Selected Publications


Predictive values of time-dense SARS-CoV-2 wastewater analysis in university campus buildings.

Journal Article The Science of the total environment · August 2022 Wastewater-based SARS-CoV-2 surveillance on college campuses has the ability to detect individual clinical COVID-19 cases at the building-level. High concordance of wastewater results and clinical cases has been observed when calculated over a time window ... Full text Cite

Identifying bioaugmentation candidates for bioremediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in contaminated estuarine sediment of the Elizabeth River, VA, USA.

Journal Article Applied microbiology and biotechnology · February 2022 Estuarine sediments near former creosoting facilities along the Elizabeth River (Virginia, USA) are contaminated by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). In this study, we interrogated the bacterial community of the Elizabeth River with both culture-bas ... Full text Cite

The role of gut microbial community and metabolomic shifts in adaptive resistance of Atlantic killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Journal Article The Science of the total environment · July 2021 Altered gut microbiomes may play a role in rapid evolution to anthropogenic change but remain poorly understood. Atlantic killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) in the Elizabeth River, VA have evolved resistance to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and pr ... Full text Cite

Polyphasic characterization of four soil-derived phenanthrene-degrading Acidovorax strains and proposal of Acidovorax carolinensis sp. nov.

Journal Article Systematic and applied microbiology · September 2018 Four bacterial strains identified as members of the Acidovorax genus were isolated from two geographically distinct but similarly contaminated soils in North Carolina, USA, characterized, and their genomes sequenced. Their 16S rRNA genes were highly simila ... Full text Cite

Complete Genome Sequence of a Bacterium Representing a Deep Uncultivated Lineage within the Gammaproteobacteria Associated with the Degradation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Journal Article Genome Announcements · October 27, 2016 ABSTRACT The bacterial strain TR3.2, representing a novel deeply branching lineage within the Gammaproteobacteria , was isolated and its genome seque ... Full text Cite

Complete Genome Sequence of a Novel Bacterium within the Family Rhodocyclaceae That Degrades Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Journal Article Genome Announcements · April 30, 2015 ABSTRACT A polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium designated strain Ca6, a member of the family Rhodocyclaceae and a representative of t ... Full text Cite
