Environmental reservoirs and mechanisms of persistence of Vibrio cholerae

Lutz, Carla; Erken, Martina; Noorian, Parisa; Sun, Shuyang; McDougald, Diane (2013)

It is now well accepted that Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of the water-borne disease cholera, is acquired from environmental sources where it persists between outbreaks of the disease. Recent advances in molecular ...
Gravity-driven membrane filtration as pretreatment for seawater reverse osmosis : linking biofouling layer morphology with flux stabilization

Akhondi, Ebrahim; Wu, Bing; Sun, Shuyang; Marxer, Brigit; Lim, Weikang; Gu, Jun; Liu, Linbo; Burkhardt, Michael; McDougald, Diane; Pronk, Wouter; Fane, Anthony G. (2015)

In this study gravity-driven membrane (GDM) ultrafiltration is investigated for the pretreatment of seawater before reverse osmosis (RO). The impacts of temperature (21 ± 1 and 29 ± 1 °C) and hydrostatic pressure (40 and ...
Relative contributions of vibrio polysaccharide and quorum sensing to the resistance of vibrio cholerae to predation by heterotrophic protists

Sun, Shuyang; Kjelleberg, Staffan; McDougald, Diane (2013)

Protozoan grazing is a major mortality factor faced by bacteria in the environment. Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of the disease cholera, is a natural inhabitant of aquatic ecosystems, and its survival depends on ...
