and other systems is adversely impacted by phytoplankton pathogens, including bacteria …

This authoritative book on MALDI MS, now finally available in its second edition and edited
by one of its inventors, gives an in-depth description of the many different applications, along …

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 …

The invention of MALDI‐TOF‐MS enormously contributed to the understanding of protein

MALDI‐TOF MS profiling for microorganism detection has already been demonstrated in the
1990s, but has evolved to the first‐line identification method in many laboratories just during …

The only algae which are able to inflict disease on humans and other mammals through
active invasion and spread within the host tissues belong to either of two genera: Chlorella …

MALDI TOF MS-based microbial identification significantly lowers the operational costs
because of minimal requirements of substrates and reagents for extraction. Therefore, it has …

In 2014, ISHAM formed a new working group:“Medical Phycology: Protothecosis and
