- 21 August 2009
ABSTRACT Extended multilocus sequence typing (MLST) analysis of atypical Escherichia isolates was used to identify five novel phylogenetic clades (CI to CV) among isolates from environmental, human,… Expand
Fecal collection, ambient preservation, and DNA extraction for PCR amplification of bacterial and human markers from human feces.
- Jordan M Nechvatal, J. Ram, +6 authors I. Kato
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of microbiological methods
- 1 February 2008
Feces contain intestinal bacteria and exfoliated epithelial cells that may provide useful information concerning gastrointestinal tract health. Intestinal bacteria that synthesize or metabolize… Expand
Enumeration of waterborne Escherichia coli with petrifilm plates: comparison to standard methods.
- J. Vail, R. Morgan, C. R. Merino, F. Gonzales, R. Miller, J. Ram
- Biology, Chemistry
- Journal of environmental quality
- 2003
Escherichia coli is often monitored in environmental waters as an indicator of the possible presence of human pathogens associated with feces. Petrifilm E. coli/coliform count plates (3M,… Expand
Spawning in the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha): activation by internal or external application of serotonin.
- J. Ram, G. Crawford, +4 authors K. Kyozuka
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of experimental zoology
- 1 April 1993
The zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha, was recently introduced accidentally into the Great Lakes and, due in part to its prodigious reproductive capacity, is spreading rapidly in temperate fresh… Expand
Physiological Aspects of Zebra Mussel Reproduction: Maturation, Spawning, and Fertilization
- J. Ram, P. P. Fong, D. Garton
- Biology
- 1 June 1996
SYNOPSIS. The prolific reproductive capabilities of the zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha , have facilitated the rapid spread and high densities of this biofouling organism since its accidental… Expand
Insulin attenuates vasopressin-induced calcium transients and a voltage-dependent calcium response in rat vascular smooth muscle cells.
- P. Standley, F. Zhang, J. Ram, M. Zemel, J. Sowers
- Chemistry, Medicine
- The Journal of clinical investigation
- 1 October 1991
Insulin attenuates the contractile responses of vascular smooth muscle (VSM) to various agonists. Insulinopenic and insulin-resistant rats lack this normal attenuation of vascular contractile… Expand
Inhibition of Rho protein stimulates iNOS expression in rat vascular smooth muscle cells.
- R. Muniyappa, R. Xu, J. Ram, J. Sowers
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of physiology. Heart and…
- 1 June 2000
Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is upregulated in arterial injury and plays a role in regulating VSMC proliferation and restenosis. Inflammatory… Expand
Authentication of Canned Tuna and Bonito by Sequence and Restriction Site Analysis of Polymerase Chain Reaction Products of Mitochondrial DNA
- J. Ram, M. L. Ram, F. Baidoun
- Biology
- 15 August 1996
Methods of authenticating already canned fish were developed, using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by sequencing and restriction site analysis. The canning process degrades DNA to fewer… Expand
Using zebra mussels to monitor Escherichia coli in environmental waters.
- J. Selegean, R. Kusserow, R. Patel, T. Heidtke, J. Ram
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of environmental quality
- 2001
Use of the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) as an indicator of previously elevated bacteria concentrations in a watershed was examined. The ability of the zebra mussel to accumulate and purge… Expand
