• Controlled functional expression of the bacteriocins pediocin PA-1 and bactofencin A in Escherichia coli 

  Mesa-Pereira, Beatriz; O’Connor, Paula M.; Rea, Mary C.; Cotter, Paul D.; Hill, Colin; Ross, R. Paul (Nature Publishing Group, 2017-06-08)

  The bacteriocins bactofencin A (class IId) and pediocin PA-1 (class IIa) are encoded by operons with a similarly clustered gene organization including a structural peptide, an immunity protein, an ABC transporter and ...
• Strain-level metagenomic analysis of the fermented dairy beverage nunu highlights potential food safety risks 

  Walsh, Aaron M.; Crispie, Fiona; Daari, Kareem; O'Sullivan, Orla; Martin, Jennifer C.; Arthur, Cornelius T.; Claesson, Marcus J.; Scott, Karen P.; Cotter, Paul D. (American Society for Microbiology, 2017-06-16)

  The rapid detection of pathogenic strains in food products is essential for the prevention of disease outbreaks. It has already been demonstrated that whole metagenome shotgun sequencing can be used to detect pathogens in ...
• The effect of exercise interventions on inflammatory biomarkers in healthy, physically inactive subjects: a systematic review 

  Cronin, Owen; Keohane, David M.; Molloy, Michael G.; Shanahan, Fergus (Oxford University Press, 2017-05-02)

  Background: Increases in physical activity ameliorate low-grade systemic inflammation in disease populations such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease. The effects of aerobic and resistance training (RT) ...
• Bacteriocin Gene-Trait matching across the complete Lactobacillus Pan-genome 

  Collins, Fergus W. J.; O'Connor, Paula M.; O'Sullivan, Orla; Gómez-Sala, Beatriz; Rea, Mary C.; Hill, Colin; Ross, R. Paul (Nature Publishing Group, 2017-06)

  Lactobacilli constitute a large genus of Gram-positive lactic acid bacteria which have widespread roles ranging from gut commensals to starters in fermented foods. A combination of in silico and laboratory-based screening ...
• Cloning, expression and characterization of a β-d-xylosidase from Lactobacillus rossiae DSM 15814T 

  Pontonio, Erica; Mahony, Jennifer; Di Cagno, Raffaella; O’Connell Motherway, Mary; Lugli, Gabriele Andrea; O’Callaghan, Amy; De Angelis, Maria; Ventura, Marco; Gobbetti, Marco; van Sinderen, Douwe (BioMed Central, 2016-05-03)

  Background: Among the oligosaccharides that may positively affect the gut microbiota, xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) and arabinoxylan oligosaccharides (AXOS) possess promising functional properties. Ingestion of XOS has been ...
