• Feasibility study for the production of novel galacto-oligosaccharides based on Bifidobacterial β-galactosidases 

  Ambrogi, Valentina (University College Cork, 2020-04)

  Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) are complex carbohydrates that are produced from lactose by means of an enzymatic reaction catalised by a β-galactosidase. Together with fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) and inulin, GOS have ...
• Graphene addition to digestion of thin stillage can alleviate acidic shock and improve biomethane production 

  Wu, Benteng; Lin, Richen; Kang, Xihui; Deng, Chen; Xia, Ao; Dobson, Alan D. W.; Murphy, Jerry D. (ACS Publications, 2020-08-12)

  Production of biomethane from distillery byproducts (such as stillage) in a circular economy system may facilitate a climate neutral alcohol industry. Anaerobic digestion (AD) of easily degradable substrates can lead to ...
• Monitoring lactococcal phages during milk fermentation 

  Slavin, Rebecca (University College Cork, 2019-10-21)

  Complex undefined starter cultures are widely used for the production of Dutch- style cheese such as Gouda and Edam. They exhibit more resistance to phage infection in comparison to defined starter cultures. Thus, of recent ...
• Profiling bacteriophages of the human gut and exploring their application in food and medicine 

  Lewis, Rhea (University College Cork, 2020-02-26)

  Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses which infect bacteria and are ubiquitous in nature. Phage research has undergone periods of interest and indifference, but are now common tools with some suggesting that they will become ...
• Characterization of beer-spoiling Lactobacillus brevis and their associated bacteriophages 

  Feyereisen, Marine (University College Cork, 2019-10-14)

  Certain bacteria have acquired the ability to survive and even grow in beer, despite the antimicrobial nature of this harsh liquid environment. Bacterial growth in beer is often attributed to lactic acid bacteria (LAB) ...
