The genus Microcystis is responsible for many ‘nuisance’ and toxic algal blooms that threaten various fresh water bodies in Australia…
This project established unifying framework for the calculation of robustness metrics, which assists with understanding how robustness metrics work, when they should be used, and why they sometimes disagree…
Cyanobacterial blooms are a concern for water utilities due to the potential production of cyanotoxins and taste and odours…
Conventional activated sludge (CAS) has been widely used for biological nutrient removal in the secondary treatment stage of the wastewater process for well over 100 years…
This project will explore the applicability of molecular approaches for taxonomic studies and rapid identification of invertebrates in a variety of freshwater habitats. This project delivered proof of concept for using DNA barcoding to fill taxonomic knowledge gaps and identify cryptic species and has also successfully discovered new populations of the critically endangered Mt Donna Buang Wingless stonefly.
PhD Thesis underway by Edward Tsyrlin.
This project investigated Metabolomics-based applications (LC-MS and GC-MS) to advance cyanobacterial toxin detection and analysis in water to…
Viruses are responsible for more than 50% of all health-care associated gastroenteritis…
Detection of Algal and Cyanobacterial blooms have increased in lakes, rivers and reservoirs over the last two decades…
This project addressed major knowledge gaps regarding biological dynamics and solids behaviour in Als which lead to development of improved operating protocols, designed for efficient, stable and low-risk operation over the long term…
This project determined disinfection by product contribution from chlorination of algae…
