The Effect of Exposure to UV Light on Rad51 Expression in Tetrahymena thermophila
Patch, Kendall; McInnis, Kerri; Otto-Hitt, Stefanie (2018-07-01)In this experiment, we attempted to answer the question: Does exposure to UV light affect expressionof the Rad51 gene in Tetrahymena thermophila? It was hypothesized that the expression of Rad51 would increase proportionately ... -
The Effect of Metal Pollutants on Cell Growth and TTHERM0058490ExpressioninT etrahymenathermophila
Bains, Inderbir; French, William; Otto-Hitt, Stefanie (2018-07-01)In this experiment, we sought to answer the following question: Do higher levels of metal exposure affect expression of the TTHERM 00584900 gene in Tetrahymena thermophila? The TTHERM 00584900 gene produces an ATP-binding ... -
The Effects of Warming Temperatures on Rad51 Expression in Tetrahymena thermophila
Brunson, Timothy; Lefstad, Rachael; Otto-Hitt, Stefanie (2018-07-01)Our experiment explored whether raised temperatures affected expression of the Rad51 gene in Tetrahymena thermophila. Our hypothesis was that raised temperatures would result in a decrease in expression of the Rad51 gene. ... -
UV Light Exposure and Tetrahymena thermophilia: Expression of the PHR2 Gene
Moloney, Molly; Gustavsen, Tanner; Otto-Hitt, Stefanie (2018-07-01)The PHR2 (photolyase repair) gene functions in the repair of DNA in Tetrahymena thermophila. It was hypothesized that when Tetrahymena cultures are exposed to UV light, increased expression of PHR2 would occur in response ...
