(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
The catalytic activity and durability of porous ternary Pd-based electrocatalysts are augmented by alloying with other metals and using supports, however, the effect of supports and electrolytes at varied pH on the ...
Abiotic stress applied to Tetraselmis subcordiformis reveals enhanced metabolic responses and increased production of Omega-3 fatty acids: A Metabolomic approach
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
The appeal of high value algal metabolites is certain due to their sustainability, low energy and space requirements. Yet, commercial-level production of such products is limited and has the potential to be enhanced. In ...
Community-level genetic profiles of actinomycetales in long-term biowaste-amended soils
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
Actinomycetales is an order of actinobacteria that have an important role in the decomposition of organic matter. Their abundance and distribution can reflect a good level of soil fertility as well as biological activity. ...
