Journal Article
Ghaffar, N. M., Connerton, P. L., & Connerton, I. F. (2015). Filamentation of Campylobacter in broth cultures. Frontiers in Microbiology, 6(657), https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2015.00657

The transition from rod to filamentous cell morphology has been identified as a response to stressful conditions in many bacterial species and has been ascribed to confer certain survival advantages. Filamentation of Campylobacter jejuni was demonstr... Read More about Filamentation of Campylobacter in broth cultures.

Host adaption to the bacteriophage carrier state of Campylobacter jejuni (2015)
Journal Article
Brathwaite, K. J., Siringan, P., Connerton, P. L., & Connerton, I. F. (2015). Host adaption to the bacteriophage carrier state of Campylobacter jejuni. Research in Microbiology, 166(6), 504-515. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.resmic.2015.05.003

The carrier state of the foodborne pathogen Campylobacter jejuni represents an alternative life cycle whereby virulent bacteriophage can persistent in association with host bacteria without commitment to lysogeny. Host bacteria exhibit significant ph... Read More about Host adaption to the bacteriophage carrier state of Campylobacter jejuni.

Xylan degrading enzymes from fungal sources (2015)
Journal Article
Kirikyali, N., & Connerton, I. F. (2015). Xylan degrading enzymes from fungal sources. Journal of Biocatalysis and Biotransformation, 4(1), Article 118. https://doi.org/10.4172/10.4172/jpe.1000118

Fungi have the ability to degrade xylan as the major component of plant cell wall hemicellulose. Fungi have evolved batteries of xylanolytic enzymes that concertedly act to depolymerise xylan backbones decorated with variable carbohydrate branches. A...

Campylobacter jejuni acquire new host-derived CRISPR spacers when in association with bacteriophages harboring a CRISPR-like Cas4 protein (2015)
Journal Article
Hooton, S. P., & Connerton, I. F. (2015). Campylobacter jejuni acquire new host-derived CRISPR spacers when in association with bacteriophages harboring a CRISPR-like Cas4 protein. Frontiers in Microbiology, 5(744), https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2014.00744

Campylobacter jejuni is a worldwide cause of human diarrhoeal disease. Clustered Repetitively Interspaced Palindromic Repeats (CRISPRs) and associated proteins allow Bacteria and Archaea to evade bacteriophage and plasmid infection. Type II CRISPR sy...
