Sea Grant RESEARCH NOTES

Co-oxidation is a little understood means of microbial degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons. In co-oxidation, microbes growing on one compound, the growth substrate, are able to oxidize a second · compound, the cosubstrate. This project examines the role of co-oxidation in the degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAR's), one of the most recalcitrant petroleum compounds now found in...

Oregon Sea Grant Report

In Spain, gooseneck barnacles, “percebes,” are an overfished delicacy fetching a high market price ($50/lb). Oregon fishing communities show interest in developing a percebes market utilizing Pollicipes polymerus. We aim to inform resource managers to avoid over harvesting Oregon goosenecks. In summer 2016, we investigated the current status of P. polymerus populations with three primary object...

Final Report for Grant

INTRODUCTION Low-level radioactive waste is the primary component of the toxic waste stream generated from biomedical research and patient care activities. Historically, this radioactive waste has been shipped to Richland, Washington for landfill disposal. Several years ago, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission "deregulated" liquid scintillation vials containing tritium and carbon 14. More recentl...

Final Report for DOE Grant

The Clostridia are a diverse group of gram-positive, rod-shaped anaerobes that include several toxin-producing pathogens (notably C. difSiciZe, C. botulinum, C. tetuni, and C. perfringens) and a large number of terrestrial species that produce acetone, butanol, ethanol, isopropanol, and organic acids through fermentation of a variety of carbon ~ o u r c e s ~ ~ . Isolates of C. ucetobutylicum w...
