curriculum vitae

ASM Abstract, 2008

 

Cameron's research focuses on anaerobic oxidation of solid phase electron donors, including solid-phase iron (II) minerals, uraninite, and cathodic working electrodes. His work has included the design and testing of bioelectrical reactors (BERs) for perchlorate reduction, isolation and characterization of organisms from the BER environment, as well as isolation of organisms capable of solid-phase oxidation of minerals coupled to perchlorate reduction. Current projects focus on understanding the biochemical mechanisms of aneaerobic, solid-phase electron donor oxidation by pure cultures.

Kelly Wrighton, Ph.D. Candidate

e-mail: kwrighton@berkeley.edu

 

Kelly's work aims to explore to the microbiology of Microbial Fuel Cells. Using molecular community analysis techniques as well as traditional physiology experiments, her work focuses on understanding the nature of microbial community dynamics on the electrode surface with the eventual goal of elucidating the mechanisms of electron transfer to electrodes and increasing power generation.
