• Discovery and evaluation of novel and characterised bacteriocins for future applications 

  Egan, Kevin (University College Cork, 2018)

  Bacteriocins are a heterogeneous group of small, ribosomal-synthesised, antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteria, capable of inhibiting bacteria both closely related or indeed those from other genera than the producer. ...
• Candidate genes associated with the heritable humoral response to Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis in dairy cows have factors in common with gastrointestinal diseases in humans 

  McGovern, S. P.; Purfield, D. C.; Ring, S. C.; Carthy, T. R.; Graham, D. A.; Berry, D. P. (Elsevier B.V., 2019-03-07)

  Infection of cattle with bovine paratuberculosis (i.e., Johne's disease) is caused by Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) and results in a chronic incurable gastroenteritis. This disease, which has economic ...

(Elsevier Ltd, 2018-12-11)

  Summary Background & aims Malnutrition in older adults results in significant personal, social, and economic burden. To combat this complex, multifactorial issue, evidence-based knowledge is needed on the modifiable ...
• The microbial ecology of anaerobic digestion: characterising novel biogas configurations through molecular and statistical methods 

  FitzGerald, Jamie A. (University College Cork, 2018)

  The microbiological generation of methane from organic substrates is a process with incredible flexibility, which has allowed continual innovations in its application as a source of renewable energy. Ireland’s renewable ...
• Identification of an esterase isolated using metagenomic technology which displays an unusual substrate scope and its characterisation as an enantioselective biocatalyst 

  Gavin, Declan P.; Murphy, Edel J.; Foley, Aoife M.; Castilla, Ignacio Abreu; Reen, F. Jerry; Woods, David F.; Collins, Stuart G.; O'Gara, Fergal; Maguire, Anita R. (Wiley, 2019-02-11)

  Evaluation of an esterase annotated as 26D isolated from a marine metagenomic library is described. Esterase 26D was found to have a unique substrate scope, including synthetic transformations which could not be readily ...
