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 ...

Seed heteromorphism observed in many halophytes is an adaptive phenomenon toward high salinity. However, the relationship between heteromorphic seed germination and germination-related hormones under salt stress remains ...

The present study is a recent attempt to survey all the parasitological investigations of the marine fish inhabiting Qatari waters. These investigations were first embarked upon in the eighteenth century with the first ...

Sheraoh island is the most remote among Qatari islands, nearly 73.5 km south-eastern of the mainland of the peninsula. In March 2010, a preliminary general survey of the species was conducted. Observations were made ...

Microalgae are photosynthetic microorganisms that can grow in different environments (sea water, fresh water, waste water soil, rocks….) and under various conditions (Light, pH, temperature, salinity….). During their phases ...

This study was conducted to determine the most effective solvent for extraction of polyphenols and antioxidant activity of medicinally important coastal halophytes (Thespesia populneoides, Salvadora persica, Ipomoea ...

The isolation of autochthonous microalgae, with high lipid-contents and biomass productivities is a crucial aspect of the development of commercial production of microalgae-based biodiesel as well as food security in ...

Algae-derived products, in particular biodiesel, have received increased interest over recent years due to their advantages over fossil fuel derived products. The ability of algae to grow in different qualities of water, ...

Microalgae biomass is considered as one of the promising alternative feedstock for biofuel production. The biomass productivity of some of the microalgae can exceed an order of magnitude compared to any other terrestrial ...

Liquid wastewater streams that contain nitrogen must be treated before being discharged into the environment to prevent eutrophication. Already there are several existing conventional treatment technologies that can remove ...
