This talk explores Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae, a bacterium that rarely causes respiratory disease in domestic sheep and goats but poses a deadly threat to their wild counterparts. When domestic herds come in contact with bighorn sheep, the pathogen can spread, leading to severe pneumonia outbreaks impacting wild populations.
A new look, or graphic treatment, is part of our transition from a center (CMCI) to an institute (IMCI). In October, Creative Services attended a Brown Bag Lunch to talk about the U of I brand. They also collected input and ideas from participants for an IMCI graphic. All of it is so that we…

For Methylobacterium extorquens, lethal levels of the toxic metabolic intermediate formaldehyde can select for mutants beneficial in this environment, but we have also found that they can survive via epigenetic inheritance. This occurs at much higher rates and can be passed…
