The Biological Systems Engineering Laboratory is assisting Professor Livingston in his research to design effective wastewater systems. A key question that BSEL is helping to address is the microbial population stability in these systems. BSEL is utilising modern molecular biology techniques, such as FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridisation) and, in the future, flow cytometry to analyse the microbial populations in these systems.
