Microalgae are attracting the interest of agrochemical industries and farmers, due to their
biostimulant and biofertiliser properties. Microalgal biostimulants (MBS) and biofertilisers …

The present study investigates the biostimulant effects of 18 Crude Bio-Extracts (CBEs)
obtained from Microalgae and Cyanobacteria on tomato plant growth, chlorophyll content …

The viability of algae-based biodiesel industry depends on the selection of adequate strains
in regard to profitable yields and oil quality. This work aimed to bioprospecting and …

Many algae are auxotrophs for vitamin B12 (cobalamin), which they need as a cofactor for
B12‐dependent methionine synthase (METH). Because only prokaryotes can synthesize the …

Green algae offer sustainable, clean and eco-friendly energy resource. However, production
efficiency needs to be improved. Increasing cellular lipid levels by nitrogen depletion is one …

Historically most harmful algal species (HAS) have been thought to be strictly phototrophic.
Mixotrophy, the use of phototrophy and heterotrophy in combination, has been emphasized …

In order to ensure food security worldwide in the face of current climate changes, a higher
quality and quantity of crops are necessary to sustain the growing human population. By …

The successful net growth of a species depends on its ability to optimise resource capture, to
utilise efficiently these resources and to minimise losses. It is unlikely that any one organism …

Two microalgae strains including Chlorella vulgaris and Acutodesmus obliquus were grown
on BG11 medium with salinity stress ranging from 0.06 to 0.4 M NaCl. Highest lipid content …

In biological oceanography, it has been widely accepted that the maximum quantum yield of
photosynthesis is influenced by nutrient stress. A closely related parameter, the maximum …
