Description
Reclamation and New Mexico State University are partnering to provide bench scale results for determining the feasibility of cyanophage based treatment for cyanobacterial freshwater Harmful Algal Blooms (HAB).• Through field sampling, HAB causing cyanobacteria and its associated cyanophage will be identified and isolated.• A method for isolating, purifying, concentrating, and storing a cyanophage culture will be developed.• The resulting inoculant will then be used to develop an optimal dosing method to induce population collapse in the cyanobacteria at the bench scale.• This information will be used to determine the feasibility of continuing this inquiry with future projects to test the technology at full/pilot scale.
