Widespread application of algal biofilm-based systems in wastewater treatment has been
limited despite the potential benefits of a low cost nutrient removal option and a source of …

Over the past ten years a great deal of literature has focused on the biotechnological
potential of microalgal commercial applications, mainly in the field of biofuel production …

In the view of limited phosphorous resources and tightened discharge regulations, the
recovery of phosphate and nitrate from wastewater is of great interest. Here, the integration …

Using wastewater as resource for microalgal cultivation was seriously considered as a
promising approach for sustainable biomass and lipid production. The proper selection of …

Haematococcus pluvialis, the best natural source for astaxanthin, was cultivated with an
immobilized biofilm method, viz.“attached cultivation”, which was high in photosynthetic …

Current algal cultivation has been mainly performed in open ponds or photobioreactors in
which algal cells are suspended and harvested through flocculation and centrifugation. A …

Although most algae cultivation systems are operated in suspended culture, an attached
growth system can offer several advantages over suspended systems. Algal cultivation …

As the optimal source of astaxanthin, Haematococcus pluvialis was cultured for commercial
production of astaxanthin through two continuous phases: cell growth and astaxanthin …

A novel flat plate photobioreactor with horizontal baffles was developed. The effects of
aeration intensity and aeration site were investigated using computational fluid dynamics …

The objective of this study was to understand and optimize the formation of microalgae
biofilms in specific culture conditions. Firstly, the adhesion of six freshwater algae species …
