Analysis of Antibiotic-Resistance Gene Transfer Among Environmental Isolates
(2021-04)
Following the discovery of penicillin and methicillin, antibiotics became commonplace by the 1950s. However, due to misuse and overuse, new problems surfaced in clinical settings. Bacteria developed resistance to antibiotics, ...
Creating and Testing Tools for Investigating Gp93 Biology
(2021-04)
Mammalian glycoprotein 96 (gp96) and canopy 3 (CNPY3) are both required for chaperoning (folding) toll-like receptors (TLRs), infection recognition proteins, and integrins, cell adhesion molecules. Due to sequence similarity, ...
Polycystic Kidney Disease and Protein Localization : Analysis of the Role of gar-3 in Protein Localization to Cilia in Caenorhabditis Elegans
(2021-04)
Gar-3, a gene that encodes a G protein-coupled acetylcholine receptor, has been shown to play roles in both neurotransmission and protein localization to synapses. We asked whether gar-3 also affects the localization of ...
Ethanol Exposure Alters Motor Abilities in Zebrafish Embryos
(2021-04)
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is a condition that can affect the physical health and behavior of developing fetuses as a result of the pregnant mother’s consumption of alcohol. FAS is found in 0.2-1.5 infants out of 1,000. ...
Methylene Chloride Exposure Alters Morphological Development in Zebrafish Larvae
(2021-04)
The prevalence of individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has strikingly increased in recent decades. Both genetic and environmental factors have been associated with neurodevelopmental changes causing ...
Microplastic pollution of Ulothrix Filamentous Algae in Western Lake Superior
(2022-04)
Lake Superior and the St. Louis River Estuary (SLRE) are important ecological and economical resources for the Upper Midwest as waterways, fisheries, and recreation destinations—however, these essential waterbodies may be ...
Incidence of Multi-Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria in Farm Soil and Manure from Wisconsin and Minnesota Farms
(2022-04)
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are becoming increasingly more common and deadly. Most of the antibiotics produced are used in the agriculture industry; particularly as feed additive to prevent disease and increase animal ...
Plant Functional Trait Diversity is Influenced by Spatial Scaling and Moisture
(2022-04)
Ecological communities are subsets of larger-scale species pools. Community assembly may be due to ecological drift, resulting in communities with a random set of species and functional traits. However,
ecological selection ...
