Effects of environmental factors on wood decay micromorphology of Pinus radiata and Fagus sylvatica, and its significance for in-ground wood preservative performance
(The University of Waikato, 2003)Wood preservatives are essential to the continued use of wood in situations where fungal decay and damage from wood boring insects such as termites, would otherwise occur. Significant risks to health and the environment ... -
Enumeration and discrimination of thermophilic bacilli in milk powder
(The University of Waikato, 2005)A survey of milk powders from eighteen different countries has established that the same cohorts of strains of thermophilic bacilli are the major contaminants regardless of source. In particular, Anoxybacillus flavithermus ... -
A microbial community description of a heavy metal contaminated soil site
(University of Waikato, 2012)Tui mine area, with extremely low pH (2.9-3.3) values and high-metal concentrations, is one of the most contaminated sites in NZ. The structure of the microbial community in different soil layers (Top, Middle and Bottom) ... -
The Microflora of the Huhu Grub
(University of Waikato, 2011)New Zealand's endemic longhorned beetle larvae, the Huhu grub (Prionoplus reticularis) feeds on dead coniferous wood. No studies have been conducted on its gut microflora. Given that the Huhu grub feeds solely on ... -
Nitrogen fixation and bulk organic removal in a bleached krall pulp and paper mill treatment system
(The University of Waikato, 1998)A study was undertaken to assess some effects of nitrogen fixation and bulk organic substrate removal in a New Zealand bleached kraft pulp and paper mill wastewater treatment system. A novel wastewater biological treatment ... -
A Reinvestigation of Salvarsan and Related Arsenic Chemistry.
(University of Waikato, 2011)In 1910 the first deliberately targeted search for a new chemotherapeutic agent came to fruition when Paul Ehrlich introduced Salvarsan for the treatment of syphilis. This thesis presents a detailed review of the history ... -
Survival and recovery of Escherichia coli O157:H7 during starvation at sub-optimal temperatures
(University of Waikato, 2014)Escherichia coli O157:H7 is an important foodborne pathogen with a dual lifestyle of growth within a host and persistence in non-host environments. Environmental survival of E. coli O157:H7 is particularly important in New ... -
The microbial ecology and colonisation of surfaces in selected hot springs - a molecular-and culture-based approach
(The University of Waikato, 2005)Traditionally, culture-based approaches have been used to investigate the microbial ecology of thermal habitats. The emergence of alternate molecular approaches based on DNA sequences has shown that terrestrial thermal ... -
The physiological characterisation of a novel Thermomicrobia strain WKT50.2, and a review of the characteristics of the class Thermomicrobia
(University of Waikato, 2013)Thermomicrobia is a class of heterotrophic, obligate aerobes within the phylum Chloroflexi. At the time of writing, it contained four distinct species, Thermomicrobium roseum, Sphaerobacter thermophilus, Nitrolancetus ...
