The possibility of using photosynthetic microorganisms, such as cyanobacteria and
microalgae, for converting light and carbon dioxide into valuable biochemical products has …

Eukaryotic phytoplankton exhibit an enormous species richness, displaying a range of
phylogenetic, morphological and physiological diversity. Yet, until recently, very little was …

Abstract Aerated batch reactors (2.5 L) fed either with urban or synthetic wastewater were
inoculated with microalgae (dominated by Chlorella sp. and Scenedesmus sp.) to remove …

Biomass and lipid productivity, lipid content, and quantitative and qualitative lipid
composition are critical parameters in selecting microalgal species for commercial scale‐up …

In this study, the potential of 10 algae species for biodiesel production were evaluated by
determining their fatty acid profiles, biodiesel properties besides growth rate, biomass …

Information on the toxicity of environmentally relevant concentrations of nanoparticles in
marine ecosystems is needed for informed regulation of these emerging materials. We …

Biodiesel production from microalgae lipids is increasingly regarded as a more sustainable
and feasible alternative to conventional biodiesel feedstocks derived from terrestrial …

We present the results from sustained tonne-quantity production of two novel strains of
marine microalgae, the diatom Staurosira and the chlorophyte Desmodesmus, cultivated in …

Background Diatoms are an ecologically relevant group of microalgae that are not
commonly considered for bio-oil production even if they are responsible for massive blooms …

Given the widespread presence of plastics, especially in micro-and nanoscale sizes, in
freshwater systems, it is crucial to identify a suitable model organism for assessing the …
