Neil R. Baker baker.2@osu.edu Associate Professor, Ph.D., University of Maryland, 1975. Pathogenicity of gram-negative pathogens. My research is primarily concerned with secondary pathogens of the respiratory tract. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, has been of particular concern because of the high mortality rates associated with hospital-acquired infections and the high incidence in cystic
Mark Morrison morrison.234@osu.edu Associate Professor Ph.D., University of Illionois, 1991 Microbial genomics, emphasizing the molecular biology of polysaccharide degradation and bacterial adhesion to plant surfaces. An obligatory step in cellulose degradation by anaerobic bacteria is the adhesion of the bacterium to the polysaccharide. In many anaerobic bacteria the adhesion protein,

We are interested in RNA processing events that are unique to trypanosomes and could be
F. Robert Tabita Professor; Ohio Eminent Scholar of Microbiology Professor, Natural Resources Professor, Plant Biology Director, Plant-Microbe Genomics Facility Director, Plant Molecular Biology/Biotechnology Program Ph.D., Syracuse University, 1971. Biochemistry, molecular biology, molecular ecology, archaea. My laboratory is concerned with the molecular regulation, biochemistry,and enzymology of carbon dioxide assimilation.
Study of bacterial gene expression heavily relies on E. coli-based in vivo and in vitro systems with RNA polymerase at their core. Although methods utilizing RNA polymerase assembled from individually expressed subunits or single-subunit expression vectors have met with considerable success, our experience indicates that co-overexpression vectors, featuring most or
Jessica Dyszel I received my Bachelors degree in microbiology from Southern Illinois University. As an undergraduate I worked in an independent food-testing laboratory assisting in research projects and performing routine testing. Working as a laboratory technician furthered my interest in microbiology and prompted me to attend graduate school. When searching
Olli H. Tuovinen tuovinen.1@osu.edu Professor Ph.D., University of London, 1973 Environmental and Industrial Microbiology. Several projects are underway in my laboratory that combine microbial metabolism and ecology with environmental disciplines. Examples of current studies include (1) the biodegradation of pesticides and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, (2) microbial ecology and biogeochemistry of
Kurt Fredrick fredrick.5@osu.edu Assistant Professor B.A. Biology, Gustavus Adolphus College, 1992 Ph.D. Microbiology, Cornell University, 1997 Postdoctoral research, University of California Santa Cruz, 1997-2003 We are interested in how the ribosome works. The ribosome is a large (~2.5 MDa), two-subunit, RNA-based machine that translates the genetic code in
