Importance of aquatic invertebrates as fish food in selected areas of the upper Mississippi River
(1974-05)Food habits of bluegills (Lepomis macrochirus Rafinesque) largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides Lacepede), and spotted suckers (Minytrema melanops Rafinesque) were investigated to determine their dependence on the zooplankton ... -
Improving habitat: periphyton and macroinvertebrate colonization on large wood in Pool 8 of the Upper Mississippi River
(2020-12)Large wood is an important restoration tool in aquatic ecosystems as it has a variety of geomorphological and ecological benefits. We have limited knowledge regarding the role of large wood in large rivers as most research ... -
In vitro analysis of OmpR regulation of the fimB and fimE genes of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli
(2010-12-01)Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) cause more than 90% of all human urinary tract infections (UTIs). Type 1 pili on the surface of UPEC allow the cells to adhere to and invade bladder epithelial cells. The fimB and fimE ... -
