TL;DR: Although significant literature exists on microalgal growth and biochemistry, significantly more work needs to be undertaken to understand and potentially manipulate algal lipid metabolism, which means simulations that incorporate financial elements are likely to be increasingly useful for predicting reactor design efficiency and life cycle analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the literature on cleaning of nanofiltration membrane to regenerate membrane performance has been published up to date, and there is an urgent need for extensive research work to investigate fouling mechanisms in order to obtain fundamental understanding of fouling to provide more feasible, cost-effective cleaning and performance restoration procedures.

TL;DR: Bacteriocins are ribosomally synthesized and produced during the primary phase of growth, though antibiotics are usually secondary metabolites, and are applied in the food industry as natural preservatives.

TL;DR: The present approach to biomass estimation does not suffer significant interference from non-cellular particulate matter and retains its linearity at volume fractions two orders of magnitude greater than those at which the Beer-Lambert law fails.

TL;DR: The AFM cell probe technique gives unique insights into primary colonization events in biofilm formation and will continue to aid both fundamental studies and the assessment of new procedures that are designed to lower cell adhesion at surfaces relevant to biotechnology, medicine, and dentistry.
