Algal-algal bioflocculation enhances the recovery efficiency of Picochlorum sp. QUCCCM130 with low auto-settling capacity
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2023 , Article)
Large-scale production of microalgal biomass is still considered non-viable due to the high cost and energy required for harvesting. A fast, cost-effective, and successful harvesting technique has become widely sought after ...
Secondary metabolites as anti-nutritional factors in locally used halophytic forage/fodder
(
Pakistan Botanical Society
, 2016 , Article)
Rampant salinity coupled with population explosion necessitates search for suitable alternatives to conventional sources of food both for human and animal consumption. While it may be difficult to change our culinary ...
Moderate salinity stimulates growth and photosynthesis of Phragmites karka by water relations and tissue specific ion regulation
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
The domestication of non-food salt resistant plants could be helpful for biofuel as well as phyto-remediation of salt-affected lands. Limited eco-physiological studies on halophytes are the major bottleneck in developing ...
Outdoor continuous cultivation of self-settling marine cyanobacterium chroococcidiopsis sp.
(
Mary Ann Liebert Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
Spontaneous settling of certain aggregating microalgae or cyanobacteria could potentially alleviate the energy requirement in biomass harvesting. A locally isolated floc-forming marine cyanobacteria, Chroococcidiopsis sp., ...
Dry mesophilic anaerobic co-digestion of vegetable wastes with animal manures using leach bed reactor
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2023 , Article)
Anaerobic digestion is an environmentally sustainable technology for converting a variety of organic solid feedstocks to energy in the form of methane. To improve methane yield, the digestion of more than one waste is ...
Multicriteria Decision-Making Methodology for Credit Selection in Building Sustainability Rating Systems
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2017 , Article)
Uncertainty is an inherent characteristic of decision making related to sustainable construction projects. The main reason for this uncertainty is the incomplete information available to stakeholders on the relative impact ...
Assessment of SnO2 nanoparticles' impact on the growth of Picochlorum maculatum algae
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2022 , Article)
To determine the effect of SnO2 nanoparticles on Picochlorum maculatum - isolated from a Qatar marine environment, algal growth media are amended with different nanoparticle concentrations (1, 5, 25, 50, and 100 mg L−1) ...
Isolation and characterization of a newly naphthalene degrading Halomonas pacifica, strain Cnaph3: biodegradation and biosurfactant production studies
(
Springer Verlag
, 2020 , Article)
A newly marine Halomonas pacifica strain Cnaph3 was isolated, as a naphthalene degrader and biosurfactant producer, from contaminated seawater collected in Ataya's fishing harbor, located in Kerkennah Islands, Tunisia. ...
Utilization of nitrogen-rich agricultural waste streams by microalgae for the production of protein and value-added compounds
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2023 , Article)
Current food and feed production practices via agricultural processes generate waste streams often rich in nitrogen. Conversion of the nitrogen in agricultural waste into valuable products would prevent environmental ...
Biocrude oil production from a self-settling marine cyanobacterium, Chroococcidiopsis sp., using a biorefinery approach
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Although the whole microalgal biomass is typically used as a feedstock for hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL), the conversion of a primary metabolite (i.e., carbohydrate) to biocrude is very low. In this study, a self-settling ...
