The Role of Oral Nitrate Reducing Bacteria in Cardiovascular Health: Impacts of Diet and Exercise
… thesis investigated the important role of oral bacteria in blood pressure regulation and vascular function through the NO3--NO2--NO pathway following exercise or dietary interventions. Study 1 examined the effect of antibacterial mouthwash on the oral microbiome and nitrate metabolism in …

Investigating the Link between the Oral Microbiome and Cardiovascular Health in Regards to Nitrate/Nitrite Metabolism.
This thesis evaluated nitrate metabolism and the link between cardiovascular health and periodontal disease. The first study compared effects of high-nitrate vegetables and pharmacological salt supplementation on the oral microbiome composition in hypertensive individuals. Seventy participants …

Systems approaches to infer microbial community interactions and their impacts on ecosystem function
… to better understand niche competition between nitrate-reducing bacteria and sulfate-reducing bacteria in oxygen-depleted ecosystems, the importance of pathway partitioning in nitrate-reducing communities, and the role of nitrate-reducing communities in nitrous oxide emissions. I also highlight …

Dietary Intake and Bio-activation of Nitrite and Nitrate in Newborn Infants
<p>Nitrate and nitrite are commonly thought of as inert end products of nitric oxide (NO) oxidation, possibly carcinogenic food additives, or well-water contaminants. However, recent studies have shown that nitrate and nitrite play an important role in cardiovascular and gastrointestinal …

The potential for diagnosing high blood pressure at the dentist: an examination of periodontal disease and the oral microbiome in raised blood pressure.
… saliva samples to measure the composition of bacterial populations, and bacterial activity (n=75). <br/>Results: Study I: 71.4% return rate for case-finding (n=200). Undiagnosed hypertension detected in 31.5% of participants. 4.5% of the population were confirmed with undiagnosed hypertension …

The effects of atrazine on nitrogen cycling in a freshwater wetland microcosm
… cycle by inhibiting nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria. The inhibition or absence of functional groups of bacteria will limit the ability of the wetland to remove nutrients and herbicides, thus increasing nitrogen levels in non-point source pollution. All tests were conducted in the laboratory …
