Sediment is found throughout the world's alluvial plain rivers, estuarine coasts and adjacent
seas and is thereby a key factor in major ecosystems. Suspended mineral sediment can …

Microalgae as photosynthetic microorganisms are the source of valuable compounds such
as proteins, carotenoids, lipids and carbohydrate polymers. Among the different phyla …

Charophytes represent the group of green algae whose ancestors invaded land and
ultimately gave rise to land plants 450 million years ago. While Zygnematophyceae are …
