Two novel Raoultella species associated with bleeding cankers of broadleaf hosts, Raoultella scottia sp. nov. and Raoultella lignicola sp. nov. (2024)
Journal Article

Seventeen Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic bacterial strains were isolated from bleeding cankers of various broadleaf hosts and oak rhizosphere soil in Great Britain. The strains were tentatively identified as belonging to the genus Raoultella...

The taxonomic and genomic investigation of soil microorganisms associated with Acute Oak Decline (2023)
Thesis

Cases of the current episode of Acute Oak Decline (AOD) were first described in the UK in 2008 on native British oaks, but currently this disease is seen to affect most species of oak on a global scale. The disease has become a focus of forest resear... Read More about The taxonomic and genomic investigation of soil microorganisms associated with Acute Oak Decline.

Description of Dryocola gen. nov. and two novel species, Dryocola boscaweniae sp. nov. and Dryocola clanedunensis sp. nov. isolated from the rhizosphere of native British oaks (2023)
Journal Article

While investigating the role of the rhizosphere in the development of Acute Oak Decline, bacterial strains belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae were isolated from rhizosphere soil following enrichment for the Enterobacterales. Partial sequencin...

Description of a novel species of Leclercia, Leclercia tamurae sp. nov. and proposal of a novel genus Silvania gen. nov. containing two novel species Silvania hatchlandensis sp. nov. and Silvania confinis sp. nov. isolated from the rhizosphere of oak (2022)
Journal Article

Background: Acute Oak Decline (AOD) is a decline disease first reported on native oaks in the UK, but in recent years reports from further afield such as Europe and the Middle East, indicate that the distribution and host range is increasing at an al...

Transfer of Erwinia toletana and Erwinia iniecta to a novel genus Winslowiella gen. nov. as Winslowiella toletana comb. nov. and Winslowiella iniecta comb. nov. and description of Winslowiella arboricola sp. nov., isolated from bleeding cankers on broadleaf hosts (2022)
Journal Article

Following a screening campaign of bleeding cankers of broadleaf hosts in Great Britain, numerous bacterial strains were isolated, identified by 16S rRNA and protein-coding gene sequencing and ultimately classified. During the course of the study, sev...

Description of three novel species of Scandinavium: Scandinavium hiltneri sp. nov., Scandinavium manionii sp. nov. and Scandinavium tedordense sp. nov., isolated from the oak rhizosphere and bleeding cankers of broadleaf hosts (2022)
Journal Article

While investigating the bacterial populations of environmental samples taken from a mix of healthy and Acute Oak Decline afflicted Quercus robur (pedunculate or English oak) rhizosphere soil samples and swabs of bleeding lesions on Tilia spp. (lime)...
