Current US algae biorefineries, projects and perspectives [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Large challenges remain to take advantage of algae (cyanobacteria, microalgae, and macroalgae) as a bioenergy, biofuels, and bioproducts crop. Traditional applications in the nutraceutical and food industry, have shown more promise.

Advancing Research on Biomaterials and Biological Materials with Scanning Electron Microscopy under Environmental and Low Vacuum Conditions

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Herein, environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) is discussed as a powerful extension of conventional SEM for life sciences. By combining high‐resolution imaging with variable pressure and humidity, ESEM allows the analysis of untreated biological materials, supports in situ monitoring of hydration‐driven changes, and advances the functional ...

Can Anaerobically Digested Food Effluent Support Arthrospira platensis Cultivation in Open Ponds?

open access: yesApplied Sciences
The cultivation of Arthrospira platensis (Spirulina) is well-established in applied phycology, but the high cost of conventional media limits large-scale production.

Lipid content and biomass analysis in autotrophic and heterotrophic algal species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Biofuels are a form of renewable energy derived from living matter, typically plants. The push for biofuels began in order to decrease the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) released into the atmosphere, as biofuels are essentially carbon neutral.

A New Marine Ascomycete from Australia

open access: yes, 1965
Most marine pyrenomycetes are lignicolous, but some are epiphytic on marine phanerogims and algae. Meyers (1957) listed 30 species of algae known to be attacked by these fungi.

Biodegradable and Recyclable Luminescent Mixed‐Matrix‐Membranes, Hydrogels, and Cryogels based on Nanoscale Metal‐Organic Frameworks and Biopolymers

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The study presents biodegradable and recyclable mixed‐matrix membranes (MMMs), hydrogels, and cryogels using luminescent nanoscale metal‐organic frameworks (nMOFs) and biopolymers. These bio‐nMOF‐MMMs combine europium‐based nMOFs as probes for the status of the materials with the biopolymers agar and gelatine and present alternatives to conventional ...

Response of the Green Alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to the DNA Damaging Agent Zeocin

open access: yesCells, 2019
DNA damage is a ubiquitous threat endangering DNA integrity in all living organisms. Responses to DNA damage include, among others, induction of DNA repair and blocking of cell cycle progression in order to prevent transmission of damaged DNA to daughter

Synthetic biology is essential to unlock commercial biofuel production through hyper lipid-producing microalgae: a review

open access: yesApplied Phycology, 2021
The multiple drivers of increasing global energy demand, diminishing fossil fuel reserves and the urgent need to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from non-renewable energy sources have led to a growing international interest in supplementary energy, and

Biomimetic Iridescent Skin: Robust Prototissues Spontaneously Assembled from Photonic Protocells

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Uniform nanoparticles are induced to form arrays (photonic crystals) in the cores of biopolymer capsules, endowing these ‘protocells’ with structural color. These protocells are then assembled into large self‐standing objects, i.e., prototissues, with robust mechanical properties as well as iridescent optical properties.
