Overview

James Borneman is affiliated with the University of California, Riverside in the United States. Their research spans several domains within biology and medicine, with a primary focus on the interactions between microbiota, host organisms, and disease environments.

Borneman's published work often addresses the complex dynamics of microbiomes in response to physiological and environmental challenges. Some notable recent papers include:

  • Disease-Induced Microbial Shifts in Citrus Indicate Microbiome-Derived Responses to Huanglongbing Across the Disease Severity Spectrum (2020, Phytobiomes Journal)
  • High Levels of Oxidative Stress Create a Microenvironment That Significantly Decreases the Diversity of the Microbiota in Diabetic Chronic Wounds and Promotes Biofilm Formation (2020, Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology)
  • Early-life effects of juvenile Western diet and exercise on adult gut microbiome composition in mice (2021, Journal of Experimental Biology)
  • An In Vitro Pipeline for Screening and Selection of Citrus-Associated Microbiota with Potential Anti-"Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus" Properties (2020, Applied and Environmental Microbiology)
  • Linking metabolic phenotypes to pathogenic traits among "Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus" and its hosts (2020, npj Systems Biology and Applications)

The body of work reflects a strong emphasis on microbiome research related to plant and animal health, microbial ecology in chronic diseases, and metabolic and pathogenic trait linkages in microorganisms.
