Bacterial biogeography of the rare Charitable Research Reserve
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-30)Soil microbial communities play a dominant role in global biogeochemical cycles, with profound effects on agriculture, ecosystem stability, human health, and global climate. As a result, assessing their biogeographic ... -
Bacterial Chromosome Engineering for Applications in Metabolic Engineering
(University of Waterloo, 2015-10-02)As genetic engineering technologies continue to advance and metabolic engineering projects become more ambitious, the need for chromosome engineering tools is increased. In this thesis, I have described the development of ... -
Bacterial Communities in the Glenmore Reservoir with an emphasis on the Cyanobacteria
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-30)Lakes and reservoirs play an essential role as a source for freshwater that can be potable after proper treatment, or for irrigation to meet the water needs of the population, industry, and agriculture. However, freshwaters ... -
Bacterial diversity and denitrifier communities in arable soils
(University of Waterloo, 2014-05-21)Agricultural management is essential for achieving optimum crop production and maintaining soil quality. Soil microorganisms are responsible for nutrient cycling and are an important consideration for effective soil ... -
Bacteriophage interactions with mammalian tissue: Therapeutic applications
(Elsevier, 2019-05)The human body is a large reservoir for bacterial viruses known as bacteriophages (phages), which participate in dynamic interactions with their bacterial and human hosts that ultimately affect human health. The current ... -
Bacteriophage M13 as a Template for Multi-Enzyme Assembly
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-25)An important aspect of bionanotechnology is the utilization of biomolecules to prepare controlled and defined arrangements of multiple components with nanoscale order. Bacteriophage M13 is a filamentous phage composed of ... -
A “BAD APPLE” OR A “SPOILED BARREL”?: OBSERVING OVERT RACISM PREDICTS DIVERGING PERCEPTIONS OF RACISM AND RACE RELATIONS IN AMERICA
(University of Waterloo, 2019-06-03)Blacks and Whites draw different interpretations of the blatant racism that they witness, even when their reactions appear to be identical. Across three studies, we hypothesized that Blacks would endorse the idea that ... -
Badges: Abzeichen als sprechende Objekte
