Applications, advancements, and challenges of cyanobacteria-based biofertilizers for sustainable agro and ecosystems in arid climates
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Article)
Based on the increasing world population, the food demands have tremendously increased. Chemical-based conventional agricultural practices will be required to fulfill the food demands, which will damage the soil and create ...
Application note—A novel, low-cost pH-controlled solenoid-based CO2 dosing device for microalgal and cyanobacterial cultivation systems
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2024 , Article)
This application note proposes a novel, low-cost, pH-controlled solenoid-based CO2 dosing device for microalgal and cyanobacterial cultivation systems. The device consists of an Arduino-Uno microcontroller, a (ph-4502c) ...
Outdoor semi-continuous cultivation of Synechococcus sp. for enhanced carotenoid production
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2024 , Article)
The carotenoid productivity of a euryhaline Synechococcus sp. was studied in indoor and outdoor conditions. Indoor experiments revealed that the strain could maintain growth and carotenoid accumulation within a salinity ...
Evidencing nickel biosorption capacity of cyanobacteria Chroococcidiopsis sp.: potential metallo-protective agents
(
BioMed Central
, 2025 , Article)
The increasing prevalence of toxic elements such as nickel (Ni) in the environment poses a significant threat to human health due to its carcinogenic effect. The study investigates the Ni biosorption potential of three ...
Gene expression analysis reveals genes related to heavy metals and produced water exposure in Synechococcus elongatus
(
Springer Nature
, 2025 , Article)
Produced water (PW), a major by-product of the petrochemical industry, contains a complex mixture of contaminants that limit its reuse and pose environmental risks if discharged untreated. Numerous treatment technologies ...
Potential of novel desert microalgae and cyanobacteria for commercial applications and CO2 sequestration
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2019 , Article)
CO2 fixation by phototrophic microalgae and cyanobacteria is seen as a possible global carbon emissions reducer; however, novel microalgae and cyanobacterial strains with tolerance to elevated temperatures and CO2 ...
Assessment of novel halo- and thermotolerant desert cyanobacteria for phycobiliprotein production
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Four indigenous cyanobacteria isolates identified as QUCCCM 34: Chroococcidiopsis sp., QUCCCM 54: Pleurocapsa sp., QUCCCM 77: Euhalothece sp., and QUCCCM 129: Cyanobacterium sp. were investigated during this study. ...
Screening of Qatari Microalgae and Cyanobacteria for Application in CO2 Utilization
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference)
CO2 fixation by phototrophic microalgae and cyanobacteria is seen as a possible global carbon emissions reducer, which could also be applied to produce useful products. In Qatar, the prospect of using microalgae is very ...
Production of phycocyanin by Leptolyngbya sp. in desert environments
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Leptolyngbya sp. QUCCCM 56 was investigated as a possible alternative to A. platensis, for the production of phycocyanin-rich biomass under desert conditions. Under elevated temperatures and light intensities, of up to 40 ...
