Translation of plasma technology from the lab to the food industry (2017)
Journal Article

The potential of cold plasma as a food processing aid has been demonstrated for a range of processes and products. The potential applications of plasma technology are extensive and include: microbial decontamination, pest control, toxin elimination,...

The bio-physics of condensation of divalent cations into the bacterial wall has implications for growth of Gram-positive bacteria (2016)
Journal Article

Background: The anionic-polyelectrolyte nature of the wall of Gram-positive bacteria has long been suspected to be involved in homeostasis of essential cations and bacterial growth. A better understanding of the coupling between the biophysics and th...

Palimpsest: improving assisted curation of loco-specific literature (2016)
Journal Article

Text mining and information visualization techniques applied to large-scale historical and literary document collections have enabled new types of humanities research. The assumption behind such efforts is often that trends will emerge from the analy... Read More about Palimpsest: improving assisted curation of loco-specific literature.

Streptococcus uberis strains isolated from the bovine mammary gland evade immune recognition by mammary epithelial cells, but not of macrophages (2016)
Journal Article
Günther, J., Czabanska, A., Bauer, I., Leigh, J. A., Holst, O., & Seyfert, H.-M. (2016). Streptococcus uberis strains isolated from the bovine mammary gland evade immune recognition by mammary epithelial cells, but not of macrophages. Veterinary Research, 47(13), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13567-015-0287-8

Streptococcus uberis is frequently isolated from the mammary gland of dairy cattle. Infection with some strains can induce mild subclinical inflammation whilst others induce severe inflammation and clinical mastitis. We compared here the inflammatory...

Theoretical evaluation of wall teichoic acids in the cavitation-mediated pores formation in Gram-positive bacteria subjected to an electric field (2014)
Journal Article
Rauch, C., & Leigh, J. A. (in press). Theoretical evaluation of wall teichoic acids in the cavitation-mediated pores formation in Gram-positive bacteria subjected to an electric field. BBA - General Subjects, 1850(4), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbagen.2014.12.004

Background: Electroporation is a method of choice to transform living cells. The ability of electroporation to transfer small or large chemicals across the lipid bilayer membrane of eukaryotic cells or Gram-negative bacteria relies on the formation o...

Insight into lithium transport in lithium nitridometallate battery materials from muon spin relaxation (2013)
Journal Article

Muon spin relaxation and powder neutron diffraction have been combined to study three lithium cobalt nitride battery materials. Neutron diffraction shows that these retain the P6/mmm space group of Li3N with Co located only on Li(1) sites. The lattic...
