Cyanobacteria inhabit nearly every ecosystem on earth, play a vital role in nutrient cycling,
and are useful as model organisms for fundamental research in photosynthesis and carbon …

In the framework of designing novel bioreactors, the encapsulation of photosynthetic
cyanobacterial strains of the genus Synechococcus, PCC 6301, PCC 7002 and Cyanothece …

Stresses imposed on the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 by various
compounds present during silica sol–gel encapsulation, including salt, ethanol (EtOH) …

This work demonstrates the feasibility of sol–gel entrapment in targeting novel
photobioreactors. Photosynthetic cyanobacterial strains of the genus Synechococcus, PCC …

With the aim of designing photobioreactors (PBR) based on a smart exploitation of
microalgae for the production of biofuels and metabolites of interest, this paper describes a …

Global gene expression of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 encapsulated in silica gel was
examined by microarray analysis. Cultures were encapsulated in gels derived from aqueous …

Entrapment of microalgae in silica hydrogels enables the application as biocatalysts in
continuous production of secreted products. Despite a mitigation of substrate and product …

Living hybrid materials that respond dynamically to their surrounding environment have
important applications in bioreactors. Silica based sol–gels represent appealing matrix …

An individual cyanobacterium cell is interfaced with a nanoporous biohybrid layer within a
