoculation of human bronchiolar xenografts revealed a...
Development of a novel antimicrobial food packaging film containing silver nanoparticles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
NP/PVA/BNC film. The flexibility of BNC was greatly improved by mixing with 3% PVA solution. The films exhibited good mechanical property and higher oxygen barrier capacity. The results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed the surface structure...

Enhancing methanol electro-oxidation by double oxide incorporation with platinum on carbon nanotubes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
Electro-oxidation of methanol was investigated on platinum catalyst supported on a double oxide nanocomposite support of tin oxide and carbon-doped titanium dioxide. The Pt-SnO2-C-/CNTs electro catalyst demonstrated about ...

Large-scale fabrication of SiC nanofibers and plasma interface engineering of polymer nanocomposites and dental composite restoration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
was attributed to enhanced dispersion and interfacial adhesion observed visually and by electron microscopy. A non-thermal argon plasma brush treatment increased the micro-tensile strength of dental composite restorations. FTIR observed an increase in carbonyl...
Cryo-EM reveals how adeno-associated virus engages its receptor AAVR and an investigation of the GPR108 ectodomain
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
of AAVR was not revealed in our previous structure, although it had been shown to be involved in cellular entry for many AAV serotypes, including AAV2. Utilizing cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) we explore the AAV5-AAVR interactions, using an AAV5...
Development of nanocellulose-based SERS substrate for detection of food contaminants
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The increasing occurrence of food safety incidents in recent years has triggered public health concerns. Thus, food scientists are endeavoring to develop novel methods...
Gas sorption in engineered carbon nanospaces
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
. Characterizations include surface areas and pore-size distributions from nitrogen adsorption at 77 K; pore-size distribution from methane adsorption at 293 K; scanning and transmission electron microscopy; and chemical composition analysis. In two case studies...
From unique killers to a jumbo genome - isolation and characterization of phages that infect the plant pathogen, Agrobacterium tumefaciens
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Bacteriophages and their lytic peptides can protect plants from phytopathogens such as Agrobacterium tumefaciens. To better understand mechanisms of phagemediated host killing, we isolated and characterized five lytic ...
Peptide Amphiphile micelles (pams)-biomolecular materials capeble of modulating the immune system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
physical properties and biological efficacy. This chapter is retrieved from my publication in the Journal of Bionanoscience. In the second chapter, I introduce ways to create higher order micellar structures through the inclusion of a zwitterion-like region...
Attenuation of NADPH Oxidase Activation and Glomerular Filtration Barrier Remodeling With Statin Treatment
(American Heart Association, Inc., 2008)
-treated Ren2. Structural changes on light and transmission electron microscopy, consistent with periarteriolar fibrosis and podocyte foot-process effacement, were attenuated with statin treatment. Nephrin expression was diminished in the Ren2 kidney...
Photocatalytic antimicrobial coating for food contact surfaces
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
can be applied on food contact surfaces. However, the global legal framework surrounding coatings for food contact surfaces necessitates that, in order to reach their full potential and application at food processing facilities, these coatings must...

Interplay of Bacillus anthracis spore proteins in the assembly process of the exosporium
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
of the polypeptide chain that anchors the exosporium to the spore coat during the exosporium assembly process. Using transmission electron and fluorescent microscopy, western blotting, and immunofluorescence we examined the impact of single, double, and triple...
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 to the reduction of sulfate...
