Brno scientists are testing use of algae in water purification

Scientists from Mendel University in Brno have cultivated highly efficient algae capable of removing residues of fertilizers and pharmaceuticals—including paracetamol and antibiotics—from water. These algae are grown in specialised bioreactors, and laboratory experiments are yielding promising results.

One of the researchers examining the potential use of algae in wastewater treatment is Jan Veselský from the Faculty of Agronomy at Mendel University.
