FUSARIUM MUSAE AND FUSARIUM VERTICILLIOIDES CROSS-KINGDOM PATHOGENS: GENOMICS AND DIAGNOSTIC INNOVATION
… opportunistic human pathogens. Among them, transkingdom species capable of infecting both plants and humans represent an emerging challenge within the One Health framework. Fusarium musae exemplifies this dual ecological behavior, acting as the causal agent of postharvest banana crown rot while …

Cross-kingdom microRNA detection and influence of diet on endogenous equine microRNAs
Every year the equine industry spends millions of dollars on research to enhance equine performance, whether it be reproductive or athletic. Equine nutrition is a leading contributor to equine performance and health, with poor nutrition and diet being associated with an ever-increasing incidence of …

The role of cross-kingdom biofilms in the epiphytic growth of Zymoseptoria tritici
… use confocal microscopy to show that it can form cross-kingdom biofilms with some bacteria in vitro. I also use stimulated Raman scattering microscopy to track and quantify the flow of deuterated nutrients from plant to fungus. This novel method confirmed that Z. tritici is able to take up …

Analyzing the Role of Mucin O-Glycans in Regulating Microbial Virulence
… C. albicans pathogenicity, group behavior, and cross-kingdom interactions. Next, I determine the genetic mechanism of the glycanmediated response and identify individual synthesized glycans that are sufficient for mucins’ virulence attenuation. Lastly, I investigate the expression and production …

Aromatic Amino Acid Metabolome In The Human Gut Microbiota
… are key candidates for host-microbiota crosstalk due to the potential for convergent biosynthetic pathways. Several human signaling molecules are simple structures derived from aromatic amino acids (phenylalanine, tryptophan, and tyrosine). In this thesis, I employed targeted and …

Molecular mechanisms of microbial interactions in model systems and natural environments
… transcriptional interactions occurred in cross-kingdom pairs especially between diatoms and Proteobacteria, ranging from common functional mechanisms like cross-feeding and defense to species-specific mechanisms occurring through secondary metabolite exchanges, revealing molecular …

Engineering Redox-based Intercellular Communication Channels Towards the Control of Microbial Consortial Behavior
… a process in which cells relay information across potentially large distances through molecular interactions. The advent of synthetic biology has enabled facile manipulation of the genetic architectures governing these intercellular communication pathways, leading to the bottom-up assembly of …

The little engine that could: Characterization of noncanonical components in the speed-variable flagellar motor of the symbiotic soil bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti
… cancer therapy and diagnostics, and cross-kingdom horizontal gene transfer. While the core structural and functional components of flagella have been well characterized in the closely related enteric bacteria, Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium, major departures from this …
