• Potential of bacteriocin producing bacteria to control VRE infection 

  Wiggins Savage, Kelsie (University College Cork, 2021-01-08)

  Antimicrobial resistance has been a growing and concerning problem over the last decade. It is estimated that antibiotic resistant pathogens cause up to 700,000 deaths each year. The Centre for Disease Control ranks ...
• Leveraging community-based sequencing approaches to characterise the dairy microbiome 

  Yap, Min (University College Cork, 2022)

  Microorganisms exist in communities along the food chain and contribute, positively and negatively, to the safety and quality of food products downstream. While traditional culture-based methods usually investigate specific ...
• Characterization and engineering of sugar transporters in the yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus for biotechnological applications 

  Donzella, Lorena (University College Cork, 2022-06-30)

  Sustainable and efficient use of lignocellulosic hydrolysates in yeast-based biorefineries requires the simultaneous consumption of all the sugars present in this raw material, hexoses and pentoses. This represents a key ...
• The separate effects of whole oats and isolated beta-glucan on lipid profile: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials 

  de Morais Junior, Alcides C.; Schincaglia, Raquel M.; Viana, Ricardo B.; Armet, Anissa M.; Prado, Carla M.; Walter, Jens; Mota, João F. (Elsevier Ltd on behalf of European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism, 2022-12-19)

  Background & Aims: It is well known that dietary fiber positively impacts the microbiome and health as a whole. However, the health effects of β-glucan, a dietary fiber extracted from oats, have been questioned when ...
• Evaluating substrate utilisation to target newly identified health-promoting gut bacteria
