The new method to detect early signs of harmful cyanobacteria, blooming in lakes, rivers and reservoirs all over the world, was developed by researchers from the University of Birmingham and a cultural collection of algae and protozoa (factories), located in the Scottish Marine Science Association
Cyanobacteria or cyanobacteria bring about huge environmental problems
It is not a simple matter to detect these algae blooms early enough to prevent them from reaching dangerous levels, as there may be thousands of different algae species
Researchers at the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Birmingham have devised a new method that uses mass spectrometry (a method of identifying specific molecules by mass) to identify key protein features unique to each algae species so that they can be quickly identified Come out
This technology can also successfully identify combinations of different cyanobacteria at low pre-bloom concentrations
The lead author of the study, Dr.
Future work in the development of this technology will involve the establishment of a large database of the spectral fingerprints of all the different cyanobacteria species currently known
The technology can also be used to check the authenticity of cyanobacteria products, such as spirulina extract, for consumption as health and food supplements
