Journal Article
PESTANA, C.J., ROBERTSON, P.K.J., EDWARDS, C., WILHELM, W., MCKENZIE, C. and LAWTON, L.A. 2014. A continuous flow packed bed photocatalytic reactor for the destruction of 2-methylisoborneol and geosmin utilising pelletised TiO2. Chemical engineering journal [online], 235, pages 293-298. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2013.09.041

Taste and odour compounds, especially geosmin (GSM) and 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB), cause major problems in both drinking water and aquaculture industries world-wide. Aquaculture in particular has experienced significant financial losses due to the a...

Investigation of the production and isolation of bioactive compounds from cyanobacteria. (2013)
Thesis
HAMEED, S. 2013. Investigation of the production and isolation of bioactive compounds from cyanobacteria. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Due to heavy nutrient load and adverse climate change the occurrence of toxic cyanobacterial blooms have significantly increased during the last decades. Nodularia spumigena is one of the dominant toxic cyanobacteria which produces massive and inhere...

Freshwater bacterial diversity, functions and stability. (2013)
Thesis
GIARAMIDA, L. 2013. Freshwater bacterial diversity, functions and stability. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Biodiversity is declining worldwide with detrimental effects on ecosystems functions and services that it sustains. The relationship between biodiversity and freshwater purification remains unclear. Freshwater purification is of paramount importance... Read More about Freshwater bacterial diversity, functions and stability..

Investigation of novel methods to remove the cyanotoxin, Cylindrospermopsin, from drinking water. (2013)
Thesis
CHANDU, V.C.P 2013. Investigation of novel methods to remove the cyanotoxin, Cylindrospermopsin, from drinking water. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

The widespread distribution of cyanobacteria and their toxic effects on humans has become a major concern for researchers. Cyanobacteria are a group of oxygenic phototrophic bacteria that exhibit an enormous diversity in shapes and arrangements and o...
