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...

A suggested classification for two groups of Campylobacter myoviruses (2013)
Journal Article
Javed, M. A., Ackermann, H., Azeredo, J., Carvalho, C. M., Connerton, I., Evoy, S., …Kropinski, A. M. (2014). A suggested classification for two groups of Campylobacter myoviruses. Archives of Virology, 159(1), 181-190. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00705-013-1788-2

Most Campylobacter bacteriophages isolated to date have long contractile tails and belong to the family Myoviridae. Based on their morphology, genome size and endonuclease restriction profile, Campylobacter phages were originally divided into three g...

Carbohydrate binding and gene expression by in vitro and in vivo propagated Campylobacter jejuni after Immunomagnetic Separation (2012)
Journal Article
King, R. M., Day, C. J., Hartley-Tassell, L. E., Connerton, I. F., Tiralongo, J., Mcguckin, M. A., & Korolik, V. (2012). Carbohydrate binding and gene expression by in vitro and in vivo propagated Campylobacter jejuni after Immunomagnetic Separation. Journal of Basic Microbiology, 53(3), 240-250. https://doi.org/10.1002/jobm.201100466

Campylobacter jejuni is an important human food-borne intestinal pathogen, however relatively little is known about its mechanisms of pathogenesis or pathogen-host interactions. To monitor changes in gene expression and glycan binding of C. jejuni wi...

Bacteriophage therapy to reduce Campylobacter jejuni colonization of broiler chickens (2005)
Journal Article
Loc Carrillo, C., Atterbury, R. J., El-Shibiny, A., Connerton, P. L., Dillon, E., Scott, A., & Connerton, I. F. (2005). Bacteriophage therapy to reduce Campylobacter jejuni colonization of broiler chickens. Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 71(11), https://doi.org/10.1128/AEM.71.11.6554-6563.2005

Colonization of broiler chickens by the enteric pathogen Campylobacter jejuni is widespread and difficult to prevent. Bacteriophage therapy is one possible means by which this colonization could be controlled, thus limiting the entry of campylobacter...
