Model-Based Spectral Library for Bacterial Identification
BackgroundIt is essential to develop more efficient diagnostic methods to mitigate the spread infectious diseases. Current methods of bacterial identification use matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) which is protein based mass spectra that cannot differentiate closely related bacterial species....

Application to Control Shiga-toxin producing E. Coli O 157:H7, O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, and O145.
BackgroundBacterial resistance has developed towards antibiotics and chemical sanitizers due to their mass applications in food. Research is beginning to show that bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella have both become resistant to lactic and peroxyacetic acid solutions, commonly used antimicrobial intervention in meat harvesting and processing plants....

Administration of Nootropic Agents for Enhancing Neuroprotective Signaling in Parkinson’s Disease
BackgroundParkinson’s Disease (PD) is a chronic, neurodegenerative disease, caused by the progressive loss of midbrain dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra, which sends axons to the striatum. Approximately 1% of Americans are afflicted with PD, which give rise to more than $14 billion in medical-related costs each year. Symptoms include irreversible...

Use of in vivo Microbial Antigen Detection (InMAD) with human biological fluids for detection of circulating antigens
BackgroundDiagnosis of an infection in a timely manner is essential for proper therapeutic administration and more effective treatments, especially for diseases with non-specific early symptoms. Acute infections are typically diagnosed by identifying microbial antigens directly from patient samples. However, microbes do not replicate to high levels...

Engineered Tissue Succulence in Plants
Background: This is a novel technology to increase tissue succulence in plants using genetic engineering. Tissue succulence is an important plant trait that improves the drought attenuation of plants, improves salinity tolerance, and optimizes the performance of crassulacean acid metabolism. In an age with pressing need to increase food production and...

Engineering Crassulacean Acid Metabolism to Improve Water-Use Efficiency
Background:This is a novel method for genetic engineering of Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) in plants. CAM isa specialized form of photosynthesis that reduces relative crop water demand five-to-six fold compared with non-CAMplant species. This adaptation saves water by shifting atmospheric CO2 uptake from the day, when the plant loses a highamount...
