• Biomedical applications for bacteriocins in infection and oncology 

  Ellis, Jenna-Claire (University College Cork, 2018)

  Lantibiotics are a subclass of a group of bacterially produced antimicrobial peptides called bacteriocins. They are characterized by post-translation modifications resulting in the presence of unusual amino acid residues ...
• An Investigation into the utilisation of ethanolamine by uropathogenic E. coli 

  Dadswell, Katherine (University College Cork, 2019)

  Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common bacterial infections worldwide with E. coli as the causal organism responsible for 75% of all cases. Uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) naturally reside in the ...
• 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. ...
• 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 ...
• High-throughput sequencing-based characterisation of fermented foods and their impacts on host gut microbiota 

  Walsh, Aaron M. (University College Cork, 2018)

  Fermentation has been practised worldwide for millennia as a method to preserve or enhance foods, and, today, fermented foods remain a significant component in the human diet. Additionally, these foods are becoming ...
