Antibiotics in agriculture - Assessing the impacts of wastewater irrigation on soil health, antimicrobial resistance and crop production

University of York
Department of Environment and Geography

Dr S Toet, Prof A Boxall, Dr A Singer

Application Deadline: 9 January 2019

Why is this project important?. Large amounts of antibiotics are used globally for human and animal treatment. These substances are released to agricultural soils directly through animal excreta, via manure or sewage sludge when applied as fertiliser, and by irrigation of wastewater.

Engineering lipoglycopeptide biosynthesis to produce new antibiotics

University of Leeds
Faculty of Biological Sciences

Research Group: BBSRC White Rose DTP

Dr R Seipke, Dr G.R. Hemsworth, Dr M E Webb

Application Deadline: 7 January 2019

There is an urgent need for new antibiotics to combat antimicrobial resistance. Most antibiotics originate from Streptomyces bacteria, however the low hanging fruit from this resource has been picked.

Regulation of ribosome modification as a means to enhance anti-fungal antibiotic efficacy

Newcastle University
Institute for Cell and Molecular Biosciences

Dr N Watkins

Application Deadline: 11 January 2019

10-20% of worldwide food, from reduced harvest and post-harvest food spoilage, is lost due to fungal contamination. Food loss is due to contamination with mycotoxins such as aflatoxins, which are potent carcinogens and cause severe liver damage.

Tracking bacterial porin switching

University College London
The London Interdisciplinary Biosciences Consortium (LIDo)

Dr G Wagner, Dr S Barry

Application Deadline: 11 January 2019

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the major healthcare challenges of the 21st century. It has been estimated that AMR will lead to >10 million deaths per year and >100 trillion USD in lost economic output by 2050, if no immediate action is taken [1].
