Effects Of Microplastic Biofilms On An Anthropogenically Impacted Suburban Lake, Paris M. Velsaquez 2024 Grand Valley State University

Effects Of Microplastic Biofilms On An Anthropogenically Impacted Suburban Lake, Paris M. Velsaquez

Masters Theses

Plastics have been observed in every location on the planet, and their prevalence in the environment is due in part to their strong resistance to degradation. Inland lakes are susceptible to plastic pollution by highway runoff, which contains plastic fragments of brake pads, car tires, litter, and road paint. These plastics eventually enter freshwater environments and degrade into microplastics (

Antibiotic-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria In A Local Wastewater Treatment Plant In North Georgia, Nou Moua, Lindsay McCuen, Sarah White, Swapna Bhat, Margi Flood, Jeanelle Morgan 2024 University of North Georgia

Antibiotic-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria In A Local Wastewater Treatment Plant In North Georgia, Nou Moua, Lindsay Mccuen, Sarah White, Swapna Bhat, Margi Flood, Jeanelle Morgan

Georgia Journal of Science

Antibiotics are some of the most essential lifesaving drugs currently available to us against infectious diseases. Several pathogens are developing resistance to these drugs and many have become resistant to multiple antibiotics. Such multi-drug resistance is becoming a global issue and has been found in many environments including wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). In this study, we sampled a local WWTP for antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This WWTP is in North Georgia and runs directly into Lake Lanier, which is the main source of drinking water for the Atlanta area as well as a popular spot for water recreation. We obtained treated and …


Multidrug-Resistant Esbl-Producing Escherichia Coli Coexisting With Colistin-Resistance Genes In Pig Farms, Central Thailand, Wipawee Songsaeng, Nutthee Am-in, Nuvee Prapasarakul, Wandee Sirichokchatchawan 2024 Chulalongkorn University, College of Public Health Science

Multidrug-Resistant Esbl-Producing Escherichia Coli Coexisting With Colistin-Resistance Genes In Pig Farms, Central Thailand, Wipawee Songsaeng, Nutthee Am-In, Nuvee Prapasarakul, Wandee Sirichokchatchawan

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The presence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase and colistin resistance E. coli in food-producing animals is a public health concern. This study was conducted using a rigorous methodology to survey the prevalence of ESBL-producing and colistin-resistant E. coli from pig farms in the central part of Thailand. A total of 519 samples were collected from fecal, feed, and waste in 53 farms located in central Thailand. All samples were inoculated onto selective agar, and species identification was performed using biochemical assays and MAlDI-TOF MS. Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by broth microdilution, and ESBL production was confirmed by the combination disc diffusion method. …


Time-Transgressive Microbial Diversity In A Tropical Bat Guano Accumulation, Deer Cave, Mulu, Borneo, Joyce Lundberg, Donald A. McFarlane 2024 Carleton University, Canada

Time-Transgressive Microbial Diversity In A Tropical Bat Guano Accumulation, Deer Cave, Mulu, Borneo, Joyce Lundberg, Donald A. Mcfarlane

International Journal of Speleology

Bat guano accumulations in caves can constitute large deposits of organic material, particularly chitin and its degradation products, that host a diverse microbiome. Previous microbiological studies have not addressed the stratified nature of these deposits in the context of the timeframe of the decomposition process. We present such data (temperature, pH, DNA sampling of eight carbon-dated strata) for a 75 cm-deep tropical guano accumulation that undergoes complete decomposition over a timescale of ~120 years. The aerobic, surface layer of freshly-fallen guano has the greatest diversity of taxa, with Bacteroidota co-dominant with Pseudomonadota, and includes many taxa unique to this …


Observing The Response Of The Caspian Sea Microbiome To Crude Oil Amendment Under Oxic And Hypoxic Conditions, Zabrenna Georgiana Griffiths 2024 University of Tennessee, Knoxville

Observing The Response Of The Caspian Sea Microbiome To Crude Oil Amendment Under Oxic And Hypoxic Conditions, Zabrenna Georgiana Griffiths

Doctoral Dissertations

The Caspian Sea is the world’s largest landlocked saline lake positioned between Europe and Asia and for its historic and large-scale oil reserves. These vast oil reserves have led to the development of an intricate network of pipelines, and drilling operations causing the environmental deterioration of the waterbody. Drainage from surrounding river basins brings an influx of pollutants from residential, industrial and agricultural origins which further compounds this issue. The endorheic nature of this waterbody causes the retention and accumulation of these pollutants, ultimately reducing water quality.

The increased nutrient input has steadily intensified eutrophication in this waterbody resulting in …
