Journal ArticleDOI
Microalgae as multi-functional options in modern agriculture: current trends, prospects and challenges.
TL;DR: Prospects and challenges of application of microalgae in various areas of agriculture, including crop production, protection and natural resource management are focused on.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phycoremediation of wastewaters: a synergistic approach using microalgae for bioremediation and biomass generation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a comprehensive compilation of reports on microalgal diversity of wastewaters, followed by a critical overview of their utilization, suitability and potential in bioremediation vis-a-vis biomass production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of microalgal consortia for treatment of primary treated sewage effluent and biomass production
TL;DR: In this article, the potential of consortia of native filamentous microalgal strains (MC2, MC3), unicellular micro algal strain (MC3), and selected microalgae from germplasm (MC1) in terms of nutrient removal, water quality improvement, and biomass production using primary treated sewage water was analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploring the efficacy of wastewater-grown microalgal biomass as a biofertilizer for wheat
Nirmal Renuka,Radha Prasanna,Anjuli Sood,Amrik Singh Ahluwalia,Radhika Bansal,Santosh Babu,Rajendra Singh,Yashbir Singh Shivay,Lata Nain +8 more
TL;DR: A positive correlation was observed between soil nutrient availability at mid crop stage and plant biometrical parameters at harvest stage and the promise of such microalgal consortia as a biofertilizer for 25% N savings and improved yields of wheat crop was revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of cyanobacterial inoculation on the culturable microbiome and growth of rice.
Himani Priya,Radha Prasanna,Balasubramanian Ramakrishnan,Ngangom Bidyarani,Santosh Babu,Shobit Thapa,Nirmal Renuka +6 more
TL;DR: It is illustrated that cyanobacterial inoculation can play significant roles in improving growth and metabolism of rice directly and interact with the beneficial members from the endophytic microbiome of rice seedlings synergistically.
