Journal Article
Clayton, G. E., Thorn, R., & Reynolds, D. (2021). The efficacy of chlorine-based disinfectants against planktonic and biofilm bacteria for decentralised point-of-use drinking water. npj Clean Water, 4(1), Article 48. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41545-021-00139-w

Chlorine solutions are used extensively for the production of biologically safe drinking water. The capability of point-of-use [POU] drinking water treatment systems has gained interest in locations where centralised treatment systems and distributio...

Real-time detection of volatile metabolites enabling species-level discrimination of bacterial biofilms associated with wound infection (2021)
Journal Article
Slade, E., Thorn, R., Young, A., & Reynolds, D. (2022). Real-time detection of volatile metabolites enabling species-level discrimination of bacterial biofilms associated with wound infection. Journal of Applied Microbiology, 132(3), 1558-1572. https://doi.org/10.1111/jam.15313

Aims: The main aim of this study was to investigate the real-time detection of volatile metabolites for the species-level discrimination of pathogens associated with clinically relevant wound infection, when grown in a collagen wound biofilm model. M... Read More about Real-time detection of volatile metabolites enabling species-level discrimination of bacterial biofilms associated with wound infection.

Laboratory in-situ production of autochthonous and allochthonous fluorescent organic matter by freshwater bacteria (2021)
Journal Article
Fox, B. G., Thorn, R. M. S., & Reynolds, D. M. (2021). Laboratory in-situ production of autochthonous and allochthonous fluorescent organic matter by freshwater bacteria. Microorganisms, 9(8), Article 1623. https://doi.org/10.3390/microorganisms9081623

This work investigates the origin and range of fluorescent organic matter (FOM) produced in-situ by environmentally sourced freshwater bacteria. Aquatic FOM is an essential component in global carbon cycling and is generally classified as either auto...
