Mapping of Clustering, Partners, and Geographic Distribution of Biotech SME Clusters Across the UK: A Case Study

Kayimolufe Femi-Balogun, Sarbani Ghosh, Andrew Paul Clarke, N. Ferry

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to evaluate which universities spin out biotechnology SMEs, and why some do this successfully while others do not. The research question is: how do institutional, contextual, and geographic factors shape biotechnology spin-out activity among UK …

Bacterial community profiling and identification of bacteria with lignin-degrading potential in different gut segments of African palm weevil larvae (Rhynchophorus phoenicis)

Jessica L. Lenka, Enrique González-Tortuero, Shweta Kuba, N. Ferry

The microbiota within the guts of insects plays beneficial roles for their hosts, such as facilitating digestion and extracting energy from their diet. The African palm weevil (APW) lives within and feeds on the high lignin-containing trunk of palm trees; therefore, their …

Enhanced Activity and Stability of an Acetyl Xylan Esterase in Hydrophilic Alcohols through Site-Directed Mutagenesis

Henry Madubuike, N. Ferry

Current demands for the development of suitable biocatalysts showing high process performance is stimulated by the need to replace current chemical synthesis with cleaner alternatives. A drawback to the use of biocatalysts for unique applications is their low performance in industrial conditions. …

Characterisation of a Novel Acetyl Xylan Esterase (BaAXE) Screened from the Gut Microbiota of the Common Black Slug (Arion ater)

Henry Madubuike, N. Ferry

Acetyl xylan esterases (AXEs) are enzymes capable of hydrolysing the acetyl bonds in acetylated xylan, allowing for enhanced activity of backbone-depolymerizing enzymes. Bioprospecting novel AXE is essential in designing enzyme cocktails with desired characteristics targeting the complete breakdown of lignocellulose. In this …

Fungal microbiomes are determined by host phylogeny and exhibit widespread associations with the bacterial microbiome

Xavier A. Harrison, Allan D. McDevitt, Jenny C. Dunn, Sarah M. Griffiths et autres

Interactions between hosts and their resident microbial communities are a fundamental component of fitness for both agents. Though recent research has highlighted the importance of interactions between animals and their bacterial communities, comparative evidence for fungi is lacking, especially in natural populations. …

Characterization of Sialic Acid Affinity of the Binding Domain of Mistletoe Lectin Isoform One

Soran Mohammed, N. Ferry

Sialic acid (Sia) is considered as one of the most important biomolecules of life since its derivatives and terminal orientations on cell membranes and macromolecules play a major role in many biological and pathological processes. To date, there is only a limited …

Phytochemical Composition and Antimicrobial Activity of African Walnut (Tetracarpidium conophorum) Oil on Selected Microorganisms Causing Human Skin Infections

O. D. Yangomodou, Olorunfunmi Isimioluwa Solana, G. B. Ogungbayi, N. Ferry

The development of antibiotic-resistant pathogenic strains due to the indiscriminate use of antibiotics has led to search for the use of novel natural antimicrobials in the treatment of human skin infections. The qualitative phytochemical screening and subsequent quantification revealed the presence of …

Metagenomic Analysis of the Gut Microbiome of the Common Black Slug Arion ater in Search of Novel Lignocellulose Degrading Enzymes

Ryan Joynson, Leighton Pritchard, Ekenakema Osemwekha, N. Ferry

Some eukaryotes are able to gain access to well-protected carbon sources in plant biomass by exploiting microorganisms in the environment or harboured in their digestive system. One is the land pulmonate Arion ater, which takes advantage of a gut microbial consortium that …
