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...

Soil aggregates by design: Manufactured aggregates with defined microbial composition for interrogating microbial activities in soil microhabitats (2020)
Journal Article
Harvey, H. J., Wildman, R. D., Mooney, S. J., & Avery, S. V. (2020). Soil aggregates by design: Manufactured aggregates with defined microbial composition for interrogating microbial activities in soil microhabitats. Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 148, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soilbio.2020.107870

Differences in the structure of microbial communities are reported to exist between the inside and outside of soil aggregates, but the impacts of soil aggregation on microbial activity in soils, essential for soil health, have proven difficult to stu...

Novel combinations of agents targeting translation that synergistically inhibit fungal pathogens (2018)
Journal Article
Vallières, C., Raulo, R., Dickinson, M., & Avery, S. V. (2018). Novel combinations of agents targeting translation that synergistically inhibit fungal pathogens. Frontiers in Microbiology, 9, Article 2355. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2018.02355

A range of fungicides or antifungals are currently deployed to control fungi in agriculture or medicine, but resistance to current agents is growing so new approaches and molecular targets are urgently needed. Recently, different aminoglycoside antib... Read More about Novel combinations of agents targeting translation that synergistically inhibit fungal pathogens.
