The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Microbial Ecology and Control of Foaming in Anaerobic Digesters. One of the world's most common treatments of biosolids (product of wastewater treatment), anaerobic digestion often suffers from accumulation of biological foam. This foam hinders treatment, personnel health and safety, legal requirements for environmental protection are jeopardised and attempts to control digester foaming are costly. There is a clear lack of knowledge about the organisms involved and causes, therefore no informe ....Microbial Ecology and Control of Foaming in Anaerobic Digesters. One of the world's most common treatments of biosolids (product of wastewater treatment), anaerobic digestion often suffers from accumulation of biological foam. This foam hinders treatment, personnel health and safety, legal requirements for environmental protection are jeopardised and attempts to control digester foaming are costly. There is a clear lack of knowledge about the organisms involved and causes, therefore no informed solutions exist. Molecular DNA techniques, 16SrDNA sequencing and DGGE, will assist in deciphering causes and organisms involved. Research outcomes will present environmental, legal and economical acceptable control strategies for digester foaming to the waste management and water industries.Read moreRead less
EXTRACELLULAR ELECTRON TRANSFER IN BIO-ELECTROCHEMICAL SYSTEMS. Water quality and supply are critical issues in Australia. This project investigates the role of bacteria in maintaining a good freshwater quality, and the influence of environmental parameters on this. It will enable us to assess the role of bacteria on greenhouse gas emissions in a variety of environments. As a result, processes can be developed to alleviate high emissions while simultaneously producing green energy. The proteomic ....EXTRACELLULAR ELECTRON TRANSFER IN BIO-ELECTROCHEMICAL SYSTEMS. Water quality and supply are critical issues in Australia. This project investigates the role of bacteria in maintaining a good freshwater quality, and the influence of environmental parameters on this. It will enable us to assess the role of bacteria on greenhouse gas emissions in a variety of environments. As a result, processes can be developed to alleviate high emissions while simultaneously producing green energy. The proteomics study will deliver, aside from knowledge, redox proteins which find their way to diagnostics and fuel cells. This project substantiates Australia based research at the forefront and enables international anchoring of our expertise.Read moreRead less
