A genetics-based approach for the determination of Phalacrocorax auritus diet on Lake Nipissing
… techniques, I have developed a non-invasive genetics-based method for the determination of Double-crested Cormorant (DCCO) diet using the 16S ribosomal RNA gene. I observed general trends that were consistent over the overall two year-long study. I observed small differences in diet dependant …

Using Environmental DNA Surveys to Assess Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas) Presence in Mississippi and Louisiana
… mydas</em>) is listed as Endangered on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species, largely due to anthropogenic impacts. In Mississippi and Louisiana, it is known that <em>C. mydas</em> occur in these areas, yet the comprehensive spatial and temporal …

The role of bacterial interspecies communication in polymicrobial infection of the cystic fibrosis lung
… play in infection of the CF airway. Next generation sequencing technologies targeting the 16S ribosomal RNA gene were applied to DNA and RNA isolated from sputum taken from cohorts of CF and non-CF subjects to characterise the bacterial community. In parallel, metabolomics analysis of …

Exploiting the Conflict Within: Examining Tripartite Interactions for Development of Next Generation Mosquito Microbiome Vector Control Strategies.
… robust microbial driven control stratagem. Next generation sequencing of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene was utilized to examine the microbiome in each of the objectives presented here. The first objective explored how different sugar types influence the microbiome of Aedes aegypti resulted in two …

The gut microbiome: a contributing mechanism to the anti-seizure effect of topiramate
… drugs. This leads patients to seek alternative treatments, which include surgery, vagus nerve stimulation, or diet alterations such as the ketogenic diet. Due to the invasiveness of surgeries, difficulty to maintain specialty diets, or lack of effectiveness of these treatments in some …

Microbial succession in human rib skeletal remains and fly-human microbial transfer during decomposition
… decomposer community was characterized using 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing from six human donor subjects placed in the spring and summer seasons at the Southeast Texas Applied Forensic Science Facility. A core bone decomposer microbiome dominated by taxa within phylum Proteobacteria was …

Metagenomic analysis of the periodontal and peri-implant microbiome: a link between health and disease status
… of new genomic technologies, including next-generation sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. Metagenomic studies of the oral microbial community have revealed the complexities of the oral cavity, that contains hundreds of different bacterial, viral and fungal species. Most species are …

The impact of UV radiation on the health and pathogen development of the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas)
… bacteria within oyster tissues were designed, a generic conventional polymerase chain reaction PCR and a DIG-labelled in situ hybridisation (ISH) assay. These tools were designed to complement existing PCR and qPCR tools and allow for improved understanding of pathogen behaviour inside a C. gigas …

Bacterial community composition in stream biofilms is influenced by algal response to varying light and phosphorus ratios
… populations that utilize glycolate possess the gene, glycolate oxidase subunit D (glcD). This gene was used as a marker to identify changes in specific bacterial populations that respond to algal exudates. In this study, development of periphyton biofilms in an experimental stream system was …
