Entrapment of microalgae in silica hydrogels enables the application as biocatalysts in
continuous production of secreted products. Despite a mitigation of substrate and product …

In this work, we aimed at improved viability and growth of the microalga Chlamydomonas
reinhardtii in transparent silica hydrogels based on low-ethanol, low-sodium and low …

Despite being a promising feedstock for food, feed, chemicals, and biofuels, microalgal
production processes are still uneconomical due to slow growth rates, costly media …

An advanced encapsulation matrix that efficiently protects microalgae from harmful UV light
without causing toxicity to the entrapped culture is developed based on the electrostatic …

Cyanidium caldarium (Tilden) Geitler SAG 16.91 has been encapsulated within a porous
silica host structure to target novel photosynthetic hybrid materials suitable for use in solar …

Silicates-in-silica nanocomposite hydrogels obtained from sodium silicates/colloidal silica
mixtures have previously been found to be useful for bacterial encapsulation. However the …

With the aim of designing photobioreactors (PBR) based on a smart exploitation of
microalgae for the production of biofuels and metabolites of interest, this paper describes a …

In the framework of designing novel bioreactors, the encapsulation of photosynthetic
cyanobacterial strains of the genus Synechococcus, PCC 6301, PCC 7002 and Cyanothece …

This work demonstrates the feasibility of sol–gel entrapment in targeting novel
photobioreactors. Photosynthetic cyanobacterial strains of the genus Synechococcus, PCC …

Microalgae immobilized in hydrogels offer advantages over those cultured in suspension
culture in terms of carbon fixation and oxygen emission. However, alginate as a commonly …
