The present work investigates nitrate and phosphate removal from synthetic treated slaughterhouse wastewater in a novel open raceway pond with sedimentation zone. For this purpose, microalgae Chlorella salina has been cultivated in synthetic wastewater and sedimentation zone has been added to enhance both algae separation in the system and nutrient removal. The effectiveness of Chlorella salina...

2-[Methyl-(3-phenylpropionyl)amino]-benzoic acid (1e) was isolated from a culture of marine Streptomyces sp. strain B7747. Analogous compounds have potential importance as phytotoxic substances, hence compound 1e and the analogues 1a approximately 1d and 1f approximately 3a were synthesised. Antimicroalgal activity of the anthranilamide analogues showed that esters 1b, 1f and 2b were more activ...

N-Phenylethylamides 1a-1f, were isolated from cultures of three limnic strains GW90a, GW102a and GW73a. Strain GW102a delivered additionally the compound cyclo(isoleucyldehydroalanyl) (2). The structure of these compounds were assigned by a detailed spectral analysis. Due to their potential use as herbicides, various related compounds 1a, 3, 4a and 4b were synthesized. The minimum inhibitory co...

A mathematical modeling of microalgae biomass is an essential step to optimize the biomass and lipid production rate and to reduce the cost of microalgal biodiesel production system. In the present study, kinetic studies were carried out to describe the growth and neutral lipid production of two marine microalgae Chlorella salina and Nannochloropsis oculata under the nitrogen-repleted and -depl...

Antibodies against nitrate reductase from Monoraphidium braunii have been used to determine the antigenic relationships of nitrate reductases from different green algae. Nitrate reductases from Chlamydomonas reinhardii, Chlorella fusca, Dunaliella salina, and Scenedesmus obliquus, were inhibited by, and cross-reacted with, antibodies raised against the enzyme from Monoraphidium braunii.These an...

Fungal assist microalgal cultivation is getting substantial considerations due to the highly efficiency of bioflocculation process without demanded of using chemicals and little bit energy input. Therefore, Fungi pelletization-assisted microalgal cultivation were applied for improving algal harvesting process and nutrient recovery as step wise for wastewater treatment. Two strains of marine mic...

Background: Microalgae are photosynthetic microorganisms presenting a diversity of biotechnological applications. However, microalgal cultivation systems are not energetically and economically feasible. Possible strategies that can be applied to improve the feasibility of microalgal production include biofouling control in photobioreactors, the use of attached growth systems and bioflocculation...

We studied the possible role that marine microalgae may play during the outbreaks of WSS (white spot syndrome). In order to elucidate the possibility of marine microalgae carrying WSSV (white spot syndrome virus), six marine microalgae (Isochrysis galbana, Skeletonema costatum, Chlorella sp., Heterosigma akashiwo, Scrippsiella trochoidea, Dunaliella salina) were co-cultured with adult Marsupena...

Caesium displays similar chemical properties to biologically essential K+ and can be accumulated intracellularly by microorganisms via monovalent cation transport systems, which under normal circumstances mediate the uptake of K+ (or Na+) [ 1.21. As well as the ecological importance of such interactions in the environment, where they may involve radioactive caesium, there is also a potential ap...
