Alginate beads as a storage, delivery and containment system for genetically modified PCB degrader and PCB biosensor derivatives of Pseudomonas fluorescens F113.
Power, B; Liu, Xuemei; Germaine, Kieran J.; Ryan, David; Brazil, Dina; Dowling, David N. (The Society for Applied Microbiology, 2011)Aims: Pseudomonas fluorescens F113Rifpcb is a genetically engineered rhizosphere bacterium with the potential to degrade polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). F113Rifpcbgfp and F113L::1180gfp are biosensor strains capable of ... -
Application of endophytic Pseudomonas fluorescens and a bacterial consortium to Brassica napus can increase plant height and biomass under greenhouse and field conditions
Lally, Richard D.; Galbally, Paul; Moreira, António S.; Spink, John; Ryan, David; Germaine, Kieran J.; Dowling, David N. (Frontiers Media, 2017)Plant associated bacteria with plant growth promotion (PGP) properties have been proposed for use as environmentally friendly biofertilizers for sustainable agriculture; however, analysis of their efficacy in the field is ... -
Chromium monitoring in water by colorimetry using optimised 1,5-diphenylcarbazide method
Lace, Annija; Ryan, David; Bowkett, Mark; Cleary, John (MDPI, 2019)Chromium contamination of drinking water has become a global problem due to its extensive use in industry. The most commonly used methods for chromium detection in water are laboratory-based methods, such as atomic absorption ... -
Ecopiling: a combined phytoremediation and passive biopiling system for remediating hydrocarbon impacted soils at field scale
Germaine, Kieran J.; Byrne, John; Liu, Xuemei; Keohane, Jer; Culhane, John; Lally, Richard D.; Kiwanuka, Samuel; Ryan, David; Dowling, David N. (Frontiers Media, 2015)Biopiling is an ex situ bioremediation technology that has been extensively used for remediating a wide range of petrochemical contaminants in soils. Biopiling involves the assembling of contaminated soils into piles and ... -
Microbes a tool for the remediation of organotin pollution determined by static headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry
Finnegan, Christopher; Ryan, David; Enright, Anne-Marie; Garcia-Cabellos, Guiomar (MDPI, 2018)Tributyltin (TBT) is one of the most toxic anthropogenic compounds introduced into the marine environment. Despite its global ban in 2008, TBT is still a problem of great concern due to its high affinity for particulate ... -
Plant growth promotion induced by phosphate solubilizing endophytic Pseudomonas isolates.
Oteino, Nicholas; Lally, Richard D.; Kiwanuka, Samuel; Lloyd, Andrew; Ryan, David; Germaine, Kieran J.; Dowling, David N. (Frontiers Media, 2015)The use of plant growth promoting bacterial inoculants as live microbial biofertilizers provides a promising alternative to chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Inorganic phosphate solubilization is one of the major ... -
Whole-cell fluorescent biosensors for bioavailability and biodegradation of polychlorinated biphenyls.
Liu, Xuemei; Germaine, Kieran J.; Ryan, David; Dowling, David N. (MDPI, 2010)Whole-cell microbial biosensors are one of the newest molecular tools used in environmental monitoring. Such biosensors are constructed through fusing a reporter gene such as lux, gfp or lacZ,to a responsive promoter. There ...
