Biotreatment of Brewery Wastewater Using the Filamentous Cyanobacterium Leptolyngbya sp.
Papadopoulos K., Economou C., Moustaka-Gouni M., Tekerlekopoulou A., Aggelis G., (Corresponding) Vayenas D.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Brewery wastewater is generated from the beer brewing process in large amounts (4-8 m3 per m3 of beer produced). Brewery wastewater consists of high organic matter content, significant nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations and easily biodegraded compounds. Even though most biological treatment...Read more
Managing the risk of cyanobacteria through water quality characteristics analysis: A case study of two warm Mediterranean reservoirs
(Corresponding) Antoniou M., Kagalou I., Hadjiouraniou G., Daskalakis E., Tsiarta N., Chamoglou M., Polykarpou P.
Topic:
Lakes, rivers, estuaries and ecosystem health
This study correlated the trophic condition of two Mediterranean water bodies with different typology with their water quality characteristics. The two studied cases included Polemidia Dam, a reservoir enriched with tertiary treated wastewater in Cyprus and Lake Karla, a re-established reservoir in...Read more

Detection of cyanobacterial toxins and oligopeptides from the Polemidia Dam in Cyprus
(Corresponding) Keliri E., Antoniou M., Edwards C., Mazur-Marzec H.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms are becoming more spatially persistent worldwide. The formation and release, through cell-death and/or excretion, of bioactive metabolites (cyanotoxins) is comprising a reoccurring concern to environmental protection agencies. Cyanotoxins can negatively impact...Read more

Monitoring and treatment of cyanobacterial contaminated surface waters in France and Cyprus
(Corresponding) Antoniou M., Brient L., Tsiarta N., Keliri E., Christofi M., Sukenik A.
Topic:
Water policy, management and society
Over the past few decades eutrophication of surface water has increased worldwide because of different anthropological activities including land fertilization and sewage run-offs; in combination with climate change. Excessive amount of nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen), is now detected in...Read more
Mitigation of Microcystis sp. with metallic peroxide granules: matrix effect on hydrogen peroxide release kinetics and toxicity study on invertebrates
Keliri E., Christofi M., Efstathiou N., (Corresponding) Antoniou M.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
An array of mitigation strategies has been applied over the years for toxic blue-green algae with the most recent one to be hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Hydrogen peroxide has been widely used as an alternative to copper algaecides, and it is perceived as a more environmentally friendly option for...Read more

Monitoring and treatment of St. George lake to mitigate Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Blooms (cyano-HABs)
(Corresponding) Antoniou M., Keliri E., Paraskeva C., Sofokleous A., Brient L., Chernova E., Dziga D., Sukenik A.
Topic:
Water treatment
This study aimed to monitor St. George Lake, located in the Athalassa National Forest Park of Cyprus, in order to correlate its trophic condition with its water quality characteristics and identify the key environmental variables driving cyanobacteria blooming and their cyanotoxicity. The...Read more
Automated In-Situ Cyanotoxin Assessment Toolbox For Real-Time Surface Water Monitoring (CYANOBOX)
Keliri E., Hadjiantonis A., Demosthenous P., (Corresponding) Antoniou M.
Topic:
Process understanding through innovative sensors and remote sensing
Automated In-Situ Cyanotoxin Assessment Toolbox for Real-Time Surface Water Monitoring, CYanoBox, is a 3-year project, coordinated by the innovation and technology company CyRIC, for the development of novel biosensors, and reliable at-source detection of toxic metabolites. The project aims to...Read more
Feature-based molecular networking and in silico structure annotation/classification of LC-HRMS data unfold the chemodiversity of cyanobacteria in environmental samples.
Iliakopoulou S., Zervou S., Triantis T., Hiskia A., (Corresponding) Kaloudis T.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Freshwater cyanobacteria are prominent sources of structurally diverse natural compounds. Bioactive cyanometabolites are particularly relevant to water quality and public health protection. Non-targeted analysis (NTA) by liquid chromatography - high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) is applied...Read more
