Bioaugmentation mitigates the impact of estrogen on coliform-grazing protozoa in slow sand filters
Haig, Sarah-Jane; Gauchotte-Lindsay, Caroline; Collins, Gavin; Quince, Christopher (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2016-03-15)Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), such as estrogens, is a growing issue for human and animal health as they have been shown to cause reproductive and developmental abnormalities in wildlife and plants and ... -
Bioreactor scalability: laboratory-scale bioreactor design influences performance, ecology, and community physiology in expanded granular sludge bed bioreactors
Connelly, Stephanie; Shin, Seung Gu; Dillon, Robert J.; Ijaz, Umer Zeeshan; Quince, Christopher; Sloan, William; Collins, Gavin (Frontiers Media, 2017)Studies investigating the feasibility of new, or improved, biotechnologies, such as wastewater treatment digesters, inevitably start with laboratory-scale trials. However, it is rarely determined whether laboratory-scale ... -

Desman: a new tool for de novo extraction of strains from metagenomes
Quince, Christopher; Delmont, Tom O.; Raguideau, Sébastien; Alneberg, Johannes; Darling, Aaron E.; Collins, Gavin; Eren, A. Murat (Springer Nature, 2017-09-21)We introduce DESMAN for De novo Extraction of Strains from Metagenomes. Large multi-sample metagenomes are being generated but strain variation results in fragmentary co-assemblies. Current algorithms can bin contigs into ... -
Linking microbial community structure and function during the acidified anaerobic digestion of grass
Joyce, Aoife; Ijaz, Umer Z.; Nzeteu, Corine; Vaughan, Aoife; Shirran, Sally L.; Botting, Catherine H.; Quince, Christopher; O’Flaherty, Vincent; Abram, Florence (Frontiers Media, 2018-03-21)Harvesting valuable bioproducts from various renewable feedstocks is necessary for the critical development of a sustainable bioeconomy. Anaerobic digestion is a well-established technology for the conversion of wastewater ... -

Stable-isotope probing and metagenomics reveal predation by protozoa drives e. coli removal in slow sand filters
Haig, Sarah-Jane; Schirmer, Melanie; D'Amore, Rosalinda; Gibbs, Joseph; Davies, Robert L; Collins, Gavin; Quince, Christopher (Springer Nature, 2014-10-03)Stable-isotope probing and metagenomics were applied to study samples taken from laboratory-scale slow sand filters 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 h after challenging with C-13-labelled Escherichia coli to determine the mechanisms and ... -
The relationship between microbial community evenness and function in slow sand filters
Haig, Sarah-Jane; Quince, Christopher; Davies, Robert L.; Dorea, Caetano C.; Collins, Gavin (American Society for Microbiology, 2015-10-13)Two full-scale slow sand filters (SSFs) were sampled periodically from April until November 2011 to study the spatial and temporal structures of the bacterial communities found in the filters. To monitor global changes in ...
