The aim of this review is to provide insights into the upstream processing of microalgae, and
to highlight the advantages of each step. This review discusses the most important steps of …

Glaciers and ice sheets, like other biomes, occupy a significant area of the planet and
harbour biological communities with distinct interactions and feedbacks with their physical …

Micro-algae have potential as sustainable sources of energy and products and alternative
mode of agriculture. However, their mass cultivation is challenging due to low survival under …

Snow or glacial algae are found on all continents, and most species are in the
Chlamydomonadales (Chlorophyta) and Zygnematales (Streptophyta). Other algal groups …

Cold environments represent the majority of the biosphere on Earth and have been
successfully colonized by psychrophilic microorganisms that are able to thrive at low …

Dye-sensitized solar cells based on bacterial-based photosensitizers (bio-sensitized
DSSCs) are promising bio-photoelectronic molecular devices exhibiting enhanced electron …

Microalgae and cyanobacteria are promising sources of biodiesel because of their high oil
content (∼ 10 fold higher) and shorter cultivation time (∼ 4 fold lesser) than conventional oil …

We present the first estimate of green snow algae community biomass and distribution along
the Antarctic Peninsula. Sentinel 2 imagery supported by two field campaigns revealed 1679 …

A lack of liquid water limits life on glaciers worldwide but specialized microbes still colonize
these environments. These microbes reduce surface albedo, which, in turn, could lead to …

We have assessed the microbial ecology on the surface of Mittivakkat glacier in SE-
Greenland during the exceptional high melting season in July 2012 when the so far most …
