Dataset
ENTFELLNER, E., BAUMANN, K.B.L., EDWARDS, C. and KURMAYER, R. 2023. High structural diversity of aeruginosins in bloom-forming cyanobacteria of the genus Planktothrix as a consequence of multiple recombination events. [Dataset]. Marine drugs [online], 21(12), article number 638. Available from: https://www.mdpi.com/article/10.3390/md21120638/s1

Many compounds produced by cyanobacteria act as serine protease inhibitors, such as the tetrapeptides aeruginosins (Aer), which are found widely distributed. The structural diversity of Aer is intriguingly high. However, the genetic basis of this rem...

Nature-based solution to eliminate cyanotoxins in water using biologically enhanced biochar. (2023)
Journal Article
MOORE, J., JAYAKUMAR, A., SOLDATOU, S., MAŠEK, O., LAWTON, L.A. and EDWARDS, C. 2023. Nature-based solution to eliminate cyanotoxins in water using biologically enhanced biochar. Environmental science and technology [online], 57(43), pages 16372-16385. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.3c05298

Climate change and high eutrophication levels of freshwater sources are increasing the occurrence and intensity of toxic cyanobacterial blooms in drinking water supplies. Conventional water treatment struggles to eliminate cyanobacteria/cyanotoxins a... Read More about Nature-based solution to eliminate cyanotoxins in water using biologically enhanced biochar..

Conference Proceeding
ILIAKOPOULOUS, S., TRIANTIS, T., ANTONOPOULOU, M., EDWARDS, C., LINDA, L., KISKIA, A. and KALOUDIS, T. 2023. Transformation products of microcystin-RR with reactive species produced by radiolysis of water. In Proceedings of the 18th International conference on environmental science and technology 2023 (CEST2023), 30 August - 2 September 2023, Athens, Greece. Athens: COSMOS SA [online], paper ID cest2023_00012. Available from: https://doi.org/10.30955/gnc2023.00012

Microcystins (MCs) are potent cyclic-peptide toxins produced by cyanobacteria during freshwater bloom episodes. They can severely impact drinking water supplies and recreational waters. More than 300 MCs are known today, which are toxic, mainly by in... Read More about Transformation products of microcystin-RR with reactive species produced by radiolysis of water..

Bio-based sustainable polymers and materials: from processing to biodegradation. (2023)
Journal Article

In the life cycle of a material, there will be either chemical or physical change due to varying environmental factors such as biological activity, light, heat, moisture, and chemical conditions. This process leads to polymer property change as perta... Read More about Bio-based sustainable polymers and materials: from processing to biodegradation..

Journal Article
JAYAKUMAR, A., MORRISSET, D., KOUTSOMARKOS, V., WURZER, C., HADDEN, R.M., LAWTON, L., EDWARDS, C. and MAŠEK, O. 2023. Systematic evaluation of pyrolysis processes and biochar quality in the operation of low-cost flame curtain pyrolysis kiln for sustainable biochar production. Current research in environmental sustainability [online], 5, article 100213. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.crsust.2023.100213

Low-cost pyrolysis units such as flame curtain pyrolysis kilns are gaining popularity for biochar production. However, the processes that govern the working of such units are not well understood. Here, emissions, temperatures and mass loss are monito...
