@CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellow researching plastic munching microbiomes for biorecycling in a circular economy. Views expressed here are my own. Perth, Western AustraliaJoined January 2021
🌊 Don’t miss @bronwyncc discussing the genetic potential for plastic biodegradation in industrial wastewater biotreatment microbiomes! Learn how these microbes can help tackle plastic pollution. #MicroSeq2024#Metagenomics#Bioremediation
💻 Tune in to @BhavyaPapudeshi’s presentation on Sphae, a toolkit for identifying #PhageTherapy candidates from #sequencing data! Learn how this workflow streamlines phage characterization for therapeutic use. #MicroSeq2024#Bioinformatics
Microbes play a role in transforming coal to methane. @bronwyncc shows 4 taxa identified via metagenomics, with genetic potential for metabolising complex carbon in coal. Implications for industrial methane stimulation and bioremediation of organic pollutants #MicroSeq2023
Could microbes help us defeat plastic waste? 🦠
We have a big plastic waste problem. Only 9% of plastic produced and used worldwide each year is recycled.
We're investigating using the biorecycling powers of microbes to manage our plastic waste. spr.ly/60103uqU2
Belated paper post (and it's free to read):
In underground coal seams, a diverse range of methane-producing microbes were identified using online data. Then, we inferred what they're probably consuming in the different coal seams when they make methane.

I hope to see you there :)
When you think of photosynthesis you might think of green plants producing oxygen, but today we’re looking at a purple bacteria that photosynthesizes and smells like rotten eggs.

My article today in The Conversation highlights the recent devastating cuts to Earth Science in Australian universities and how both government policies and university choices are to blame. theconversation.com/australia-badl… via @ConversationEDU
First paper from my PhD came out a few weeks ago. We grew microbes from coal seams on ten different organic compounds, in order to see which microbes degrade which compounds.
More papers coming soon!
