In Australia, toxic algal blooms have had a devastating impact on marine and freshwater resources. In collaboration with a biotechnology company, this project will develop exciting new methods based on information regarding the genetics of the toxin, to monitor and potentially mitigate the effects of algal blooms on water supplies and aquaculture industries. We will use this method to determine the impact of light and salinity in regulating toxin production in cyanobacteria and algae.

在澳大利亚，有毒的藻华对海洋和淡水资源造成了毁灭性的影响。该项目将与一家生物技术公司合作，根据有关毒素遗传的信息，开发令人兴奋的新方法，以监测并可能减轻藻华对供水和水产养殖业的影响。我们将使用这种方法来确定光和盐度对调节蓝藻和藻类毒素产生的影响。
