This study investigates the potential of hydrothermal carbonisation (HTC) for fractionating anaerobic digestate sewage sludge into carbon-rich hydrochar and nutrient-rich aqueous phase (AP). AP is subsequently used to supplement cultures alkali halophilic microalgae D. tertiolecta (CCAP 19/30), convert sodium bicarbonate carbonate solution as part an integrated biogas purification system. HTC a...

In the present study, photocatalytic degradation of amisulpride using g-C3N4 catalyst under UV-A irradiation was investigated. The process evaluated in terms its effectiveness to remove from ultrapure and real municipal wastewater. High removal percentages were achieved both aqueous matrices. However, a slower rate observed wastewater as matrix that could be attributed complex chemical composit...

The post partum period is characterized by immunosuppression and increased disease susceptibility. Both phytosterols from microalga Dunaniella tertiolecta and dietary supplementation with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) influence cell proliferation and cytokine release during inflammation. The objective of this paper was the evaluation of the effects of physterols, extracted and purified...

We identify four novel DNA-binding complexes in the nuclear-encoded Lhcb1 promoter of the chlorophyte alga Dunaliella tertiolecta that are regulated by photosynthetic pathways in the plastid. The binding activities of three of the complexes were positively correlated with time-dependent changes in Lhcb1 transcript abundance, implicating their roles as transcriptional enhancers in a retrograde s...

Saturating pulse fluorescence measurements, well known from studies of higher plants, were applled to cultures of the chlorophyte Dunallella tertiolecta Photochemical and non-photochemlcal quenching, and the photochemlcal yield and photochemical efficiency of photosystem 11, were deternuned for cultures of D tertiolecta growing under varying light intensit~es Photosynthetic efflciencies appeare...

Heavy metals are introduced into aquatic ecosystems from industrial wastes, agricultural runoff and mining activities. The toxicity of heavy metal ions in solution to microalgae is well known. The essentiality and toxicity of heavy metals has been a subject of extensive research (Stokes 1983). From a biological point of view, heavy metals can be divided into two categories: essential and non-es...
