Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have emerged as one of the most critical drivers of climate change; this is primarily due to high concentrations and long atmospheric life of carbon dioxide (CO2). For a significant amount of time, various biological processes such as microalgal cultivation, cyanobacterial systems, photosynthetic microorganisms ...

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract Among the Porphyridium genus, Porphyridium marinum exhibits the highest phycoerythrin (PE) content. In this study, the metabolic trade‐off between biomass, PE, and sulfated exopolysaccharide (EPS) production was assessed under varying nitrogen and sulfur availability, light intensity, residence time, and cultivation mode.
