Heavy metals (Zn and Cd) effect and their bioaccumulation by a microalga Micractinium pusillum were investigated. Results showed that Cd was more toxic than Zn on Micractinium pusillum. Indeed, inhibitory concentrations of 50% of alga population in 72h (IC(50,72h)) were 0.28 and 0.34 mg l(-1) respectively for Cd and Zn. On the other hand, metal extracted rates from medium solution were more important for Zn than for Cd, essentially for the two first concentrations tested (0.06 and 0.12 mg l(-1)). Furthermore, Zn and Cd extracted proportions were more important for the low concentrations tested and decreased progressively with increasing concentrations applied. This mechanism of extraction corresponds principally to their biosorption by Micractinium pusillum.

In this work the effects of nutrient availability and light conditions on CO utilization and lipid production in Micractinium pusillum KMC8 is reported. The study investigated the ideal nitrogen concentrations for growth and nitrogen utilization in a 15% CO environment. Logistic and Gompertz models were employed to analyze the kinetics of KMC8 cell growth.

This study investigates temperature and light impact on the ability of Micractinium pusillum microalgae to mitigate CO and produce bioenergy in semi-continuous mode. Microalgae were exposed to temperatures (15, 25, and 35 °C) and light intensities (50, 350, and 650 μmol m s-), including two temperature cycles, 25 °C had the maximum growth rate, with no significant difference at 35 °C and light intensities of 350 and 650 μmol m s. 15 °C temperature and 50 μmol m s light intensity reduced growth.

NOx and SOx present in flue gas inhibit microalgal based CO mitigation process. In this work, 13 microalgal strains were screened to evaluate their gradual acclimation capacity to toxic flue gas compounds, by testing their growth capability and photosynthetic ability in dissolved flue gas compounds. Six strains out of them were evaluated for their acclimation to bicarbonate and 15% CO as sole carbon sources.
