Eutrophication assessment and environmental management perspectives of Tóbari: an arid subtropical coastal lagoon of the Gulf of California.

Coastal lagoons are vulnerable to eutrophication processes. In this study, we evaluate the eutrophication process in the restricted, arid subtropical Tóbari coastal lagoon, located in the eastern coast of the Gulf of California, where the main source of nutrient inputs and other pollutants is agricultural wastewater from the Yaqui Valley. The Assessment of Estuarine Trophic Status (ASSETS) model and the Trophic State Index (TRIX) were used to evaluate eutrophication.

Mixotrophic growth regime as a strategy to develop microalgal bioprocess from nutrimental composition of tequila vinasses.

The selection of a suitable growth regime can increase the physiological performance of microalgae and improve bioprocess based on these microorganisms from agro-industrial residues. Thus, this study assessed the biotechnology capacity-biomass production, biochemical composition, and nutrient uptake-from tequila vinasses (TVs) as the nutrient source of three indigenous microalgae-Chlorella sp., Scenedesmus sp.
