For a long time, marine macroalgae (seaweeds) have been used to produce commercial
biostimulants in order to ensure both productivity and quality of agricultural crops under …

Simple Summary Microalgae are photosynthetic microorganisms that use CO2 and sunlight
to obtain oxygen (O2) and generate value-added products. Microalgae are of interest in …

Microalgae can produce biostimulants in form of phytohormones, which are compounds that,
even if applied in low concentrations, can have stimulant effects on plants growth and can …

In this work, a model for the characterization of microalgae cultures based on artificial neural
networks has been developed. The characterization of microalgae cultures is essential to …

Food production will have to increase significantly to meet the nutritional needs of the global
population. There is also an urgent need to increase the sustainability of food production …

The microalga Chlorella vulgaris UAL-1 was produced using urban wastewater that was
either left untreated or sterilised. The biomass productivity achieved when using the …

Microalgal biomass may have biostimulating effects on plants and seeds due to its
phytohormonal content, and harnessing this biostimulating effect could contribute to …

The intensification of livestock activities lead to an increase in waste generation with high
content of nutrients, as is the case of piggery wastewater. However, this type of residue can …

Centrate is a low-cost alternative to synthetic fertilizers for microalgal cultivation, reducing
environmental burdens and remediation costs. Adapted microalgae need to be selected and …

A natural appearing microalgae-bacteria consortium was used to process urban wastewater.
The process was done in an 80 m2 raceway reactor and the results were compared to an …
