A novel in vitro flat-bed perfusion biofilm model for determining the potential antimicrobial efficacy of topical wound treatments (2009)
Journal Article

Aims: To develop an in vitro flat-bed perfusion biofilm model that could be used to determine the antimicrobial efficacy of topically applied treatments. Methods and Results: Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus biofilms were grown within...

Landfill leachate treatment with microbial fuel cells; scale-up through plurality (2009)
Journal Article

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

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

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.

Biological computing using perfusion anodophile biofilm electrodes (PABE) (2008)
Journal Article

This paper presents a theoretical approach to biological computing, using biofilm electrodes by illustrating a simplified Pavlovian learning model. The theory behind this approach was based on empirical data produced from a prototype version of these... Read More about Biological computing using perfusion anodophile biofilm electrodes (PABE).

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

The aim of this study was to compare the performance of three different sizes of microbial fuel cell (MFC) when operated under continuous flow conditions using acetate as the fuel substrate and show how small-scale multiple units may be best configur...

Tongue biofilm areal density and tongue coating index (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

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)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

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.

In vitro biofilm model for studying tongue flora and malodour (2007)
Journal Article

Aims: To develop a perfusion biofilm system to model tongue biofilm microflora and their physiological response to sulfur-containing substrates (S-substrates) in terms of volatile sulfide compound (VSC) production. Methods and Results: Tongue-scrape... Read More about In vitro biofilm model for studying tongue flora and malodour.
