for use for several hours that day while the upgrade is in progress. Deposits to DukeSpace
will be disabled on Monday December 11, so no new items are to be added to the repository
while the upgrade is in progress. Everything should be back to normal by the end of
day, December 12.

Bioremediation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Soils: Designing and Validating Mycoremediation Strategies Using Next Generation Sequencing Insights
(2017)This dissertation presents a framework to improve bioremediation of soils polluted with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs are of great concern because they are recalcitrant and toxic. PAHs enter the environment ... -
Developmental exposure to a complex PAH mixture causes persistent behavioral effects in naive Fundulus heteroclitus (killifish) but not in a population of PAH-adapted killifish.
(Neurotoxicol Teratol, 2016-01)Acute exposures to some individual polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and complex PAH mixtures are known to cause cardiac malformations and edema in the developing fish embryo. However, the heart is not the only organ ... -
Embryonic exposure to benzo[a]pyrene causes age-dependent behavioral alterations and long-term metabolic dysfunction in zebrafish.
(Neurotoxicology and teratology, 2022-09)Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are products of incomplete combustion which are ubiquitous pollutants and constituents of harmful mixtures such as tobacco smoke, petroleum and creosote. Animal studies have shown that ... -
Later Life Consequences of Subteratogenic Exposure to a Complex PAH Mixture in the Atlantic Killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus)
(2015)Subteratogenic and other low-level chronic exposures to toxicant mixtures are an understudied threat to environmental and human health. It is especially important to understand the effects of these exposures for contaminants, ... -
The Elizabeth River Story: A Case Study in Evolutionary Toxicology.
(J Toxicol Environ Health B Crit Rev, 2015)The Elizabeth River system is an estuary in southeastern Virginia, surrounded by the towns of Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Virginia Beach. The river has played important roles in U.S. history and has been the location ... -
The Impacts of Embryonic Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon and Hypoxia Co-Exposures on Two Model Fish Species
(2019)Organisms are routinely subjected to a variety of environmental and chemical perturbations simultaneously. Often, these multi-stressor exposures result in unpredictable toxicity that occurs through unidentified mechanisms. ...
