Modeling of Space Crop-Based Dishes for Optimal Nutrient Delivery to Astronauts and Beyond on Earth (2023)
Journal Article
Liang, S., Rivera-Osorio, K., Burgess, A. J., Kumssa, D. B., Escribà-Gelonch, M., Fisk, I., …Hessel, V. (2024). Modeling of Space Crop-Based Dishes for Optimal Nutrient Delivery to Astronauts and Beyond on Earth. ACS Food Science & Technology, 4(1), 104–117. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsfoodscitech.3c00396

Future long-term human exploration of space will need a supply of resources for astronauts, including fresh food from space farms. This means it is necessary to identify combinations of crops that can be successfully grown together and which provide...

Reconstructing promoter activity from Lux bioluminescent reporters (2017)
Journal Article
Iqbal, M., Doherty, N., Page, A. M., Qazi, S. N., Ajmera, I., Lund, P. A., …Stekel, D. J. (2017). Reconstructing promoter activity from Lux bioluminescent reporters. PLoS Computational Biology, 13(9), Article e1005731. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005731

The bacterial Lux system is used as a gene expression reporter. It is fast, sensitive and non-destructive, enabling high frequency measurements. Originally developed for bacterial cells, it has also been adapted for eukaryotic cells, and can be used... Read More about Reconstructing promoter activity from Lux bioluminescent reporters.

Metal Resistance and Its Association With Antibiotic Resistance (2017)
Book Chapter
Pal, C., Asiani, K. R., Arya, S., Rensing, C., Stekel, D. J., Larsson, D. J., & Hobman, J. L. (2017). Metal Resistance and Its Association With Antibiotic Resistance. In R. K. Poole (Ed.), Microbiology of metal ions (261-313). Academic Press. https://doi.org/10.1016/bs.ampbs.2017.02.001

Antibiotic resistance is recognised as a major global threat to public health by the World Health Organization. Currently, several hundred thousand deaths yearly can be attributed to infections with antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The major driver for...

Multidrug resistant, extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli isolated from a dairy farm (2016)
Journal Article
Ibrahim, D. R., Dodd, C. E. R., Stekel, D. J., Ramsden, S. J., & Hobman, J. L. (2016). Multidrug resistant, extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli isolated from a dairy farm. FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 92(4), Article fiw013. https://doi.org/10.1093/femsec/fiw013

Escherichia coli strains were isolated from a single dairy farm as a sentinel organism for the persistence of antibiotic resistance genes in the farm environment. Selective microbiological media were used to isolate 126 E. coli isolates from slurry a...

A Bayesian approach to analyzing phenotype microarray data enables estimation of microbial growth parameters (2016)
Journal Article
Gerstgrasser, M., Nicholls, S., Stout, M., Smart, K., Powell, C., Kypraios, T., & Stekel, D. J. (2016). A Bayesian approach to analyzing phenotype microarray data enables estimation of microbial growth parameters. Journal of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, 14(03), 1-23. https://doi.org/10.1142/S0219720016500074

Biolog phenotype microarrays enable simultaneous, high throughput analysis of cell cultures in different environments. The output is high-density time-course data showing redox curves (approximating growth) for each experimental condition. The softwa...

The dynamic balance of import and export of zinc in Escherichia coli suggests a heterogeneous population response to stress (2015)
Journal Article
Takahashi, H., Oshima, T., Hobman, J. L., Doherty, N., Clayton, S. R., Iqbal, M., …Stekel, D. J. (2015). The dynamic balance of import and export of zinc in Escherichia coli suggests a heterogeneous population response to stress. Interface, 12(106), Article 20150069. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2015.0069

Zinc is essential for life, but toxic in excess. Thus all cells must control their internal zinc concentration. We used a systems approach, alternating rounds of experiments and models, to further elucidate the zinc control systems in Escherichia col...
