Oxidation Of Molybdenite With The Aid Of Microorganisms, Ralph Anderson

Theses and Dissertations

This work represents a study on the biological oxidation of molybdenite, MoS2. The principal objective of this study was to investigate the possibility of the biological oxidation of molybdenite, to determine the physical and chemical conditions under which the oxidative process occurs, and to develop a strain of bacteria or alter the activity of the microorganisms by acclimatization to increase their activity on sulfide minerals, in particular molybdenite. Minerals used in this study were pyrite (FeS2), chalcopyrite (CuFeS2), molybdenite concentrate, and molybdenite ore. The microorganisms used in this investigation were autotrophic bacteria obtained from the leaching streams of Bingham Canyon, …

A Preliminary Investigation Of The Taxonomy And The Geographical Distribution Of The Chrysopidae (Neuroptera) Of Utah, Wayne A. Melander

Theses and Dissertations

The writer undertook a preliminary investigation of the taxonomy and geographic distribution of a group of neuropterous insects, the Chrysopidae, in Utah. The main purposes of the investigation were to find what species and forms of these beneficial insects occur in Utah, to provide means for their identification, and to report upon their geographical distribution. Two main methods of investigation were employed. The first, a bibliographic method, was to carefully review the literature concerning the Chrysopidae of the United States for all references pertaining to their distribution and their taxonomy. The second method of investigation was to study insect specimens …

The Coexistence Of Pathogens And Pseudomonads In Soluble Oil Emulsions, R. Samuel-Maharajah, Hilliard Pivnik, W.E. Engelhard, Sheila Templeton

Papers in Microbiology

This investigation is concerned primarily with the growth and virulence of pathogenic bacteria introduced into soluble oil emulsions. The soluble oils are petroleum or fatty oils emulsified with soaps of petroleum sulfonic acids, naphthenic acids, fatty acids, rosin, or tall oil. When mixed with water, the soluble oils form stable oil-in-water emulsions and, as such, are used in machine shops as coolants and lubricants in the cutting and grinding of metals. Unfortunately, they serve as excellent substrates for the growth of bacteria.

On The Kinetics Of Moisture Flow In Unsaturated Soils, James Wellington Biggar

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The flow of fluids in porous media continues to be a widely studied phenomenon. Soil moisture relationships and particularly the flow of water in soil is perhaps the most widely investigated of the four edaphatic factors related to plant growth, namely moisture, aeration, temperature and compaction.

Red Raspberry Root Rot In Northern Utah, Robert L. Powelson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

During the last few years, red raspberry growers in Utah have been finding that plantings gradually lose vigor and are not profitable. In the largest raspberry growing area in Utah, Utah County, figures taken from the U.S. census from 1930 to 1950, show a decrease in acres of raspberries grown from 401 in 1930 to 190 in 1950 (2). In many instances this deterioration of raspberry plantings in Utah has not been definitely associated with known plant pathogenic fungi or virus infections. Neither can the expansion of suburbs account for this decrease. In certain cases it has been obvious that …

Observations On The Morphology, Physiology, And Life History Of Allescheria Boydii Shear, Robert Denton Flory

Master's Theses

Of those organisms upon the face of the earth displaying a wide range of variability, excellent examples may be found amoung certain groups of the fungi. This extreme variation as noted in certain fungal groups becomes even more interesting when the phenomenon of sexuality is eliminated or of rare occur­rence as in many of the Fungi Imperfecti. Such extreme varia­tions occur in Allescheria Boydii, whose historical background is as interesting as the growth of the fungus itself.

In 1909 Tarozzi (46)isolated a fungus organism as the causative agent in a Sardinian case of mycetoma. Tarozzi referred this fungus to Saccardo, …

Some Effects Of Inorganic Fluoride On Plants, Animals, And Man, Delbert A. Greenwood

Faculty Honor Lectures

~~~ in the compounds of fluorine may be traced to one or more of the following factors: ( 1) the consumption of a drinking water containing one part per million of fluorine as a soluble flouride during the period of calcification and eruption of the teeth causes a reduction in the incidence of tooth decay; however, an intake of drinking water containing more than two parts per million of fluorine causes dental fluorosis of varying degrees in man and certain animals; (2) a continuous intake of excessive amounts of fluorine as mineral supplement, in contaminated forage, or the grazing of …

False Smut Of Buffalograss, John L. Weihing

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

False smut of buffalograss, Buchloe dactyloides (Nutt.) Engelm., caused by Cercospora seminalis Ell. & Ev. is a disease that destroys the unfertilized ovary. The disease was first reported by J. B. Ellis and B. M. Everhart in 1888. They gave only a brief description of the disease and named the causal fungus Cercospora seminalis. There are no etiological studies of false smut recorded in the literature. The origin of the term "false smut" is unknown to the author, but it so descriptively fits the general appearances of the disease that one readily understands its usage. The following studies were …

Streak Mosaic Of Wheat In Nebraska And Its Control, R. Staples, W. B. Allington

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

This bulletin reports the results of studies on the epidemiology of wheat streak mosaic under Nebraska conditions. Particular attention is given to the occurrence and certain characteristics of the mite vector of the virus, the relation of weather and other factors to some of its activities, a correlation of certain mite situations with epidemics of the disease, and recommendations for disease control.

Some Observations On Oral Protozoa Of Man, Howard Edwin Runion

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

This investigation is based upon the occurrence of oral protozoans among 25 periodontalclasial patients in Stockton, California. It is concerned, in part, with the correlation of infections with age, sex and oral health of the host and, in part, with culture techniques. The specific cultivation of Trichomonas tenax was explored in an effort to employ an improved experimental medium.

Trichomonas tenax and Endamoeba gingivalis are the only protozoans known to occur commonly in the human mouth. Distribution is cosmopolitan and there are no known endemic areas. Incidence of these two protozoans, among periodontalclasial patients, has not been reported since the …

The Effects Of Antibiotics Aureomycin And Terramycin On The Disease Crown Gall In Tomato Plants, Charles Raymond Anderson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The disease crown gall manifests itself on various woody or herbaceous plants by the formation of tumor-like enlargements at the crown or on other parts or by extensive production of organs (roots, shoots). In both cases the abnormal development is an uncontrolled hyperplast, resulting in tumors or galls of varying sizes and form or in the production of organs, frequently out of normal position and in excessive numbers. Because of the frequent location of the galls on the stem or trunk near or at the ground level, the disease has been known as crown gall. Various other names such as …

Handbook Of Bacteriology For High School Teachers, David Loring Fagle

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The study of bacteriology is frequently not included in the high school science curriculum and often, when it is taught, it is dealt with in only a superficial manner. There are various reasons for this. Very often high school science instructors lack training in courses relating to bacteriology and consequently, feel inadequate to handle the topic with their students. Another factor rests with the fact that bacteria are difficult to study without the aid or microscopes with high power objectives. Many high schools lack this equipment. A third factor is that some parents may feel that it may be dangerous …

The Minimal Nutritional Requirements Of Several Strains Of Shigella Dysenteriae 1, Roy M. Johnson

Biology ETDs

The study of bacterial nutrition is fundamental to an understanding of the physiological aspects of microorganisms. The advances made in biochemical research during the past few decades have permitted the employment of synthetic media for a large number of microorganisms previously able to grow only on complex, ill-defined media. In turn, microorganisma have become a valuable tool of the biochemist for the assay of vitamins and growth factors. These combined efforts of the biochemist and the microbiologist have advanced the entire field of physiology applicable to all organisms.

Pustule Formation By Lactobacilli On Fermented Vegetables, T.L. Thompson, W.E. Engelhard, Hilliard Pivnik

Papers in Microbiology

Genuine dill pickles are the product resulting from the fermentation, predominantly lactic, of cucumbers immersed in a brine containing 3 to 4 per cent salt. The brine also contains dill weed and may contain spices and garlic or extracts of their essential oils. Genuine dill tomatoes are manufactured from green tomatoes by a fermentation similar to that used for pickles (Fabian and Wadsworth, 1944).
Lactobacillus plantarum is commonly associated with the fermentation of pickles (Pederson, 1936), although other lactobacilli and some yeasts undoubtedly play a role. A survery of the literature failed to uncover any reports concerning the microbial flora …

The Biology And Seasonal Distribution Of Eucalliphora Lilaea (Walker) In Cache County, Utah, Robert P. Olson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The association of: flies with man has been recorded through many centuries. In nearly all of these records the association is one of discord rather than harmony. In the Book of Exodus, 8:24, in the King James version of the Old Testament, we can read, "...and there came grievous swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses; and in all the land of Egypt the land was corrupted by reason of the swarms of flies." Centuries later the "grievous swarms of flies" 'were associated with a particular disease by Mercurialis. In 1577 he expressed the …

An Economic Evaluation Of Selected Treatments For Avian Botulism In Waterfowl On Utah Marshes, 1953-54, Donald A. Smith

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Each year thousands of western waterfowl succumb to disease, predators, mechanical injury and other decimating factors . Based on a review of records it is conservatively estimated that an average of 25,000 ducks have succumbed to botulism on western marsh areas annually.

In a recent study, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service valued each duck and goose at $8.00 (McLeod, 1950). Applying this value to the estimated annual numerical loss, a total of $200,000 has been lost each season in mortality of western waterfowl from botulism. Control of this malady would reduce annual waterfowl and monetary losses.

Prevention and …
