Engineering plant biomass lignin content and composition for biofuels and bioproducts
(MDPI, 2015)
Lignin is an aromatic biopolymer involved in providing structural support to plant cell walls. Compared to the other cell wall polymers, i.e., cellulose and hemicelluloses, lignin has been considered a hindrance in cellulosic ...
Alginate beads as a storage, delivery and containment system for genetically modified PCB degrader and PCB biosensor derivatives of Pseudomonas fluorescens F113.
(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 ...
Characterisation of the complete mitochondrial genome of the insect-parasitic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora: an idiosyncratic gene order and the presence of multiple long non-coding regions
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2021-06)
We present here the complete mtDNA genome (mitogenome) of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, an important biological control agent of soil-dwelling insect pests in agriculture and horticulture. This is the first description ...
Ecopiling: a combined phytoremediation and passive biopiling system for remediating hydrocarbon impacted soils at field scale
(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 ...
Genome sequence of the biocontrol strain Pseudomonas fluorescens F113.
(American Society for Microbiology, 2012)
Pseudomonas fluorescens F113 is a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR) that has biocontrol activity against fungal plant pathogens and is a model for rhizosphere colonization. Here, we present its complete genome ...
Bumblebee (Hymenoptera: Apidae) sample storage for a posteriori molecular studies: Interactions between sample storage and DNA-extraction techniques.
(Institute of Entomology, 2013)
A global decline in pollinator abundance and diversity has demanded increased research attention to the ecology and genetics of bumblebees. However, as progressively more restrictions are placed on sampling for insects, ...
Crop establishment practices are a driver of the plant microbiota in winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus)
(Frontiers Media, 2017)
Gaining a greater understanding of the plant microbiota and its interactions with its host plant heralds a new era of scientific discovery in agriculture. Different agricultural management practices influence soil microbial ...
Combining remote temperature sensing with in-situ sensing to track marine/freshwater mixing dynamics.
(MDPI, 2016)
The ability to track the dynamics of processes in natural water bodies on a global scale, and at a resolution that enables highly localised behaviour to be visualized, is an ideal scenario for understanding how local events ...
Profiling antibiotic resistance and electrotransformation potential of Ensifer adhaerens OV14; a non-Agrobacterium species capable of efficient rates of plant transformation.
(Oxford University Press, 2015)
Ensifer adhaerens OV14 underpins the successful crop transformation protocol termed Ensifer-mediated transformation but issues exist in regard to addressing the pleomorphic tendency of the bacterium in suboptimal conditions, ...
From outsider to insider: The effect of engaging in action research on developing and assessing critical writing and subject knowledge in a second-year microbiology module
(All Ireland Society for Higher Education (AISHE), 2017)
