Article studying the effect of MS222 on hemostasis in Zebrafish. The authors performed various assays and find that Hct values, the amount of blood collected, bleeding, and coagulation differ significantly between anesthetized and nonanesthetized fish. These results suggest that blood collected after MS222 anesthesia of zebrafish has altered hemostasis.

This article describes the design of a GIS and remote sensing based analysis tool called the Water Quality Corridor Management model to identify and prioritize highly functioning riparian ecosystems for the preservation of steam corridor conditions.

Data management plan for the grant "Formation of cotton bast fiber as a means to modulate carbon capture and increase bio-product utilization."

This article characterizes two noncatalytic chalcone isomerase (CHI)-like proteins using engineered yeast harboring all genes required for demethylxanthohumol (DMX) production.

Article on evidence that mono-ADP-ribosylation of CtBP1/BARS regulates lipid storage.

This article evaluates HCT down-regulated alfalfa plants for their forage composition and agronomic performance in the greenhouse and under field conditions.

Article on an intimate collaboration between peroxisomes and lipid bodies.

Article examining effects of Low relative humidity (25–35%), and High relative humidity (85–93%) on hatchability, embryonic growth, hematology and blood gases and pH in chicken embryos.

The purpose of this project is to produce a complete and thorough notebook that may be used to supplement laboratory coursework. Its intent is to be used primarily by the students to aid them in understanding background information and the proper laboratory procedures involved in various types of experiments. The laboratory notebook is a summation of all the experiments and procedures used in the six-credit hour Advanced Microbial and Molecular Biology (BIOL 5160) course offered during the summer semester at the University of North Texas. This class is a team taught effort by Professors O'Donovan and Kunz. The course is constructed as an intensive practice exercise to teach the student about gene mutations, biosynthetic pathways, preparation and analysis of plasmid DNA, and many other topics included in the notebook.

This article posits that the frequently abrupt environmental changes accompanying much longer-term general climate change require consideration of the true nature of environmental change coupled with an expansion of focus to consider developmental phenotypic plasticity.

This essay poses an argument for epigenetics having a potentially profound role in our understanding of inheritance, natural selection and evolution, and deserving more attention.

This presentation contains an analysis of ~600 solicitation emails related to 317 scholarly journals received within a one-year period to assess the quality of publishing venues available.

This article predicts that marine-derived bacteria should inhibit Vibrio pathogens and may be a source of unique antibiotic compounds.

This article is the first to present data on the migratory movements of the “large-billed” subspecies, F. a. naumanni, that breeds in the high Arctic and which has significantly larger body size than those farther south.

Article presents research on oxalate catabolism in plants.

Article examining the mechanism of Glutathione synthetase, an enzyme that belongs to the glutathione synthetase ATP-binding domain-like superfamily. A variety of structural alignment methods were applied and four highly conserved residues of human glutathione synthetase (Glu-144, Asn-146, Lys-305, and Lys-364) were identified in the binding site. The function of these was studied by experimental and computational site-directed mutagenesis.

Article on the effects of growth substances on non-induced and Botrytis cinerea culture filtrate-induced phaseollin production in Phaseolus vulgaris cell suspension cultures.

This article shows that both Cys-EC and 4β-(S-cysteinyl)-catechin (Cys-C) are present in grapevine. The data from this study advance knowledge of PA building blocks and LAR function and provide targets for grapevine breeding to alter PA composition.

Article discussing the microbial communities in male first catch urine and how these are highly similar to those paired in urethral swab specimens.

Article discussing Tracembler, a software for in-silico chromosome walking in unassembled genomes.

This article describes the testing of a phenylalanine lyase gene from Anabaena variabilis (AvPAL) codon-optimized and cloned into a shuttle vector for expression in Lactobacillus reuteri 100-23C (pHENOMMenal).

Article comparing the microbial communities of three isolates from different species of the genus Symbiodinium (formerly known as Symbiodinium clade A) with different ecophysiology, levels of interaction with the animal host, and thermal adaptations. Results suggest that bacteria associated or co-cultured with thermotolerant Symbiodinium might play an important role in thermotolerance.

Opinion article covering grand challenges to aquatic physiology based on the five "grand challenges in organismal biology" proposed by Schwenk et al. (2007). This article also provides a list of specific examples of emerging areas of research interest in aquatic physiology.

Article analyzing the lipids in transgenic zebrafish. Separating RFP+ and GFP+ thrombocytes from the GloFli fish developed here led to the analysis of their lipid composition.DiI-labeled liposomes with similar PE and PC concentrations found in RFP+ thrombocytes explained DiI labeling of thrombocytes.
