Microalgae potential to protect from heavy metals-induced carcinogenicity
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Article)
Toxic elements are present naturally in the environment; however, during the last century, their level has been continuously rising in the air, water, and soil due to anthropogenic activities, including urban runoff, ...
“Beyond the Source of Bioenergy”: Microalgae in Modern Agriculture as a Biostimulant, Biofertilizer, and Anti-Abiotic Stress
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2021 , Article)
Microalgae are photoautotrophic organisms with high commercial potential. Extracts from microalgae are extensively used in crop cultivation, mainly because they possess growth-promoting properties, coupled with their ...
Halobacteria-Based Biofertilizers: A Promising Alternative for Enhancing Soil Fertility and Crop Productivity under Biotic and Abiotic Stresses—A Review
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article Review)
Abiotic and biotic stresses such as salt stress and fungal infections significantly affect plant growth and productivity, leading to reduced crop yield. Traditional methods of managing stress factors, such as developing ...
Heat-stress-induced changes in enzymatic antioxidant activities and biochemical processes in bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) seedlings
(
Turkiye Klinikleri
, 2023 , Article)
Heat stress (HS) is expected to become a significant abiotic stressor with the continued rise in global temperatures, severely limiting the development and production of bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), especially in arid ...
Synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Bacillus velezensis M3-7 lipopeptides: Enhanced antifungal activity and potential use as a biocontrol agent against Fusarium crown rot disease of wheat seedlings
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Bacillus velezensis M3-7 is a hyperactive mutant, 12-fold improved in its antifungal activity, obtained during a previous study from the wild strain BLB371 after a combination of random mutagenesis and medium component ...
Evidence of the drying technique’s impact on the biomass quality of Tetraselmis subcordiformis (Chlorophyceae)
(
Springer Nature
, 2023 , Article)
Rapid drying, cost-effective and safe, will increase the viability of using microalgae for several bio-industrial applications. In this study, five different drying techniques of microalgal biomass were investigated. These ...
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 ...
Exploring the dynamics of algae-associated microbiome during the scale-up process of Tetraselmis sp. microalgae: A metagenomics approach
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Microalgae have become a key source of valuable compounds, promoting commercial scale applications. However, biological contamination is one of the most critical problems associated with large scale algal production, ...
Unveiling Tetraselmis subcordiformis lipidome dynamics during large-scale cultivation in open raceway pond
(
Springer Nature
, 2024 , Article)
A local microalgal strain of Tetraselmis subcordiformis was cultivated at large-scale using open raceway pond. The temporal influence on the growth and lipidomic profile of the strain was investigated using optic density ...
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 ...
