Raman microspectroscopy offers microbiologists a rapid and non-destructive technique to
assess the chemical composition of individual live microorganisms in near real time. In this …

Microalgae have emerged as a potential raw material to produce a spectrum of industrially
significant biomolecules such as lipids, proteins, and carotenoids. Nevertheless, the …

The review briefly describes various types of infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy
methods. At the beginning of the review, the basic concepts of biological methods of …

Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) is the polymer of orthophosphate and can be found in all
living organisms. For polyP characterization, one or more of six parameters are of interest …

Nitrogen (N) is an essential macronutrient for microalgae, influencing their productivity,
composition, and growth dynamics. Despite the dramatic consequences of N starvation …

Polyphosphate (polyP) accumulating organisms (PAOs) are the key agent to perform
enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) activity, and intracellular polyP plays a …

Plants and algae play a crucial role in the earth's ecosystems. Through photosynthesis they
convert light energy into chemical energy, capture CO2 and produce oxygen and energy …

The successful application of the cross-linked chitosan-based polymers for microalgae
immobilization and biocapture of nutrients is reported for the first time. Highly porous …

Microalgae are an attractive source to obtain compounds with bioactive properties, which
can be useful for the manufacture of different products in the fields of cosmetics, pharmacy …

Poor recovery of phosphorus (P) across natural environment (water, soil, sediment, and
biological sources) is causing rapid depletion of phosphate rocks and continuous …
