Xanthophylls from the Sea: Algae as Source of Bioactive Carotenoids

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2021
Algae are considered pigment-producing organisms. The function of these compounds in algae is to carry out photosynthesis. They have a great variety of pigments, which can be classified into three large groups: chlorophylls, carotenoids, and phycobilins.

Nutrient Removal by Algae-Based Wastewater Treatment

open access: yesCurrent Pollution Reports, 2022
Algae cultivation complements wastewater treatment (WWT) principles as the process uptakes nutrients while assimilates CO2 into biomass. Thus, the application of algae-based WWT is on the upward trajectory as more attention for recovery nutrients and CO2
