Metagenomic Profiling Of Cave Biofilms, With A Focus On Chemolithoautotrophy And Pseudonocardiaceae, John A. Fulginiti
Metagenomic Profiling Of Cave Biofilms, With A Focus On Chemolithoautotrophy And Pseudonocardiaceae, John A. Fulginiti
Masters Theses
The dark, humid, and nutrient depleted conditions of caves set limitations on habitability and result in microbial diversity and community structures that differ from surface environments. Recent studies investigating cave microbiomes reveal that Pseudonocardiaceae, a family of bacteria belonging to the phylum Actinomycetota, are abundant in cave sediment and on rocks as subaerial biofilms, however little work has been done on attempting to characterize their diversity and metabolism within the environment. This study used shotgun metagenomics to characterize the functional potential of Pseudonocardiaceae, as well as other cave microbes, in cave site KN14 located in Knox County, Tennessee. Functions of …
An Evaluation Of Emergent And Established Tick Species At Multiple Geographic Scales: Community Impacts And Ecological Predictors, Rebecca Ann Butler
An Evaluation Of Emergent And Established Tick Species At Multiple Geographic Scales: Community Impacts And Ecological Predictors, Rebecca Ann Butler
Doctoral Dissertations
Tick species and their associated pathogens are rapidly expanding their geographic range due to climate change, accidental introductions, and globalization. In the United States (US), exotic and invasive species such as Haemaphysalis longicornis interact with established tick species in the environment and on animal hosts. In addition, tickborne pathogens (TBP), novel and domestic, are continuing to expand geographically. Therefore, four research studies were dedicated to understanding ecological interactions of native and exotic tick species and their associated pathogens on human, companion, livestock, and wildlife hosts at varying geographic scales. First, forestry-related environmental variables were analyzed for their association on the …

Computational Analysis Of Microbial Sequence Data Using Statistics And Machine Learning, Zhixiu Lu
Computational Analysis Of Microbial Sequence Data Using Statistics And Machine Learning, Zhixiu Lu
Doctoral Dissertations
Since the discovery of the double helix of DNA in 1953, modern molecular biology has opened the door to a better understanding of how genes control chemical processes within cells, including protein synthesis. Although we are still far from claiming a complete understanding, recent advances in sequencing technologies, increased computational capacity, and more sophisticated computational methods have allowed the development of various new applications that provide further insight into DNA sequence data and how the information they encode impacts living organisms and their environment. Sequencing data can now be used to start identifying the relationships between microorganisms, where they live, …
