Analysis of the gut microbiome of the common black slug Arion ater : in search of novel lignocellulose degrading enzymes
Thesis
Joynson, R. (in press). Analysis of the gut microbiome of the common black slug Arion ater : in search of novel lignocellulose degrading enzymes. (Thesis). University of Salford

Some eukaryotes are able to gain access to otherwise well-protected carbon sources in plant biomass by exploiting microorganisms in the environment, or harboured in their digestive system. One such organism is the European black slug, Arion ater, whi...

In this research Giles utilises photography to highlight the cultural importance and significance of piers as part of our built heritage and to further our appreciation of them as physical constructs for the formulation of private and public memory.... Read More about Time & tide.

An investigation into the diversity of genes of the innate immune system in the European Badger (Meles meles) and possible associations with trypanosome infection
Thesis
Whiteoak, A. (in press). An investigation into the diversity of genes of the innate immune system in the European Badger (Meles meles) and possible associations with trypanosome infection. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Toll-like receptor (TLR) genes encode for conserved proteins of the innate immune system which trigger pathways in response to pathogen invasion by recognising molecules essential for endoparasite survival. An endoparasite lives within the host and r...
