Professor James McDonald

Additional Contact Information

James McDonald is Professor of microbial ecology at 鶹.

Current research themes include microbiome analysis of biomass-degrading microorganisms for biofuels and biotechnology, high-throughput methods for the detection of human pathogens in aquatic environments, and microbiome analysis of the complex tree disease, Acute Oak Decline.

His group applies a combination of microbiological culture techniques and contemporary ‘omics’ technologies (e.g. genomics, metagenomics, metatranscriptomics and metaproteomics) to address these research themes.

Activities

2022

  • The overarching aim of this application is to build on our current work on the EU SYNBIOGAS project which is developing engineered microbial communities to enhance waste biomass conversion to biomass. This proposal, which will fund additional plant-scale bioaugmentation of anaerobic digestion processes and techno-economic assessment of the bioprocess, enables us to increase our research activity at TRL6 and build a roadmap for technology adoption by our industrial partners. The project will facilitate applications for follow-on-funding, generate REF-relevant impact and provide possibilities for commercialisation. The project aligns directly with the University’s Strategy 2030 and the RWIF strategic priorities. 

    Funding awarded through the 鶹 Innovation and Impact Award (Research Wales Innovation Funding). Value = £42,055
