Journal Article
Baker, M., Williams, A. D., Hooton, S. P., Helliwell, R., King, E., Dodsworth, T., María Baena-Nogueras, R., Warry, A., Ortori, C. A., Todman, H., Gray-Hammerton, C. J., C. W. Pritchard, A., Iles, E., Cook, R., Emes, R. D., Jones, M. A., Kypraios, T., West, H., Barrett, D. A., Ramsden, S. J., …Stekel, D. J. (2022). Antimicrobial resistance in dairy slurry tanks: a critical point for measurement and control. Environment International, 169, Article 107516. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envint.2022.107516

Waste from dairy production is one of the largest sources of contamination from antimicrobial resistant bacteria (ARB) and genes (ARGs) in many parts of the world. However, studies to date do not provide necessary evidence to inform antimicrobial res...

Endophytic Bacillus spp. from medicinal plants inhibit mycelial growth of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and promote plant growth (2018)
Journal Article
Ansary, M. W. R., Prince, M. F. R. K., Haque, E., Sultana, F., West, H. M., Rahman, M. M., Mondol, M., Akanda, A. M., Rahman, M., Clarke, M. L., & Islam, M. T. (2018). Endophytic Bacillus spp. from medicinal plants inhibit mycelial growth of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and promote plant growth. Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung C, 73(5-6), https://doi.org/10.1515/znc-2018-0002

Plant growth promoting bacteria that are also capable of suppressing plant pathogenic fungi play an important role in sustainable agriculture. There is a critical need of conducting research to discover, characterize and evaluate efficacy of new stra...

Phosphorus recovery as struvite from farm, municipal and industrial waste: feedstock suitability, methods and pre-treatments (2016)
Journal Article
Kataki, S., West, H. M., Clarke, M. L., & Baruah, D. C. (2016). Phosphorus recovery as struvite from farm, municipal and industrial waste: feedstock suitability, methods and pre-treatments. Waste Management, 49, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wasman.2016.01.003

Global population growth requires intensification of agriculture, for which a sustainable supply of phosphorus (P) is essential. Since natural P reserves are diminishing, recovering P from wastes and residues is an increasingly attractive prospect, p...

Phosphorus recovery as struvite: recent concerns for use of seed, alternative Mg source, nitrogen conservation and fertilizer potential (2016)
Journal Article
Kataki, S., West, H. M., Clarke, M. L., & Baruah, D. C. (2016). Phosphorus recovery as struvite: recent concerns for use of seed, alternative Mg source, nitrogen conservation and fertilizer potential. Resources, Conservation and Recycling, 107, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.resconrec.2015.12.009

Finite availability of phosphorus (P) resources makes recovery of this non-substitutable plant nutrient from alternative waste sources an increasingly attractive option of renewed interest. In this context, feasibility of struvite (MgNH4PO4·6H2O) rec...
