Abstract Since the Industrial Revolution, human activities in the various energy sectors have
led to the production of large amounts of wastewaters and effluents that are rich in dissolved …

Heavy metal pollution as one of the most serious pollution problems of marine environment,
seriously threatens the safety of marine organism and human health, and will lead to …

The impacts of human-induced environmental change that characterize the Anthropocene
are not felt equally across the globe. In the tropics, the potential for the sudden collapse of …

Contamination of freshwaters is increasing globally, with microalgae considered one of the
most sensitive taxa to metal pollution. Here, we used 72 h bioassays to explore the …

An increase in atmospheric p O2 has been proposed as a trigger for the Cambrian
Explosion at∼ 539–514 Ma but the mechanistic linkage remains unclear. To gain insights …

This work evaluates the impact of salinity and the toxicity of some metals and organic
compounds commonly found in produced waters on the growth of model photosynthetic …

The concept of circular biorefinery has been promoted as a sustainable new approach for
the nascent microalgae industry. In particular, solvent extraction of the lipid fraction of …

Barium (Ba) dissolution and mobilization in groundwater are predominantly controlled by
sulfate because of the low solubility of barium sulfate (BaSO4) minerals. Naturally present at …

The potential environmental risk associated with flowback waters generated during
hydraulic fracturing of target shale gas formations needs to be assessed to enable …

Abstract Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) is a pivotal technology for enhancing
tertiary oil recovery. The production of partly extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) by …
