Draft genome sequences of 14 Escherichia coli phages isolated from cattle slurry (2015)
Journal Article
Smith, R., O'Hara, M., Hobman, J. L., & Millard, A. (2015). Draft genome sequences of 14 Escherichia coli phages isolated from cattle slurry. Genome Announcements, 3(6), Article e01364-15. https://doi.org/10.1128/genomeA.01364-15

The diversity of bacteriophages in slurry from dairy cows remains largely unknown. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of 14 bacteriophages isolated from dairy cow slurry using Escherichia coli K-12 MG1655 as a host.

Efficiency of disinfectants against Rotavirus in the presence and absence of organic matter (2015)
Journal Article
Chandler-Bostock, R., & Mellits, K. (in press). Efficiency of disinfectants against Rotavirus in the presence and absence of organic matter. Letters in Applied Microbiology, 61(6), https://doi.org/10.1111/lam.12502

Rotavirus is an enteric pathogen that causes morbidity and mortality in young mammals, including pigs. Outbreaks of rotavirus on commercial farms have a significant economic impact in terms of losses in production. Effective cleaning and disinfection...

The role of plant cell wall encapsulation and porosity in regulating lipolysis during the digestion of almond seeds (2015)
Journal Article

Previous studies have provided evidence that the physical encapsulation of intracellular nutrients by cell walls of plant foods (i.e. dietary fibre) plays a predominant role in influencing macronutrient bioaccessibility (release) from plant foods dur...

Developing a reduced consumer-led lexicon to measure emotional response to beer (2015)
Journal Article
Chaya, C., Eaton, C., Hewson, L., Fernández Vázquezc, R., Fernández-Ruiz, V., Smart, K. A., & Hort, J. (2015). Developing a reduced consumer-led lexicon to measure emotional response to beer. Food Quality and Preference, 45, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodqual.2015.06.003

Previous researchers have recently recommended and utilised consumer-led lexicons to measure emotional response. This study further advances this approach by 1) making the lexicon generation process more efficient by using consumer focus groups as op...
