Journal Article
Kirikyali, N., Wood, J., & Connerton, I. F. (2014). Characterisation of a recombinant ?-xylosidase (xylA) from Aspergillus oryzae expressed in Pichia pastoris. AMB Express, 4(68), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13568-014-0068-1

β-xylosidases catalyse the hydrolysis of short chain xylooligosaccharides from their non-reducing ends into xylose. In this study we report the heterologous expression of Aspergillus oryzae β-xylosidase (XylA) in Pichia pastoris under the control of...

Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium U288 is an emerging pathogen of pigs. The strain contains three plasmids of diverse origin that encode traits that are of concern for food security and safety, these include antibiotic resistant determinants, a...

Alternative bacteriophage life cycles: the carrier state of Campylobacter jejuni (2014)
Journal Article
Siringan, P., Connerton, P. L., Cummmings, N. J., & Connerton, I. F. (2014). Alternative bacteriophage life cycles: the carrier state of Campylobacter jejuni. Open Biology, 4(3), Article 130200. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsob.130200

Members of the genus Campylobacter are frequently responsible for human enteric disease, often through consumption of contaminated poultry products. Bacteriophages are viruses that have the potential to control pathogenic bacteria, but understanding...

Heterologous expression and kinetic characterisation of Neurospora crassa ?-xylosidase in Pichia pastoris (2014)
Journal Article
Kirikyali, N., & Connerton, I. (2014). Heterologous expression and kinetic characterisation of Neurospora crassa ?-xylosidase in Pichia pastoris. Enzyme and Microbial Technology, 57, 63-68. doi:10.1016/j.enzmictec.2014.02.002

To degrade plant hemicelluloses fungi employ β-xylosidases to hydrolyse xylooligosaccharides, released by endo-xylanases, into xylose. We have expressed the β-xylosidase from Neurospora crassa in Pichia pastoris under the control of alcohol oxidase 1...
