Landfill leachate treatment with microbial fuel cells; scale-up through plurality (2009)
Journal Article
Gálvez, A., Greenman, J., & Ieropoulos, I. (2009). Landfill leachate treatment with microbial fuel cells; scale-up through plurality. Bioresource Technology, 100(21), 5085-5091. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biortech.2009.05.061

Three Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) were fluidically connected in series, with a single feed-line going into the 1st column through the 2nd column and finally as a single outflow coming from the 3rd column. Provision was also made for re-circulation in... Read More about Landfill leachate treatment with microbial fuel cells; scale-up through plurality.

Electricity from landfill leachate using microbial fuel cells: Comparison with a biological aerated filter (2009)
Journal Article
Gálvez, A., Greenman, J., Giusti, L., & Ieropoulos, I. (2009). Electricity from landfill leachate using microbial fuel cells: Comparison with a biological aerated filter. Enzyme and Microbial Technology, 44(2), 112-119. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enzmictec.2008.09.012

Four experimental columns were employed in this study to investigate their performance under wastewater treatment conditions. One column was set-up as a biological aerated filter and the remaining three were set-up as microbial fuel cells (MFCs), two...

Effects of chlorhexidine on a tongue-flora microcosm and VSC production using an in vitro biofilm perfusion model (2008)
Journal Article
Greenman, J., McKenzie, C., Saad, S., Wiegand, B., & Zguris, J. C. (2008). Effects of chlorhexidine on a tongue-flora microcosm and VSC production using an in vitro biofilm perfusion model. Journal of Breath Research, 2(4), 046005. https://doi.org/10.1088/1752-7155/2/4/046005

An in vitro perfusion biofilm model, derived from tongue-scrape microflora removed from one individual, was employed to study sulfide biogenesis and the effects of repeated exposure to chlorhexidine (CHX). Volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) were measure... Read More about Effects of chlorhexidine on a tongue-flora microcosm and VSC production using an in vitro biofilm perfusion model.

Microbial fuel cells based on carbon veil electrodes: Stack configuration and scalability (2008)
Journal Article

Tongue biofilm areal density and tongue coating index (2008)
Journal Article
Saad, S., & Greenman, J. (2008). Tongue biofilm areal density and tongue coating index. Journal of Breath Research, 2(1), https://doi.org/10.1088/1752-7155/2/1/017008

Two methods have been employed to measure the amount of tongue biofilm in humans: (1) areal density of microbes (cfu cm-2) (tongue scrape from a known/measured area), or (2) a tongue-coating index, where a human judge assesses the amount of 'coating'...

Modelling oral malodour from a tongue biofilm (2008)
Journal Article
Hess, J., Greenman, J., & Duffield, J. (2008). Modelling oral malodour from a tongue biofilm. Journal of Breath Research, 2(1), 017003. https://doi.org/10.1088/1752-7155/2/1/017003

A new model about the genesis of malodour emanating from the tongue is introduced. A new approach uses mathematical formulae to combine existing empirical knowledge and bring it into context. The resulting description of halitosis includes the three-... Read More about Modelling oral malodour from a tongue biofilm.

Artificial gills for robots: MFC behaviour in water (2007)
Journal Article
Ieropoulos, I., Melhuish, C., & Greenman, J. (2007). Artificial gills for robots: MFC behaviour in water. Bioinspiration and Biomimetics, 2(3), S83. https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-3182/2/3/S02

This paper reports on the first stage in developing microbial fuel cells (MFCs) which can operate underwater by utilizing dissolved oxygen. In this context, the cathodic half-cell is likened to an artificial gill. Such an underwater power generator h... Read More about Artificial gills for robots: MFC behaviour in water.
