Cyanobacterial blooms in wastewater treatment plants impact on effluent quality and the utility of recycled water, posing a significant risk to the economy, the environment and public health. To understand the causes of cyanobacterial blooms in pond-based wastewater treatment plants and the risk they pose, this project will use the latest molecular techniques to examine how the microbial communities within these systems interact with each other and their surrounding environment to form blooms and produce toxins and other harmful metabolites. Such knowledge will inform risk assessment and provide strategies for the mitigation of future bloom events, improving the security of our increasingly valuable recycled water resources.

污水处理厂蓝藻水华对出水水质和循环水的利用产生影响，对经济、环境和公众健康构成重大风险。为了了解池塘污水处理厂中蓝藻水华的原因及其构成的风险，该项目将使用最新的分子技术来研究这些系统中的微生物群落如何相互作用及其周围环境，以形成水华并产生毒素和其他有害代谢物。这些知识将为风险评估提供信息，并为缓解未来的水华事件提供策略，提高我们日益宝贵的再生水资源的安全性。
