Phosphorus (P) is a non-substitutable resource and global reserves of phosphate rock are limited. In this study, phosphorus recovery by Chlorella vulgaris, and the effects of different light intensities (2000 Lux, 5000 Lux, 8000 Lux, 12,000 Lux) on the phosphorus distribution in the soluble microbial product (SMP), extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) and intracellular polymeric substance (IPS) were analyzed. The results showed that the 5000 Lux was the optimum light intensity for P uptake and transformation by Chlorella vulgaris under mixotrophic cultivation. At the light intensity of 5000 Lux, the P uptake rate was 100% after 32 days of cultivation, and the concentration of intracellular organic phosphorus (OP) was 5.77 mg P/L. Moreover, EPS was the main P pool when inorganic phosphorus (IP) was depleted in bulk solution. Phosphorus recovery by microalgae is an important solution to treat P-containing wastewater.

This study investigates the resilience of the unicellular green microalga to extreme atmospheric conditions simulating those of Mars, Jupiter, and Titan. Using Earth as a control, experiments were conducted under autotrophic and mixotrophic conditions to evaluate the organism's photosynthetic efficiency, oxygen production, and biomass growth over 2, 5, and 12 days. Photosynthetic performance was analyzed through chlorophyll a fluorescence induction (JIP-test), metabolic activity via gas chromatography, and biomass accumulation measurements.

Ocean oil spills can severely impact ecosystems and disrupt marine biodiversity and habitats. Microbial remediation is an effective method for removing thin oil slick contamination. In this study, the adsorption and degradation of low-concentration oil spills by Chlorella vulgaris LH-1 immobilized in konjac glucomannan (KGM) aerogel were investigated.

This study evaluated the growth performance of and microalgae cultivated in diluted liquid digestate supplemented with CO, comparing their efficiency to that of a conventional synthetic media. The presence of an initial concentration of ammonium of 125 mg N-NH .L combined with the continuous injection of 1% v/v CO enhanced the optimal growth responses and bioremediation potential for both strains in 200-mL cultures.

There are now several companies that are producing microalgae such as Arthrospira platensis, Chlorella vulgaris, and Dunaliella salina, among others. They are cultivated mainly in large-scale raceway and tubular photobioreactors. Microalgae production represents a sustainable alternative to conventional biomass production.

The severe climate change has caused a drastic water level disparity around the globe, which eventually has been one of the biggest problems of this era related to land degradation. This has caused the multidimensional impact on ecology, the environment, and their components. Algae, one of the ancient micro-engineers, are involved in the functioning of soil microcosm.
