Project Description

Anabaena circinalis, is a commonly occurring cyanobacterial species in Australian source waters. Its presence poses a number of health and aesthetic issues for drinking water quality due to its production of secondary metabolites. This project isolated and characterised a novel toxic fraction from the Anabaena culture.

Honours Thesis completed by Stefania Sotora in November 2012.

Project Description

This project proposes to use novel concepts in computational chemistry to predict the likely transformation products (TP) of relevant EDCs/PPCPs with a range of disinfection and oxidation options (such as chlorine, chloramines and chlorine dioxide) commonly used in the production of drinking water, and to apply comprehensive in vitro toxicity testing to determine their likely toxicity profile.
