Changes in Gill Physiology and Energy Requirements of Darter Species (Etheostoma spp.) due to Effluent in the Grand River
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-18)The effluent from municipal wastewater treatment plants is a major point source of contamination in Canadian waterways. Improvement of effluent quality to reduce contaminants like pharmaceuticals and personal care products, ... -
The Effect of Unbalanced Dietary Methionine fed to Pregnant Rats on Maternal and Fetal One-Carbon Metabolism
(University of Waterloo, 2012-04-02)Protein restriction during rodent pregnancy is a well-established model of developmental programming. Although the Southampton low-protein diet model of developmental programming has been accepted to produce hypertensive ... -
Growth and regulatory metabolism of cellulose-utilizing thermophilic Caldicellulosiruptor species
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-19)Hydrogen biofuels have been proposed as an environmentally-friendly and renewable energy substitute for petroleum-based fossil fuels. One species of bacteria capable of degrading cellulosic materials and producing vast ... -
Impact of the antidepressant venlafaxine on the hypothalamus-pituitary-interrenal axis function in rainbow trout
(University of Waterloo, 2014-05-27)Over the recent years, venlafaxine has become the predominant antidepressant drug detected in municipal wastewater effluents (MWWE) and aquatic systems. However, very little is known about the effect of this drug in the ... -
Impacts of wastewater treatment plant effluent on energetics and stress response of rainbow darter (Etheostoma caeruleum) in the Grand River watershed
(Elsevier, 2018-10)The objective of this study was to assess the effects of municipal wastewater treatment plant effluent on the energetics and stress response of rainbow darter (Etheostoma caeruleum). Male and female rainbow darter were ... -
Micromeda: a genome property prediction pipeline and web visualization tool
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-07)Understanding the distribution of biochemical pathways across microorganisms is critical to understanding these organism's evolution, ecology, and industrial applicability. Advances in genome sequencing and pathway databases ... -
Multi-stressor impacts on fish energetics and stress response: a comparison between lab and field studies
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-24)Aquatic organisms are continuously exposed to multiple environmental stressors that work cumulatively and synergistically to alter ecosystems. The objective of this study was to investigate the impacts of multiple stressors ... -
Multiple Stressors in the Environment: The Effects of Exposure to an Antidepressant (Venlafaxine) and Increased Temperature on Zebrafish Metabolism
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2019-11-19)Aquatic organisms are continuously exposed to multiple environmental stressors working cumulatively to alter ecosystems. Wastewater-dominated environments are often riddled by a myriad of stressors, such as chemical and ...
