BACTERIA AS BIOINDICATORS IN WETLANDS: BIOASSESSMENT IN THE BONNEVILLE BASIN OF UTAH, USA (2004)

Mark Merkley, Russell B. Rader, J Vaun McArthur, Dennis Eggett

Bacteria should be excellent indicators of the early signs of degradation caused by human intervention because they have the highest surface area to volume ratio of all organisms. We determined the...

Phenotypic plasticity of larval retreat design in a net-spinning caddisfly (2003)

Plague, Gordon R., McArthur, J Vaun

Larval Macrostemum carolina caddisflies construct silken catchnets within protective retreats, often on submerged trees and branches (i.e., snags). In the Savannah River, M. carolina larvae construct...

Methanotroph Diversity in Landfill Soil: Isolation of Novel Type I and Type II Methanotrophs Whose Presence Was Suggested by Culture-Independent 16S Ribosomal DNA Analysis

Wise, Mark G., McArthur, J Vaun, Shimkets, Lawrence J.

The diversity of the methanotrophic community in mildly acidic landfill cover soil was assessed by three methods: two culture-independent molecular approaches and a traditional culture-based...

Spatial Patterns in Antibiotic Resistance among Stream Bacteria: Effects of Industrial Pollution

McArthur, J Vaun, Tuckfield, R. Cary

The spatial distribution of antibiotic resistance to streptomycin and kanamycin was examined in natural bacterial communities of two streams. The proportion of resistant bacteria was substantially...

Response of Bacteria Isolated from a Pristine Prairie Stream to Concentration and Source of Soluble Organic Carbon

McArthur, J. Vaun, Marzolf, G. Richard, Urban, James E.

Responses of native aquatic bacteria to source and concentration of dissolved organic carbon was observed by using gradient plates. Dissolved organic carbon of prairie (grasses) or gallery forest...

Genetic diversity in natural populations of a soil bacterium across a landscape gradient

McArthur, J. Vaun, Kovacic, David A., Smith, Michael H.

Genetic diversity in natural populations of the bacterium Pseudomonas cepacia was surveyed in 10 enzymes from 70 clones isolated along a landscape gradient. Estimates of genetic diversity, ranging...

Novel Tetracycline Resistance Determinant Isolated from an Environmental Strain of Serratia marcescensâ–ż

Thompson, Stuart A., Maani, Elizabeth V., Lindell, Angela H., King, Catherine J., McArthur, J. Vaun

Resistances to tetracycline and mercury were identified in an environmental strain of Serratia marcescens isolated from a stream highly contaminated with heavy metals. As a step toward addressing the...
