Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs) and the associated hepatotoxins produced (e.g. microcystins, MCs) create a significant human health risk in freshwater lakes around the world. Microbial degradation has shown to be the most viable solution to MC removal due to it being safer, more…

Terrestrial environments provide important nutrients, such as phosphorus, to the freshwater tributaries that surround them. Despite current reduction efforts set out by agencies, there is still sufficient phosphorus loading discharged to freshwater systems inducing anthropogenically accelerated eutrophication. One method of phosphorus loading generates from…
