Development of Rhodopseudomonas palustris as a chassis for biotechnological applications
(2018-10-20)The recent surge in biodiesel production has resulted in a huge surplus of crude glycerol, a by-product of the process to the level of 10% by weight. This is turn has caused the price of glycerol to fall dramatically, and ... -
The impact of a single nucleotide polymorphism in fusA1 on biofilm formation and virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(2018-10-02)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen that is now the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised individuals. Those suffering with the genetic disease cystic fibrosis (CF) commonly ... -
Optimizing electrogenic activity from photosynthetic bacteria in bioelectrochemical systems
(2018-10-31)The aims of this project were to investigate a range of limitations affecting the electrical performance of bioelectrochemical systems (BES) and their use as analytical tools. The model cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. ... -
Investigation of Bacillus subtilis Sigma Factor Dynamics Using Improved Single Cell Tools
(2019-03-09)Bacteria can quickly adapt to changing environmental conditions by activating alternative sigma factors. It has been shown previously that single cell approaches can reveal hidden dynamics in sigma factor activation. Here, ...
