A Novel Miniature Culture System to Screen CO2-Sequestering Microalgae
In this study, a novel 96-well microplate swivel system (M96SS) was built for high-throughput screening of microalgal strains for CO2 fixation. Cell growth under different CO2 supply conditions (0.2, 0.4, 0.8, and 1.2 g L−1 d−1), residual nitrate, and pH

Selenastrum Capricornutum: Harvesting and Oil Extraction, for Biodiesel Production
An alternative for biodiesel production is the use of lipids from microalgae. Although all steps to obtain this biofuel are important, harvesting and extraction are the most important. Advances in these areas are necessary in order to obtain third-generation fuels.

Seasonal Variation of Enzymatically Hydrolyzable Organic Phosphorus in Agricultural Drainage Waters
Abstract Phosphorus (P) export studies in agricultural watersheds have generally focused on soluble reactive P (SRP), the P fraction generally considered as readily available for biological uptake. However, in some settings, the amount of dissolved organic P (DOP) in agricultural drainage waters can be significant and may represent another important ...

Application of algal bioassays in the determination of eutrophic power of waste water (”Conclusions” only) [Translation from: 1g.Sanita pubbl. 31 257-267, 1975] [PDF]
The best evidence for establishing the level of eutrophy of a water-body is its algal production which makes it possible to identify the type and the intensity of the eutrophication according to the kind and number of algal species present: when the ...

The microbiotest battery as an important component in the assessment of snowmelt toxicity in urban watercourses—preliminary studies [PDF]
The aim of the study was to use a battery of biotests composed of producers (Selenastrum capricornutum, Sorghum saccharatum, Lepidium sativum, and Sinapis alba), consumers (Thamnocephalus platyurus), and decomposers (Tetrahymena thermophila) to ...

Exposure, body size, and zooplankton overland dispersal capacity
Abstract The dormant life stages of freshwater zooplankton are generally resistant to environmental exposure, and this facilitates their overland dispersal. However, environmental exposure and overland dispersal are less well studied for the active life stages of freshwater zooplankton.
