Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Wenjun Deng's research investigates the persistence and transfer of foodborne pathogens in agricultural production systems, particularly in microgreen cultivation. Studies have examined the survival of human norovirus surrogates on microgreen varieties and the impact of production matrices on pathogen transfer. Deng has also explored the interactions of microorganisms within plant phyllospheres, considering the context of human norovirus presence. Further research has focused on identifying nematicidal compounds from microorganisms, such as Lysinimonas M4, to combat the pine wood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. Additionally, Deng has investigated the potential of probiotics to limit foodborne Campylobacter in poultry. Their work includes analyzing the genetic regulation of nematode reproduction and the interaction of microbes within plant environments.
