Microscopic Fluoresence Imaging of Cellulose Degradation in Microfluidic Devices

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Jay Grate
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
The goals of this project are to (1) test combinations of fluorescent tag, cellulose form, dye-cellulose conjugation method, and microscopy modalities to demonstrate, for the first time, the ability…

ESEM analysis of a bacterial biofilm on plastic

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Steve Bradley
Project type
Exploratory Research
The authors would like to use an ESEM instrument to search for evidence of biofilm formation on the walls of a plastic column used in microbial transport studies. We hope to analyze a section of the…

Biofilm Studies using Multi-modal Molecular Imaging Agents

Lead Institution
Texas Technical University
Principal Investigator
Darryl Bornhop
Project type
Capability Research
The Bornhop research group has developed a new class of multi-modal contrast agent. These unique molecular imaging agents exhibit bright luminescence, give magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast,…

EM analysis of bacterial co-cultures

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Fred Brockman
Project type
Exploratory Research
A co-culture of a sulfur-reducing bacteria sp. Desulfovibrio and methanogenic bacteria sp. Methanosarcina could show synthropic existence of these species. A morphological study on electron…
