Synopsis
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.
