Activated sludge foaming: The true extent of actinomycete diversity (1998)
Journal Article
Goodfellow, M., Stainsby, F., Davenport, R., Chun, J., & Curtis, T. (1998). Activated sludge foaming: The true extent of actinomycete diversity. Water Science and Technology, 37(4-5), 511-519. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0273-1223%2898%2900153-x

Isolates from activated sludge foam were provisionally assigned to the genera Gordona and Tsukamurella on the basis of colony morphology and pigmentation. Representatives of the first group were compared with marker strains of validly described speci... Read More about Activated sludge foaming: The true extent of actinomycete diversity.

Strains of Glycopeptide-Resistant Enterococcus faecium Can Alter Their van Genotypes during an Outbreak (1997)
Journal Article
Woodford, N., Chadwick, P. R., Morrison, D., & Cookson, B. D. (1997). Strains of Glycopeptide-Resistant Enterococcus faecium Can Alter Their van Genotypes during an Outbreak. Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 35(11), 2966-2968

Two isolates of Enterococcus faecium with VanA glycopeptide resistance were isolated during a hospital outbreak of E. faecium with plasmid-mediated VanB resistance. Both were found to be identical to the VanB outbreak strain by pulsed-field gel elect...

Factors affecting silver biosorption by an industrial strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (1996)
Journal Article
Singleton, I., & Simmons, P. (1996). Factors affecting silver biosorption by an industrial strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Journal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology, 65(1), 21-28. https://doi.org/10.1002/%28SICI%291097-4660%28199601%2965%3A13.0.CO%3B2-E

Factors affecting silver biosorption by Saccharomyces cerevisiae biomass, obtained as a waste product from industry, were examined. Maximum removal of silver from solution was achieved within 5 min. Increasing the concentration of biomass in experime... Read More about Factors affecting silver biosorption by an industrial strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Metal cation uptake by yeast: a review (1995)
Journal Article
Blackwell, K. J., Singleton, I., & Tobin, J. M. (1995). Metal cation uptake by yeast: a review. Applied microbiology and biotechnology, 43(4), 579-584. https://doi.org/10.1007/s002530050454

This review addresses metal uptake specifically by yeast. Metal uptake may be passive, active or both, depending on the viability of the biomass, and is influenced by a number of environmental and experimental factors. Uptake is typically accompanied...

Microbial metabolism of xenobiotics: Fundamental and applied research (1994)
Journal Article
Singleton, I. (1994). Microbial metabolism of xenobiotics: Fundamental and applied research. Journal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology, 59(1), 9-23. https://doi.org/10.1002/jctb.280590104

The ability of microorganisms to metabolise xenobiotic compounds has received much attention due to the environmental persistence and toxicity of these chemicals. The microbial degradation of xenobiotics is seen as a cost effective method of removing... Read More about Microbial metabolism of xenobiotics: Fundamental and applied research.
