DEVELOPING MICROBIAL BASED PROCESS TO PRODUCE HIGH VALUE NATURAL ANTIMICROBIAL (GLYCEOLLIN) IN SOYBEANS AND PULLULAN FROM SUCROSE BY ANDREA ZAVADIL A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Science Major in Biological Sciences Specialization in Microbiology South Dakota State University 2020 ii THESIS ACCEPTANCE PAGE Andrea Zavadil This thesis is approved as a creditable and independent investigation by a candidate for the master’s degree and is acceptable for meeting the thesis requirements for this degree. Acceptance of this does not imply that the conclusions reached by the candidate are necessarily the conclusions of the major department. Bishnu Karki Advisor Date Heike Bucking Department Head Date Nicole Lounsbery, PhD Director, Graduate School Date iii This thesis is dedicated to my family. To my mom and dad, for pushing me to work hard and believe in myself from the start, while always remembering to take the time to laugh and remain humble. To Nicole and Jason for being the best friends I can laugh with along the way. This work would not have been possible without their constant love and encouragement. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank the following people for their support in obtaining my Masters degree: Dr Bishnu Karki for encouraging my interest in industrial microbiology from my undergraduate to graduate career, for her patience and forever willingness to extend guidance for my research, conferences, and other goals. To Dr. William Gibbons, for allowing me to continue on with learning in my graduate career, and always giving guidance on any project I undertook. To my graduate committee members Dr. Tofuko Woyengo and Dr. Zhong Hu for their input and support throughout my graduate career. To Stephanie Wootton and Burgandy Zschedtzsche for teaching me the ropes when I first joined the lab, staying patient, and making my graduate career so fun. To my campus co- workers Dr. Tom Kasiga, Dr. Jaimie Gibbons, Ahmad Alhomodi, Camille Massmann, and Allison Braun for never saying no to calls for an extra hand, helping count yeast cells, and making my time in lab so enjoyable. To Dr. Mark Berhow of the USDA for his expertise for HPLC analysis and giving guidance throughout my projects. To Nathan Morris, Alethea Caraway, and all team members at Prairie Aquatech for their patience and teaching me how to use the LECO 528 for protein analysis. And finally, to the South Dakota Oilseed Initiative, the South Dakota Oilseed Commission, and the SD Agricultural Experiment Station at SDSU for their funding support that made my research possible. v TABLE OF CONTENTS ABBREVIATIONS ............................................................................................... vii LIST OF FIGURES .............................................................................................. viii LIST OF TABLES .................................................................................................. x ABSTRACT .......................................................................................................... xii Chapter I.
