Journal ArticleDOI
Up-Cycling of PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) to the Biodegradable Plastic PHA (Polyhydroxyalkanoate)
Shane T. Kenny,Jasmina Nikodinovic Runic,Walter Kaminsky,Trevor Woods,Ramesh Babu,Chris M. Keely,Werner J. Blau,Kevin E. O’Connor +7 more
TL;DR: The conversion of the petrochemical polymer polyethylene terephthalate to a biodegradable plastic polyhydroxyal-kanoate (PHA) is described here and PHA was detected in all three strains when nitrogen depleted below detectable levels in the growth medium.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Prospective Metagenomic and Metabolomic Analysis of the Impact of Exercise and/or Whey Protein Supplementation on the Gut Microbiome of Sedentary Adults
Owen Cronin,Wiley Barton,Wiley Barton,Peter Skuse,Nicholas Penney,Isabel Garcia-Perez,Eileen F. Murphy,Trevor Woods,Helena Nugent,Aine Fanning,Silvia Melgar,Eanna C. Falvey,Elaine Holmes,Paul D. Cotter,Paul D. Cotter,Orla O'Sullivan,Orla O'Sullivan,Michael G. Molloy,Fergus Shanahan +18 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that improved body composition with exercise is not dependent on major changes in the diversity of microbial populations in the gut, andMetagenomics- and metabolomics-based assessments demonstrated modest changes in gut microbial composition and function following increases in physical activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conversion of grass biomass into fermentable sugars and its utilization for medium chain length polyhydroxyalkanoate (mcl-PHA) production by Pseudomonas strains.
Reeta Davis,Rashmi Kataria,Federico Cerrone,Federico Cerrone,Trevor Woods,Shane T. Kenny,Anthonia O’Donovan,Maciej Guzik,Hamid Shaikh,Gearoid Duane,Vijai Kumar Gupta,Maria G. Tuohy,Ramesh Babu Padamatti,Ramesh Babu Padamatti,Eoin Casey,Kevin E. O’Connor,Kevin E. O’Connor +16 more
TL;DR: NaOH pretreated sample had better digestibility than raw and hot water treated samples and this hydrolysate supported good growth of all tested strains with limited mcl-PHA accumulation and yields obtained for these strains when tested with laboratory grade sugars was similar to that achieved with grass derived sugars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conversion of post consumer polyethylene to the biodegradable polymer polyhydroxyalkanoate.
Maciej Guzik,Shane T. Kenny,Gearoid Duane,Eoin Casey,Trevor Woods,Ramesh Babu,Jasmina Nikodinovic-Runic,Jasmina Nikodinovic-Runic,Michael Murray,Kevin E. O’Connor +9 more
TL;DR: To the first report where PE is used as a starting material for production of a biodegradable polymer, the addition of biosurfactant allowed for greater bacterial growth and PHA accumulation of the tested strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a bioprocess to convert PET derived terephthalic acid and biodiesel derived glycerol to medium chain length polyhydroxyalkanoate
Shane T. Kenny,Jasmina Nikodinovic Runic,Jasmina Nikodinovic Runic,Walter Kaminsky,Trevor Woods,Ramesh Babu,Kevin E. O’Connor +6 more
TL;DR: Sodium terephthalate produced from a PET pyrolysis product and waste glycerol from biodiesel manufacture were supplied to Pseudomonas putida GO16 in a fed-batch bioreactor and the order of feeding of WG and TA has an effect on TA utilisation and polymer properties.
