• Flow Cytometric Analysis of Bacterial Protein Synthesis: Monitoring Vitality After Water Treatment 

      Lindivat, Mathilde; Bratbak, Gunnar; Larsen, Aud; Hess-Erga, Ole-Kristian; Hoell, Ingunn Alne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Bacterial vitality after water disinfection treatment was investigated using bio-orthogonal non-canonical amino acid tagging (BONCAT) and flow cytometry (FCM). Protein synthesis activity and DNA integrity (BONCAT–SYBR ...
    • Functional associations and resilience in microbial communities 

      Ávila-Jimenéz, Maria Luisa; Burns, Gavin; He, Zhili; Zhou, Jizhong; Hodson, Andrew; Avila-Jimenez, Jose-Luis; Pearce, David A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Microbial communities have inherently high levels of metabolic flexibility and functional redundancy, yet the structure of microbial communities can change rapidly with environmental perturbation. To understand whether ...
    • Spatial Variability of Antarctic Surface Snow Bacterial Communities 

      Malard, Lucie A.; Sabacka, Marie; Magiopoulos, Iordanis; Mowlem, Matt C.; Hodson, Andrew J.; Tranter, Martyn; Siegert, Martin J.; Pearce, David A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      It was once a long-held view that the Antarctic was a pristine environment with low biomass, low biodiversity and low rates of microbial activity. However, as the intensity of scientific investigation has increased, so ...
