Water treatment plant operators remove cyanobacteria and the toxins they produce from source waters but calculating the amount of treatment needed for effective removal is difficult, particularly in bloom conditions when cyanobacterial cell numbers and toxins change quickly…
Blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) reduce water quality especially when they bloom and form high numbers of cells which produce toxins, and taste and odour compounds…
Blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) blooms decrease water quality by releasing toxins and unpalatable taste and odour compounds…
Cyanobacterial blooms in surface waters are a source of cells, taste and odour compounds, and a range of toxins…
Cyanobacterial blooms are a major problem for reservoir managers because of the large numbers of cells and the toxins they contain…
This research has provided the most comprehensive account of the geographical distribution of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria), and the toxins they produce, in Australia…
The filters in some water treatment plants have a biofilm of bacteria which degrades and removes cyanotoxins…
Cyanobacteria are blue-green algae that can bloom and grow to the extent that their green-coloured cells are visible both within and on top of water bodies…
Blue-green algae are a nuisance, especially when they bloom and grow to high numbers in water storages and reservoirs…
Cyanobacteria and actinobacteria inhabit natural water sources. When they bloom, their very high numbers reduce water quality…
