Algal photosynthetic aeration increases the capacity of bacteria to degrade organics in wastewater
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Biotechnology and Bioengineering"
DOI: 10.1002/bit.27172
Abstract: Wastewater treatment is an energy‐intensive process and a net emitter of greenhouse gas emissions. A large fraction of these emissions is due to intensive aeration of aerobic bacteria to facilitate break‐down of organic compounds. Algae… read more here.

Integration of algae‐based biofuel production with an oil refinery: Energy and carbon footprint assessment
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "International Journal of Energy Research"
DOI: 10.1002/er.5760
Abstract: Biofuel production from algae feedstock has become a topic of interest in the recent decades since algae biomass cultivation is feasible in aquaculture and does therefore not compete with use of arable land. In the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/etc.5514
Abstract: Pond management with chemical and biological agents that reduce overgrowth of algae is an important means of maintaining water quality in residential ponds, yet the effects on nontarget species are not fully understood. We assessed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/978-1-4939-8654-5_2
Abstract: A substantial portion of eukaryote diversity consists of algae with complex plastids, i.e., plastids originating from eukaryote-to-eukaryote endosymbioses. These plastids are characteristic by a deviating number of envelope membranes (higher than two), and sometimes a remnant… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10347-020-00606-9
Abstract: Calcareous red algae have been important components in reefal facies since the Mesozoic but their volumetric contribution to Palaeozoic reefs was usually low. Here, we report a reef-building community dominated by Parachaetetes, a genus of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10811-017-1338-5
Abstract: Lectins are unique proteins or glycoproteins of non-immune origin that bind specifically to carbohydrates. They recognise and interact reversibly to either free carbohydrates or glycoconjugates, without modifying their structure. Lectins are highly diverse and widely… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11356-021-15755-9
Abstract: Constructed wetlands (CWs) can be used for tertiary treatment of wastewater; however, carbon source shortages limit denitrification. We studied the effect of algae addition as an external carbon source in CWs and found that the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13131-018-1178-4
Abstract: Carotenoids play a crucial role in absorbing light energy for photosynthesis, as well as in protecting chlorophyll from photodamage. In contrast to the Streptophyta, few studies have examined carotenoid biosynthetic pathways in algae, owing to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.agwat.2020.106556
Abstract: Abstract Large volumes of anaerobic digestion effluents (ADEs) are generated by intense livestock and poultry farm activities. If untreated, these effluents represent a threat to the environment. Previous data have indicated that microalgae are able… read more here.
