Journal ArticleDOI
Petroleum Hydrocarbon Contamination in Terrestrial Ecosystems-Fate and Microbial Responses.
Adam Truskewycz,Taylor D. Gundry,Leadin S. Khudur,Adam Kolobaric,Mohamed Taha,Mohamed Taha,Arturo Aburto-Medina,Andrew S. Ball,Esmaeil Shahsavari +8 more
TL;DR: The fate of petroleum hydrocarbons in tertial environments is described and the contributions of different microbial consortia for optimum petroleum hydrocarbon bioremediation potential are discussed, including the impact of high-throughput metagenomic sequencing in determining the underlying degradation mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
The potential for soil carbon sequestration in three tropical dryland farming systems of Africa and Latin America: A modelling approach
TL;DR: In this paper, two well-proven soil organic matter models (CENTURY 4.0 and RothC-26 3) were used to explore the effects of modifying agricultural practices to increase soil carbon stocks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) production and loss in an estuarine, diatom-dominated, microalgal biofilm over a tidal emersion-immersion period.
A. R. M. Hanlon,Brent J. Bellinger,Kelly Haynes,G. Xiao,Tanja A. Hofmann,Michael R. Gretz,Andrew S. Ball,A. M. Osborn,Graham J. C. Underwood +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied patterns of production and loss of four different extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) fractions and community profiles of active (RNA) bacterial communities by using terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis of reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction amplified 16S rRNA in mudflats in the Colne Estuary, United Kingdom, over two tidal emersion-immersion cycles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dual application of duckweed and azolla plants for wastewater treatment and renewable fuels and petrochemicals production
Nazim Muradov,Mohamed Taha,Ana F. Miranda,Krishna K. Kadali,Amit Gujar,Simone Rochfort,Trevor W. Stevenson,Andrew S. Ball,Aidyn Mouradov +8 more
TL;DR: The generated data suggest that the composition of the petrochemicals can be modified in a targeted fashion, not only by using different species, but also by changing the source plants’ metabolic profile, by exposing them to different abiotic or biotic stresses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitive Multiplex Real-Time Reverse Transcription-PCR Assay for the Detection of Human and Animal Noroviruses in Clinical and Environmental Samples
Sandro Wolf,Wendy M. Williamson,Joanne Hewitt,Malet Rivera-Aban,Susan Lin,Andrew S. Ball,Paula Scholes,Gail E. Greening +7 more
TL;DR: A new bovine norovirus, Bo/NLV/Norsewood/2006/NZL, was identified by this assay and was further genetically characterized.
