Astaxanthin is a ketocarotenoid, super antioxidant molecule. It has higher antioxidant activity
than a range of carotenoids, thus has applications in cosmetics, aquaculture, nutraceuticals …

Astaxanthin, which is an important metabolite with anti-oxidative property, has been
discovered in some fish, shrimp, and microorganisms. Owing to the great advantages of …

With advances in point-of-care testing (POCT), lateral flow assays (LFAs) have been
explored for nucleic acid detection. However, biological samples generally contain complex …

This study focused on assessing the extent of pollution in both flowing and non-flowing
surface water within the Matjhabeng mining area of South Africa, with particular emphasis …

This paper reviews dietborne toxicity of 13 metals (Ag, Al, As, B, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb,
V, Zn) to aquatic biota. Of those, Ag, As, Cd, Cu, Ni, and Zn have caused dietborne toxicity in …

Metals and persistent organic pollutants (POPs), including perfluoroalkylated acids (PFAS),
are chemicals with a bioaccumulative potential that are detected in wildlife around the world …

Aluminium (Al) is the most common natural metallic element in the Earth's crust. It is
released into the environment through natural processes and human activities and …

Metal-based flocculants are commonly used for biomass harvesting in microalgae-based bio-
refineries. Besides the high separation efficiency, additional aspects should be considered …

As our reliance on aluminum (Al) increases, so too does its presence in the environment and
living systems. Although generally recognized as safe, its interactions with most living …

Routine sampling of water quality was conducted at sites along a longitudinal gradient from
upstream to downstream in the Olifants River to determine spatial trends in nutrient and …
