While it is generally believed that statins inhibit methane production via their effect on cell membrane biosynthesis, mediated by inhibition of the HMG- CoA reductase, there is accumulating evidence for an alternative or addi- tional mechanism of action where statins inhibit methanogenesis directly.

Barnum, Graduate Office Representative The F -dependent NADP reductase of Methanobrevibacter 420 smithii has been partially purified employing a combination of affinity chromatography with Blue Sepharose (Cl-6B) and molecular sieve chromatography with Sephacryl S-200, The enzyme, which re- 2 quires reduced F420 as an electron donor, has been purified over 145 fold with a recovery of 6%. A molecular weight of 120,00 for the native enzyme was determined by Sephacryl S-200 chromatography.

Gascoyne, supervisor James Bankson, co-supervisor Javier A. Adachi Andrew Dunn Al Bovik Isolation of Microorganisms from Biological Specimens by Dielectrophoresis by Lorenzo D’Amico, B.S., M.S.E. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2014 Acknowledgements This work was possible only through the efforts of so many people. I want to recognize my family for their unconditional love through this journey, and taught me that fortune favors the bold. My mentor and friend, Peter RC Gascoyne, offered far more than guidance; he gave me a world-class laboratory, complete with pre-historic electronics and blood-stained pumps. He taught me so much about science and about life. I cannot think of a better place to begin a career in bioengineering research. I owe so much to Javier Adachi. When not saving lives, Javier made time to help me understand the real challenges that clinicians face in managing infections. I want to acknowledge others in the lab: Fred Becker, Tom Anderson, Jamileh Noshari, Sangjo Shim, and Jason Haber for all the help they offered during my studies. I want to thank Mia Markey and Gary Rylander for awarding me the NIBIB Imaging Sciences training grant.
