Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced Biological Straw Saccharification Through Coculturing of Lignocellulose-Degrading Microorganisms
Mohamed Taha,Mohamed Taha,Esmaeil Shahsavari,Khalid A. Al-Hothaly,Aidyn Mouradov,Andrew T. Smith,Andrew S. Ball,Eric M. Adetutu +7 more
TL;DR: Overall, co-culturing can result in significant increases in saccharification which may offer significant commercial potential for the use of microbial consortia.
The role of sustainable agriculture and renewable-resource management in reducing greenhouse-gas emissions and increasing sinks in China and India.
TL;DR: An analysis of the technical options in agriculture for reducing greenhouse–gas emissions and increasing sinks, arising from three distinct mechanisms: increasing carbon sinks in soil organic matter and above–ground biomass, and increasing renewable–energy production from biomass.
Journal ArticleDOI
The recovery of lignocellulose-degrading enzymes from spent mushroom compost
Andrew S. Ball,Anita M. Jackson +1 more
TL;DR: The activity and stability of the enzymes suggest a potential role for enzyme cocktails from compost extracts in the biological upgrading of grass lignocelluloses to animal fodder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular detection of norovirus in sheep and pigs in New Zealand farms.
Sandro Wolf,Wendy M. Williamson,Joanne Hewitt,Susan Lin,Malet Rivera-Aban,Andrew S. Ball,Paula Scholes,M.G. Savill,Gail E. Greening +8 more
TL;DR: This is the first report describing norovirus in sheep and a study of 56 faecal specimens from pigs and sheep that were collected and screened for noroviruses using a multiplex real-time RT-PCR technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodesulfurization potential of a newly isolated bacterium, Gordonia alkanivorans RIPI90A
TL;DR: The results suggest that this strain of Gordonia alkanivorans RIPI90A is of potential for the biodesulfurization of diesel oils.
