The Effects of Halogenated Compounds on the Anaerobic Digestion of Macroalgae
Fermentation, 2020 The urgent need to replace fossil fuels has seen macroalgae advancing as a potential feedstock for anaerobic digestion. The natural methane productivity (dry weight per hectare) of seaweeds is greater than in many terrestrial plant systems.

Algae for biofuel:will the evolution of weeds limit the enterprise? [PDF]
, 2012 Algae hold promise as a source of biofuel. Yet the manner in which algae are most efficiently propagated and harvested is different from that used in traditional agriculture. In theory, algae can be grown in continuous culture and harvested frequently to

The impacts of replacing air bubbles with microspheres for the clarification of algae from low cell-density culture [PDF]
, 2014 Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) is a well-known coagulation–flotation system applied at large scale for microalgae harvesting. Compared to conventional harvesting technologies DAF allows high cell recovery at lower energy demand.

Waste-Based Second-Generation Bioethanol: A Solution for Future Energy Crisis
International Journal of Renewable Energy Development, 2022 The demand for more environmentally friendly alternative renewable fuels is growing as fossil fuel resources are depleting significantly. Consequently, bioethanol has attracted interest as a potentially viable fuel.

Light control of the flow of phototactic microswimmer suspensions
, 2013 Some micro-algae are sensitive to light intensity gradients. This property is known as phototaxis: the algae swim toward a light source (positive phototaxis). We use this property to control the motion of micro-algae within a Poiseuille flow using light.

Cell death and degeneration in the symbiotic dinoflagellates of the coral Stylophora pistillata during bleaching [PDF]
, 2004 Rising sea temperatures are increasing the incidences of mass coral bleaching (the dissociation of the coral–algal symbiosis) and coral mortality. In this study, the effects of bleaching (induced by elevated light and temperature) on the condition of ...

Algae Living in Salamanders, Friend or Foe? [PDF]
, 2018 Roughly speaking, our bodies use energy from the sun, but we can\u27t use sunlight directly. Instead, plants and algae collect sunlight and store it as chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.

The ancient phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling system is a master regulator of energy and carbon metabolism in algae [PDF]
, 2018 Algae undergo a complete metabolic transformation under stress by arresting cell growth, inducing autophagy and hyperaccumulating biofuel precursors such as triacylglycerols and starch.
