There is increasing awareness that many terrestrial and aquatic organisms are not strictly
heterotrophic or autotrophic but rather mixotrophic. Mixotrophy is an intermediate nutritional …

There is hardly any sunshine exposed surface on this Earth, be it water or terrain, which
would not support some biota. Still, many habitats offer harsh conditions requiring …

Microalgae have the advantages of eco-friendly and cost-effective for wastewater and flue
gas purification. In this work, four different microalgae strains (Chlorella sp. L166, Chlorella …

It is imperative to slash the cost of algal oil to less than $50 bbl− 1 for successful algal biofuel
production. Use of municipal wastewater for algal cultivation could obviate the need for …

Acidic pit lakes represent hydrological features resulting from the accumulation of acid mine
drainage in mining operations. Long-term monitoring is essential for these extreme and …

Microalgae are photosynthetic microorganisms that use sunlight as an energy source, and
convert water, carbon dioxide, and inorganic salts into algal biomass. The isolation and …

Acid mine drainage (AMD) is characterized by high acidity and high-concentration metals
and sulfate, representing an extreme environment to life as well as environmental challenge …

Pit lakes are artificial hydrological features created by mining operations that typically suffer
from acid mine drainage (AMD), which not only endangers water quality but also …

In extremely acidic lakes, low primary production rates have been measured. We assumed
that proton stress might explain these observations and therefore investigated the …

In freshwaters, algal species are exposed to different inorganic nitrogen (Ni) sources whose
incorporation varies in biochemical energy demand. We hypothesized that due to the lesser …
