Differing effects of four building materials on viable bacterial communities and VOCs

Mhuireach, Gwynne A.; Dietz, Leslie; Griffiths, Willem; Horve, Patrick Finn; Laguerre, Aurelie; Northcutt, Dale; Vandegrift, Roo; Gall, Elliott; Van Den Wymelenberg, Kevin (Elsevier, 2021)

Indoor environmental quality is a paramount concern among architects. Exposure to VOCs and microorganisms impacts occupant health, yet the role of materials on these exposures remains poorly understood. In this study, we ...
Linking Microbial Community Structure to Ecosystem Function Using Microbiome Association Mapping and Artificial Ecosystem Selection

Morris, Andrew (University of Oregon, 2022-05-10)

Microbiomes mediate a variety of important ecosystem functions. However,it remains unclear what attributes of the microbiome are important for determining the rate of ecosystem functions. Past attempts to elucidate this ...
Microbes, Mothers, and Others: Allocare and Socially-Mediated Gut Microbiome Transmission Across the Colobus vellerosus Lifespan

Christie, Diana (University of Oregon, 2024-03-25)

In this dissertation, I investigate relationships between gut microbiome variation and social interactions in a natural population of black and white colobus monkey (Colobus vellerosus) at Boabeng-Fiema Monkey Sanctuary, ...
On Germs and Germination: Uncovering the Hidden Ecology of Seedborne Bacteria and Fungi in Open-Pollinated Maize

Nebert, Lucas (University of Oregon, 2018-10-31)

Plants are inhabited by diverse species of bacteria and fungi, which affect plant health and fitness. Endophytes are bacteria or fungi that live within plant host tissues without causing symptoms of disease, and mediate ...
Population Genetic Divergence and Environment Influence the Gut Microbiome in Oregon Threespine Stickleback

Steury, Robert (University of Oregon, 2019-04-30)

Studying the microbiome in natural populations could improve our understanding of the biological factors that influence microbiome variation. If host genetic variation is important in microbiota assembly, then understanding ...
Relationships Among Airborne Microbial Communities, Urban Land Uses and Vegetation Cover: Implications for Urban Planning and Human Health

Mhuireach, Gwynne A. (University of Oregon, 2018-09-06)

Variation in exposure to environmental microbial communities has been implicated in the etiology of allergies, asthma and other chronic and immune disorders. In particular, preliminary research suggests that exposure to a ...
Temporary establishment of bacteria from indoor plant leaves and soil on human skin

Mhuireach, Gwynne A.; Fahimipour, Ashkaan K.; Vandegrift, Roo; Muscarella, Mario E.; Hickey, Roxana; Bateman, Ashley C.; Van Den Wymelenberg, Kevin G.; Bohannan, Brendan J. M. (BMC, 2022-12-22)

Background: Plants are found in a large percentage of indoor environments, yet the potential for bacteria associated with indoor plant leaves and soil to colonize human skin remains unclear. We report results of experiments ...
