Determining the genetic diversity of a collection of field isolates and the mechanisms by which S. uberis colonises the host were the general aims of this project, in particular the determination of the basis for bacterial persistence despite antibacterial therapy. Multi-locus sequence typing identified high levels of recombination within the population, but also a single dominant clonal complex which comprised nearly all sequence types which were isolated from more than one animal. The dominant clonal complex also comprised isolates, derived, however, from both persistent and non-persistent infections, but RAPD typing demonstrated that these isolates can differ in genetic composition elsewhere in the genome. Whole genome sequencing of additional S. uberis isolates confirmed that despite significant homology between much of these genomes, novel genetic material was commonly obtained by phage insertion and horizontal gene transfer. Isolates with identical housekeeping sequences are thus highly likely to differ in their virulence gene repertoires. In this study, the potential for differentiating S. uberis isolates based instead upon protein profiles derived from mass spectrometry of disrupted whole cells was therefore also explored. Differentiation between small numbers of isolates was achieved after optimisation of this protocol, however, discriminatory ability and reproducibility were somewhat compromised when the technique was scaled up to analyse 50 Italian isolates. During the period of study, profile differences between persistent and non-persistent isolates could not be explored. Basic methods were thus also utilised in an attempt to identify factors which promoted bacterial survival in vitro; and a defined medium, representative of the udder environment, was optimised for this purpose. The use of this medium permitted the demonstration that S. uberis was reliant upon magnesium and manganese for proliferation and that, interestingly, the absence of iron did not inhibit bacterial growth. It was also shown that S. uberis had the ability to directly utilise casein, identifying a potential alternative pathway for the acquisition of essential nutrients from nutritionally-limited environments. It was also observed that to a limited extent S. uberis seemed to produce a siderophore. Although this remains to be confirmed, it may correlate with the observation that iron, although not essential for proliferation, improved the growth rate of the bacterium. It was also notable that most novel genes, identified from S. uberis genome sequences, exhibited functions for nutrient metabolism, demonstrating that flexibility in nutrient acquisition is central to the ability of the bacteria to adapt, permitting survival in vastly different environments. The use of the defined medium also demonstrated that S. uberis was able to form ii biofilms; this ability being variable depending on the growth conditions used and the isolate studied. Most significantly, under conditions representative of the mammary gland, there was an apparent trend for high levels of biofilm formation to correlate with isolates from persistent infections. Biofilm formation by Staphylococcus aureus is considered to be pivotal to the development of chronic mastitis, thus, biofilms may similarly play a role in S. uberis persistence. In an attempt to identify the molecular basis for S. uberis biofilm formation, genes with homology to those of the intercellular adhesion (ica) operon, well described for their involvement in Staphylococcus epidermidis and S. aureus biofilm formation, were identified in the genome sequence of S. uberis 0140J. A targeted mutagenesis protocol was optimised to „knock out‟ these genes and observe the subsequent effects of these mutations on biofilm formation. During the course of this study, two of these potential biofilm genes (hasA and SUB 0809) were deleted from the S. uberis 0140J chromosome. Surprisingly, deletion of these genes did not retard subsequent biofilm formation, but instead biofilm formation was dramatically improved in the mutant strains. Characterisation of mastitis-causing S. uberis strains and a detailed understanding of the pathogenicity of the organism are required to further the development of a successful vaccine. The research presented in this thesis has increased the knowledge of these important research objectives and optimised techniques which will allow further advancement of knowledge in this field. iii Declaration The work reported in this thesis was carried out under the supervision of Dr Michael C. Fontaine and Professor David G. E. Smith at the Moredun Research Institute and the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Glasgow. All results presented, unless otherwise stated, are the sole work of this author, as is the composition of this thesis. Signed: Date: iv Acknowledgements When I left university, completing a PhD was the last thing I thought I would ever do, so no one is more surprised than me to find myself submitting this thesis. I feel like I have so many people to thank, my hard work alone would not have got me through this chapter in my life. It was with the direction and support from a great many people that I have achieved something which at times, I did not think I could, but which now, I am proud of. To begin I would like to offer my deepest gratitude to my supervisors, Dr. Mike Fontaine and Prof. David Smith for pushing me to achieve my potential, supporting me academically and providing sound advice and direction. Thanks also to Prof. Ruth Zadoks for considerable MLST and epidemiology advice and Alex Lainson and Frank Wright for bioinformatics/phylogenetics assistance. The staff at the Moredun Research Institute have been incredibly helpful and made this experience, for the most part, an enjoyable one. Heartfelt thanks must also go to Caray, Anita, Eleanor, Flo, Sabrina, Sarah and Henny, who in particular supported me through the tough times and helped me celebrate the good times. I would especially like to thank Caray and Karen for their guidance in the lab. I would also like to mention the other Moredun PhD students who were always a valuable source of encouragement and advice. Further thanks to sporting Moredun for helping vent frustrations. I would also like to thank my past and present Bacteriology colleagues, particularly Colin, Malcolm, Gordon, Sandy, David, Scott and last but not least Chris. I must also specifically mention Kevin Mclean for helping me get my head around the BioTyping software and the IT department for solving numerous PC related crises. I would now like to take a moment to thank my family, particularly my Mum and Dad who have always been incredibly supportive and encouraging, but also Matt and Kate for being the wonderful people they are. Huge thanks also to Mum G and Jason for their advice, company, highland holidays, and for welcoming me into their family so lovingly. Thanks also to my closest friends Louise and Darren for their love, fun and among other things helping me buy a lap top (thanks also to Mum and Dad, Mum G and Aunty Mags for that). To all my other friends and family members not listed (to avoid going on forever, as I am prone to do!) thanks for helping me be the person I am today. My last paragraph is reserved as it should be, for the most important person in my life. I would like to say a massive thank you to my husband and my rock, Gavin. Thanks for your love, understanding, encouragement and kindness, as well as for doing the cooking, cleaning and tidying when it was all too much for me; without your support I don‟t think I would have stuck at it during the tough times. Thanks for putting up with the tears and the tantrums, for taking me out, making me laugh, being there for me and always giving me something to look forward to. v Table of Contents Abstract ...................................................................................... ii Declaration ................................................................................... iv Acknowledgements ........................................................................... v Table of Contents ........................................................................... vi List of Tables.................................................................................. x List of Figures ..............................................................................

  • Glossary Glossary
    Glossary Glossary Albedo A measure of an object’s reflectivity. A pure white reflecting surface has an albedo of 1.0 (100%). A pitch-black, nonreflecting surface has an albedo of 0.0. The Moon is a fairly dark object with a combined albedo of 0.07 (reflecting 7% of the sunlight that falls upon it). The albedo range of the lunar maria is between 0.05 and 0.08. The brighter highlands have an albedo range from 0.09 to 0.15. Anorthosite Rocks rich in the mineral feldspar, making up much of the Moon’s bright highland regions. Aperture The diameter of a telescope’s objective lens or primary mirror. Apogee The point in the Moon’s orbit where it is furthest from the Earth. At apogee, the Moon can reach a maximum distance of 406,700 km from the Earth. Apollo The manned lunar program of the United States. Between July 1969 and December 1972, six Apollo missions landed on the Moon, allowing a total of 12 astronauts to explore its surface. Asteroid A minor planet. A large solid body of rock in orbit around the Sun. Banded crater A crater that displays dusky linear tracts on its inner walls and/or floor. 250 Basalt A dark, fine-grained volcanic rock, low in silicon, with a low viscosity. Basaltic material fills many of the Moon’s major basins, especially on the near side. Glossary Basin A very large circular impact structure (usually comprising multiple concentric rings) that usually displays some degree of flooding with lava. The largest and most conspicuous lava- flooded basins on the Moon are found on the near side, and most are filled to their outer edges with mare basalts.

  • Observational Data Disfavor Dark Matter and Stochastic Star Formation
    1 Galaxies as simple dynamical systems: observational data disfavor dark matter and stochastic star formation Pavel Kroupa Abstract: According to modern theory galactic evolution is driven by the dynamics of dark matter and stochastic star formation, but galaxies are observed to be simple systems. The existence of dark matter particles is a key hypothesis in present-day cosmology and galactic dynamics. Given the large body of high-quality work within the standard model of cosmology (SMoC), the validity of this hypothesis is challenged significantly by two independent arguments: (1) The dual dwarf galaxy theorem must be true in any realistic cosmological model. But the now available data appear to falsify it when the dark-matter-based model is compared with the observational data. A consistency test for this conclusion comes 8 from the significantly anisotropic distributions of satellite galaxies (baryonic mass < 10 M ) which orbit in the same direction around their hosting galaxies in disk-like structures which cannot be derived from dark-matter models. (2) The action of dynamical friction due to expansive and massive dark matter halos must be evident in the galaxy population. The evidence for dynamical friction is poor or even absent. Independently of this, the long history of failures of the SMoC have the likelihood that it describes the observed Universe to less than 10−4 %. The implication for fundamental physics is that exotic dark matter particles do not exist and that consequently effective gravitational physics on the scales of galaxies and beyond ought to be non-Newtonian/non-Einsteinian. An analysis of the kinematical data in galaxies shows them to be described in the weak-gravitational regime elegantly by scale-invariant dynamics, as discovered by Milgrom.

These archival hold­ ings, now amounting to about 900,000 cubic feet, date from the days of the Continental Congresses; they include the basic records of the three branches of our Government-­ Congress, the courts, and the executive departments and independent agencies. The Presidential Libraries.. - Hoover, Roosevelt, Truman, and Eisenhower--contain the papers of those Presidents and many of their associates in office. Among our holdings are many hallowed documents relating to great events of our Nation's history, preserved and ven­ erated as symbols to stimulate a worthy patriotism in all of us. But most of the records are l~ss dramatic, kept because of their continuing practical utility for the ordinary proc­ esses of government, for the protection of private rights, and for the research use of students and scholars. To facilitatethe use of the records and to describetheir nature and content, our archivists prepare various kinds of finding aids. The present work is one suchpublication.
