Evaluating the potential of natural product combinations with sorbic acid for improving preservative action against food-spoilage yeasts (2023)
Journal Article
Harvey, H. J., Hendry, A. C., Archer, D. B., & Avery, S. V. (2023). Evaluating the potential of natural product combinations with sorbic acid for improving preservative action against food-spoilage yeasts. Fungal Biology, 127(7-8), 1218-1223. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.funbio.2023.01.004

Fungal control methods commonly involve the use of antifungals or preservatives, which can raise concerns about broader effects of these stressors on non-target organisms, spread of resistance and regulatory hurdles. Consequently, control methods ena... Read More about Evaluating the potential of natural product combinations with sorbic acid for improving preservative action against food-spoilage yeasts.

Application of microfluidic systems in modelling impacts of environmental structure on stress-sensing by individual microbial cells (2021)
Journal Article
Harvey, H. J., Chubynsky, M. V., Sprittles, J. E., Shor, L. M., Mooney, S. J., Wildman, R. D., & Avery, S. V. (2022). Application of microfluidic systems in modelling impacts of environmental structure on stress-sensing by individual microbial cells. Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 20, 128-138. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.csbj.2021.11.039

Environmental structure describes physical structure that can determine heterogenous spatial distribution of biotic and abiotic (nutrients, stressors etc.) components of a microorganism's microenvironment. This study investigated the impact of microm... Read More about Application of microfluidic systems in modelling impacts of environmental structure on stress-sensing by individual microbial cells.

Microbial Metal Resistance within Structured Environments Is Inversely Related to Environmental Pore Size (2021)
Journal Article
Harvey, H. J., Mitzakoff, A. M., Wildman, R. D., Mooney, S. J., & Avery, S. V. (2021). Microbial Metal Resistance within Structured Environments Is Inversely Related to Environmental Pore Size. Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 87(20), Article e01005-21. https://doi.org/10.1128/AEM.01005-21

The physical environments in which microorganisms naturally reside rarely have homogeneous structure, and changes in their porous architecture may have effects on microbial activities that are not typically captured in conventional laboratory studies...
