Maximising electricity production by controlling the biofilm specific growth rate in microbial fuel cells (2012)
Journal Article

The aim of this work is to study the relationship between growth rate and electricity production in perfusion-electrode microbial fuel cells (MFCs), across a wide range of flow rates by co-measurement of electrical output and changes in population nu...

Microbial volatile compounds in health and disease conditions (2012)
Journal Article

Microbial cultures and/or microbial associated diseases often have a characteristic smell. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are produced by all microorganisms as part of their normal metabolism. The types and classes of VOC produced is wide, includi... Read More about Microbial volatile compounds in health and disease conditions.

Electrochemically activated solutions: Evidence for antimicrobial efficacy and applications in healthcare environments (2012)
Journal Article

Due to the limitations associated with the use of existing biocidal agents, there is a need to explore new methods of disinfection to help maintain effective bioburden control, especially within the healthcare environment. The transformation of low m... Read More about Electrochemically activated solutions: Evidence for antimicrobial efficacy and applications in healthcare environments.

Investigating a cascade of seven hydraulically connected microbial fuel cells (2012)
Journal Article

Seven miniature microbial fuel cells (MFCs) were hydraulically linked in sequence and operated in continuous-flow (cascade). Power output and treatment efficiency were investigated using varying organic loads, flow-rates and electrical configurations...

Effect of mouth-rinse formulations on oral malodour processes in tongue-derived perfusion biofilm model (2012)
Journal Article

An in vitro matrix biofilm perfusion model of tongue-derived microcosms for studying volatile sulfur compound (VSC) biogenesis has been previously described. The model was modified in order to monitor H 2 S in situ by use of a specialized electrode a...

Urine utilisation by microbial fuel cells; Energy fuel for the future (2012)
Journal Article

This communication reports for the first time the direct utilisation of urine in MFCs for the production of electricity. Different conversion efficiencies were recorded, depending on the amount treated. Elements such as N, P, K can be locked into new...

Microbial fuel cells for robotics: Energy autonomy through artificial symbiosis (2012)
Journal Article

The development of the microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology has seen an enormous growth over the last hundred years since its inception by Potter in 1911. The technology has reached a level of maturity that it is now considered to be a field in its o... Read More about Microbial fuel cells for robotics: Energy autonomy through artificial symbiosis.
