An improved conjugation method for Pseudomonas syringae (2020)
Journal Article

In order to achieve saturating transposon mutagenesis of the genome of plant pathogenic strains of Pseudomonas syringae we needed to improve plasmid conjugation frequency. Manipulation of the growth stage of donor and recipient cells allowed the requ... Read More about An improved conjugation method for Pseudomonas syringae.

Inactivation of Listeria monocytogenes in raw and hot smoked trout fillets by high hydrostatic pressure processing combined with liquid smoke and freezing (2020)
Journal Article

High hydrostatic pressure (HHP; 200 MPa for 15 min), liquid smoke (0.50%, v/v) and freezing (−80 °C, overnight) was used to eliminate Listeria monocytogenes in BHI broth, raw and smoked trout. The bactericidal effect of liquid smoke solutions (L9 and...

Nitric oxide, other reactive signalling compounds, redox, and reductive stress (2020)
Journal Article

Nitric oxide (NO) and other reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are key signalling molecules in plants, but they do not work in isolation. NO is produced in cells, often increased in response to stress conditions, but many other reactive compounds used i...

Breath analysis for detection of viral infection, the current position of the field (2020)
Journal Article

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of rapid, cost effective, accurate, and non-invasive testing for viral infections. Volatile compounds (VCs) have been suggested for several decades as fulfilling these criteria. However currently v...

Density functional theory in the prediction of mutagenicity: A perspective (2020)
Journal Article

As a field, computational toxicology is concerned with using in silico models to predict and understand the origins of toxicity. It is fast, relatively inexpensive, and avoids the ethical conundrum of using animals in scientific experimentation. In t...

An overview of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection and the importance of molecular hydrogen as an adjunctive therapy (2020)
Journal Article

SARS-CoV-2 is an emerging β-coronavirus that causes COVID-19 disease that manifests primarily as a pulmonary infection that can rapidly progress into severe and acute respiratory distress in susceptible patients. Initial reports of severe pulmonary i... Read More about An overview of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection and the importance of molecular hydrogen as an adjunctive therapy.

Targeting the ERG oncogene with splice-switching oligonucleotides as a novel therapeutic strategy in prostate cancer (2020)
Journal Article

Background: The ERG oncogene, a member of the ETS family of transcription factor encoding genes, is a genetic driver of prostate cancer. It is activated through a fusion with the androgen-responsive TMPRSS2 promoter in 50% of cases. There is therefor...

The visual vaccine debate on Twitter: A social network analysis (2020)
Journal Article

Pro- and anti-vaccination users use social media outlets, such as Twitter, to join conversations about vaccines, disseminate information or misinformation about immunization, and advocate in favour or against vaccinations. These users not only share... Read More about The visual vaccine debate on Twitter: A social network analysis.

Roadmap for naming uncultivated Archaea and Bacteria (2020)
Journal Article

The assembly of single-amplified genomes (SAGs) and metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) has led to a surge in genome-based discoveries of members affiliated with Archaea and Bacteria, bringing with it a need to develop guidelines for nomenclature of...
