Microbial volatile compounds in health and disease conditions (2012)
Journal Article
Thorn, R., & Greenman, J. (2012). Microbial volatile compounds in health and disease conditions. Journal of Breath Research, 6(2), 024001. https://doi.org/10.1088/1752-7155/6/2/024001

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
Lee, S. W., Thorn, R., Robinson, G., Greenman, J., & Reynolds, D. M. (2012). Electrochemically activated solutions: Evidence for antimicrobial efficacy and applications in healthcare environments. European Journal of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 31(5), 641-653. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10096-011-1369-9

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
