Potassium hydroxide activation of microalgal biochar for improved adsorption efficiency
Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract Activated carbon was prepared from Chlorella by carbonization and potassium hydroxide activation, and its structural properties and methylene blue (MB) adsorption performance were evaluated. Raw Chlorella exhibited an adsorption capacity of 287.2 mg g−1, which decreased to 214.8 mg g−1 after carbonization.

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT One of the major subfields of chemical ecology is the study of toxins and how they mediate interactions between organisms. Toxins produced by harmful algae (phycotoxins) impact a wide variety of organisms connected to the marine food web. Significant research efforts have thus aimed to identify the ecological and evolutionary drivers behind ...

Partners or passengers? Revisiting the association between diatoms and aquatic animals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Numerous studies have revealed the importance of research on the communities capable of colonizing animal surfaces (epibionts) and the animals on which they live (basibionts). Very few studies have considered epizoic diatoms, and there are gaps and biases in our knowledge, including the choice of basibionts, the methods used, and the habitats ...

Searching for α−solenoid proteins involved in organellar gene expression
BMC GenomicsBackground In photosynthetic eukaryotes of the green lineage, the expression of the chloroplast genome is mainly regulated post-transcriptionally, by RNA-binding proteins encoded in the nuclear genome termed organelle trans-acting factors.

SiC/Si ceramic hollow fibres: A new approach to Chlorella vulgaris biomass harvesting
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Efficient harvesting of microalgae is a critical challenge for the viability of biorefineries, requiring technologies that combine high selectivity, low cost, and scalability. The current work evaluated the performance of an asymmetric hollow fibre ceramic membrane (HF‐SiC70Si30), fabricated by phase inversion and sintered at 1250°C, in the ...
