The aim of this study was to investigate the control of three species of bacteria commonly associated with biologically contaminated water, using biofiltration. In this study, a laboratory-scale biofilter system was used to investigate the control of...

The quality and health of many of our vital freshwater systems are poor. To tackle this with ever increasing pressures from anthropogenic and climatic changes, we must improve water quality monitoring and devise and implement more appropriate water q...

The in situ production of aquatic fluorescent organic matter in a simulated freshwater laboratory model (2022)
Journal Article
Perrin, E. M., Thorn, R. M., Sargeant, S. L., Attridge, J. W., & Reynolds, D. M. (2022). The in situ production of aquatic fluorescent organic matter in a simulated freshwater laboratory model. Frontiers in Microbiology, 13, Article 817976. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2022.817976

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is ubiquitous throughout aquatic systems. Fluorescence techniques can be used to characterize the fluorescing proportion of DOM, aquatic fluorescent organic matter (AFOM). AFOM is conventionally named in association wit...
