Source & Catchments

Implications for enumeration, toxicity and bloom formation: ‘Are there more toxin genes than toxic cyanobacteria’?

Blue-green algae reduce water quality, especially when they produce toxins…

Human & Environmental Health Impacts

Management of Environmental E. coli

E. coli bacteria naturally populate the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals; they are usually harmless and are commonly excreted…

Networks & Treatment

On-line monitoring of Cyanobacteria to predict coagulant doses and powdered activated carbon application in water treatment

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…

Source & Catchments

Bad tastes, odours and toxins in our drinking water reservoirs: Are benthic cyanobacteria the culprits?

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…

Human & Environmental Health Impacts

Tool box development for microbial source tracking water sources and catchments

‘Microbial source tracking’ (MST) is a technique that aims to identify the animal that excreted faeces and polluted water…

Human & Environmental Health Impacts

Template A rapid, reliable and effective tool for assessing toxic ‘algal’ blooms in Vic water supplies – MT-PCR

Blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) blooms decrease water quality by releasing toxins and unpalatable taste and odour compounds…

Source & Catchments

Literature Review: Crypto/Giardia in catchments

Cryptosporidium, a microscopic single-cell parasite, forms an “oocyst” with a resistant outer layer analogous to an eggshell…
