Whole genome structural predictions reveal hidden diversity in putative oxidative enzymes of the lignocellulose-degrading ascomycete <i>Parascedosporium putredinis</i> NO1 Open
Economic valorization of lignocellulose is paramount to realizing a true circular bioeconomy; however, this requires the development of systems and processes to expand the repertoire of bioproducts beyond current renewable fuels, chemicals…

Compensatory mutations reducing the fitness cost of plasmid carriage occur in plant rhizosphere communities Open
Plasmids drive bacterial evolutionary innovation by transferring ecologically important functions between lineages, but acquiring a plasmid often comes at a fitness cost to the host cell. Compensatory mutations, which ameliorate the cost o…

Plasmids manipulate bacterial behaviour through translational regulatory crosstalk Open
Beyond their role in horizontal gene transfer, conjugative plasmids commonly encode homologues of bacterial regulators. Known plasmid regulator homologues have highly targeted effects upon the transcription of specific bacterial traits. He…

A multi-omics approach to lignocellulolytic enzyme discovery reveals a new ligninase activity from <i>Parascedosporium putredinis</i> NO1 Open
Significance Lignocellulose, in the form of crop residues, presents an attractive alternative to crude oil for both the production of renewable fuels and chemicals. Its large-scale application as a feedstock, however, remains limited. A bo…

Defining functional diversity for lignocellulose degradation in a microbial community using multi-omics studies Open
A combination of mass spectrometry-based proteomics coupled with metatranscriptomics has enabled the identification of a large number of lignocellulose degrading enzymes that can now be further explored for the development of improved enzy…

Revealing the insoluble metasecretome of lignocellulose-degrading microbial communities Open
Microbial communities metabolize plant biomass using secreted enzymes; however, identifying extracellular proteins tightly bound to insoluble lignocellulose in these microbiomes presents a challenge, as the rigorous extraction required to …

Defining the functional traits that drive bacterial decomposer community productivity Open
Microbial communities are essential to a wide range of ecologically and industrially important processes. To control or predict how these communities function, we require a better understanding of the factors which influence microbial comm…

Autosomal and Z-linked microsatellite markers enhanced for cross-species utility and assessed in a range of birds, including species of conservation concern Open
Microsatellite markers were designed to be of utility for genotyping multiple species of birds, including those of conservation concern, hence saving resources and enabling species/genome comparisons. We used the proven approach of Dawson …

Microwave assisted acid and alkali pretreatment of <i>Miscanthus </i>biomas<i>s </i>for biorefineries Open
Miscanthus is a major bioenergy crop in Europe and a potential feedstock for second generation biofuels. Thermochemical pretreatment is a significant step in the process of converting lignocellulosic biomass into fermentable sugars. In thi…
