Unveiling the induced lipid production in Chlorella vulgaris under pulsed magnetic field treatment.

The pulsed magnetic field (PMF) was adopted for the enhancement of lipid in Chlorella vulgaris. The average biomass and lipid content in outdoor conditions were found to be 0.315 g.

Degradation of synthetic dye, Rhodamine B to environmentally non-toxic products using microalgae.

In the present study a potential freshwater microalgae Coelastrella sp. was selected for degradation of synthetic dye, Rhodamine B in batch culture system. Effect of several physico-chemical parameters that influence the decolorization followed by degradation ability was investigated (inoculum concentration, initial dye concentration, temperature and pH) and optimal experimental condition was ascertained.

Gold nanoparticles from pro and eukaryotic photosynthetic microorganisms--comparative studies on synthesis and its application on biolabelling.

Today, a material science focuses on the nanoparticles synthesis in general and synthesizing them by biological entity in particular for their marvel production and its remarkable property. In this present study, synthesis of gold nanoparticles using photosynthetic microorganisms such as Coelastrella sp. (eukaryotes) and Phormidium sp.
