Cyanophage treatment development for mitigating freshwater Harmful Algal Blooms caused by cyanobacteria

This study will identify a new treatment for harmful algal blooms that could potentially lead to Reclamation administered HAB treatments, as well as help develop mitigation techniques that could be commercialized with potential future private industry partners. Recent large scale harmful algal bloom (HAB) events in lakes and large river systems emphasize the need for more research on freshwater HAB to improve water quality and protect public health.
