Biomass and lipid enhancement in Ankistrodesmus sp. cultured with reused and minimal nutrients media.

Microalgae are a promising feedstock for biofuel production. Lipid content in microalgae could be enhanced under nutrient depletion. This work investigated the effect of the nutrient on lipid accumulation in Ankistrodesmus sp.

Physiological and transcriptional responses to high temperature in Arthrospira (Spirulina) platensis C1.

Arthrospira (Spirulina) platensis is a well-known commercial cyanobacterium that is used as a food and in feed supplements. In this study, we examined the physiological changes and whole-genome expression in A. platensis C1 exposed to high temperature.

Phosphorus removal from domestic wastewater by Echinodorus cordifolius L.

This study was to use the plants to remove phosphorus from domestic wastewater which contained high phosphorus concentration. Six higher plant species such as Crinum asiaticum L., Echinodorus cordifolius L.

Cultivation of Spirulina platensis using pig wastewater in a semi-continuous process.

The effluent from anaerobic digestion contains organic nitrogen and phosphorus, which are both required for growth of Spirulina platensis. Effluent (20%) from the upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) from a pig farm, supplemented with 4.5 g/l sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO(3)) and 0.
