Title: DNA Hybridization Studies and Phenotypic Characterizations of Carbon Source Usage of the Kistimonas Species
Developed under the guidance of Dr. Michelle Thomas , Biology

A proposed bacterial species, Kistimonas allitiae, has been isolated from the marine polychaete Alitta succinea and shows potential for bioremediation efforts as a surfactant degrader. Genomic hybridization studies and phenotypic assays will compare the proposed species with the two established Kistimonas species.
