Comparison of UV-A photolytic and UV/TiO2 photocatalytic effects on Microcystis aeruginosa PCC7813 and four microcystin analogues: a pilot scale study. [Dataset]. Journal of environmental management [online], 298, article 113519. Available from: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0301479721015814#appsec1

Cyanobacterial blooms in freshwater reservoirs represent a threat to human and animal health because of the potential release of a wide variety of harmful metabolites, known collectively as cyanotoxins. Microcystins (MCs) are one of the most commonly...

Journal of environmental management [online], 298, article 113519. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2021.113519

To date, the high cost of supplying UV irradiation has prevented the widespread application of UV photolysis and titanium dioxide based photocatalysis in removing undesirable organics in the water treatment sector. To overcome this problem, the use o...

Hazardous cyanobacteria integrity response to velocity gradient and powdered activated carbon in water treatment plants. (2021)
Journal Article
OLIVEIRA, S., CLEMENTE, A., MENEZES, I., GOIS, A., CARLOTO, I., LAWTON, L. and CAPELO-NETO, J. 2021. Hazardous cyanobacteria integrity response to velocity gradient and powdered activated carbon in water treatment plants. Science of the total environment [online], 773, article ID 145110. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.145110

Although some studies have investigated the impact caused by chemicals used on water treatment (coagulants and oxidants) on cyanobacteria integrity, the isolated effect of shear stress during coagulation is still not fully understood. This study eval... Read More about Hazardous cyanobacteria integrity response to velocity gradient and powdered activated carbon in water treatment plants..

Análise de dados categóricos de integridade celular de cianobactérias. (2020)
Journal Article
CLEMENTE, A., OLIVEIRA, S., MENEZES, I., CARLOTO, I. and CAPELO NETO, J. 2021. Análise de dados categóricos de integridade celular de cianobactérias. Revista DAE [online], 69(228), pages 205-224. Available from: https://doi.org/10.36659/dae.2021.015

The techniques used in cyanobacterial cell integrity/viability studies provide two outcomes: intact cells or not. These categorical and dichotomous values often make statistical analysis of the results difficult. In this context, the aim of this pape...

Journal Article
MENEZES, I., MAXWELL-MCQUEENEY, D., CAPELO-NETO, J., PESTANA, C.J., EDWARDS, C. and LAWTON, L.A. 2021. Oxidative stress in the cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa PCC 7813: comparison of different analytical cell stress detection assays. Chemosphere [online], 269, article ID 128766. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2020.128766

Cyanobacterial blooms are observed when high cell densities occur and are often dangerous to human and animal health due to the presence of cyanotoxins. Conventional drinking water treatment technology struggles to efficiently remove cyanobacterial c...
