The contribution of ingredient glycosylation and milk glycoproteins to infant milk formulations and bacterial microbiome activity
(NUI Galway, 2023-08-16)Infant milk formula (IMF) is a food that has a specific purpose in the feeding of infants at different stages of their development. It is modelled on human milk, which contains a number of unique ingredients to ensure ... -
Functional screening of human faecal microbiome metagenome library for glycoside hydrolase enzymes
(NUI Galway, 2020-04-24)Members of the human gut microbiota use glycoside hydrolase (GH) enzymes, such as sialidases, α-fucosidases and β-galactosidases to forage on host mucin glycans and dietary fibers. A human faecal metagenomic library was ... -
Glycobiology of commensal bacteria with emphasis on cell surface adhesins and exopolysaccharides
(2014-09-25)The human gastro-intestinal tract (GIT) is an elaborate ecosystem specific to an individual and his physiological stage that involves inter- and intra-relationships between the bacteria composing the microbiota and between ... -
Mining milk for factors which modulate host-microbial interactions in vitro
(NUI Galway, 2021-02-03)Human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) have been reported to increase the adhesion of Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis ATCC 15697 (B. infantis ATCC 15697) to human colonic adenocarcinoma, HT-29 cells. In this thesis, ...
