(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
The aim of the present study was to provide an integrated view of algal removal of diclofenac (DCF). Two isolated microalgal strains Picocystis sp. and Graesiella sp. were cultivated under different DCF concentrations and ...
Long-term semi-continuous cultivation of a halo-tolerant Tetraselmis sp. using recycled growth media
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In this study, a halotolerant Tetraselmis sp. was selected for 11-month outdoor semi-continuous cultivation in one sq. m raceway tank in the Qatari desert. A fraction of the culture was harvested using ferric chloride, and ...
