The scientific community has turned its interest to microalgae lately, because of their
countless applications such as wastewater treatment and pharmaceutical industry …

Microplastics, ie, plastic particles in the size range of planktonic organisms, have been found
in the water columns and sediments of lakes and rivers globally. The number and mass of …

Algae is recognized as a potentially valuable source of biofuels and biochemicals; however,
a major limitation to commercialization is in the high cost of harvesting, de-watering, and …

Widespread application of algal biofilm-based systems in wastewater treatment has been
limited despite the potential benefits of a low cost nutrient removal option and a source of …

Multi-species, surface-attached biofilms often dominate microbial life in streams and rivers,
where they contribute substantially to biogeochemical processes. The microbial diversity of …

Characterizing the response of microbial communities to a range of antibiotic concentrations
is one of the strategies used to understand the impact of antibiotic resistance. Many studies …

Seaweeds are broadly distributed and represent an important source of secondary
metabolites (eg, halogenated compounds, polyphenols) eliciting various pharmacological …

Biofilms, the complex communities of microbiota that live in association with aquatic
interfaces, are considered to be hotspots of microbial life in many aquatic ecosystems …

Algae are fast-growing, microscopic, and eukaryotic organisms that can perform
photosynthesis, and simultaneously fix atmospheric CO 2. Algal cells contain high quantity …

Ecological variation influences the character of many biotic interactions, but examples of
predator–prey reversal mediated by abiotic context are few. We show that the temperature at …
