Microalgae and cyanobacteria are among the most important primary producers and are
responsible for the production of 50–80% of the oxygen on Earth. They can be significantly …

In order to rapidly screen microalgae species as feedstocks for antioxidants, extracts were
obtained from 16 microalgae strains (under 11 genera, 7 classes) using two methods: a one …

The effects of microalgal biofouling on microplastic (MP) may differ from bacterial biofouling.
In this study, the influence of microalgae on MP surface alteration, structural change, and …

Abstract Microplastic (MP) and Nanoplastic (NP) contamination have become a critical
ecological concern due to their persistent presence in every aspect of the ecosystem and …

Insufficient vascular growth in the area of artificial-material implantation contributes to
ischemia, fibrosis, the development of bacterial infections, and tissue necrosis around the …
