Investigating change in toxic algae in Scottish coastal waters
Toxin-producing algae naturally occur in Scottish coastal waters. Despite decades of research into harmful algal blooms (HABs), the environmental drivers remain uncertain and inconclusive. Further understanding and knowledge of the relationships between environmental variables and HAB occurrence …

Predicting estuarine algal blooms using artificial neural networks
Algae proliferate when favourable biological, chemical and physical conditions are present. This study uses data from the Berowra Estuary a tributary of the Hawkesbury River, NSW. Algal blooms in this estuary are a regular feature of seasonal cycles and develop in response to non-periodic …

Recognition of Cations and Anions by Lanthanide Complexes
… cancer. Environmentally, free heavy metals are toxic to aquatic life and anions necessary for growth and development accumulate to form nutrient rich waterways that induce toxic algae blooms. Our understanding of the physiological role and impact of each of the physiologically relevant …

Gene discovery and expression profiling in the toxin-producing marine diatom, Pseudo-nitzschia multiseries (Hasle) Hasle
Toxic algae are a growing concern in the marine environment. One unique marine diatom, Pseudo-nitzschia multiseries (Hasle) Hasle, produces the neurotoxin domoic acid, which is the cause of amnesic shellfish poisoning. The molecular characterization of this organism has been limited to date. …

Harmful algae, algal toxin, taste and odor control and mitigation in public water system
… for drinking water plants due to the ability of toxic algae (cyanobacteria) to produce cyanotoxins including microcystins (MCs), mainly MC-LR, cylindrospermopsin (CYN), and taste and odor (T&O) compounds. Various types of chemicals are widely used in drinking water treatment plants as oxidants …
