Thesis
Development of redox-mediated microbial assays for the rapid characterisation and assessment of wastewater toxicity and oxygen demand.
Description
My PhD focuses on the development and optimisation of rapid mediated toxicity and BOD bioassays, known as FM-Tox and FM-BOD respectively. The principle objective is to incorporate activated sludge microorganisms as the biocatalyst component with a view towards its application for routine monitoring of wastewater influent and effluent.
