Blogging about those twisty bacteria known as spirochetes. Tuesday, December 30, 2014. Has been mapping genetic variants that make laboratory mice prone to severe Lyme arthritis. One of these variants is described in a paper. The Journal of Clinical Investigation. The affected gene encodes the enzyme β-glucuronidase, which carries out a critical function in the lysosome. The key to the study was having strains of mice that differed in their susce.
Comment on microbial happenings and developments. Tuesday, 17 June 2014. Well, we appear to be back almost by popular demand! Hello Folks - it has been a fair while but we are back! Several people have asked where they can see the public engagement work I do and the comments to media. Well if you come to this blog you will see the comments and work I do. It is not all there yet but I have made a start. Hope you find it useful. Tuesday 17 June, 2014.

Research advances by scientists here at the Microbial Sciences Building will enable biotechnologists to develop drugs with a high degree of specificity, new antibiotics and vaccines, specialty chemicals, and natural products such as flavorings. Work with genetically engineered microbes is enabling the conversion of sunlight and waste materials into useful products like hydrogen or biodegradable plastics, to inactivate environmental toxins, and to reduce the level of greenhouse gases in the environment.
