Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous microalgae cultivation and wastewater treatment in submerged membrane photobioreactors: A review
TL;DR: Applying immobilised microalgal technology to MPBRs has the potential to enhance productivity and mitigate fouling, and there is evidently complex inter-relationships between these parameters, which should not be overlooked during MPBR design.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microalgal species for sustainable biomass/lipid production using wastewater as resource: A review
TL;DR: It was found that microalgal biomass and lipid production in wastewater were comparable to those in artificial culture medium, although most of the data was obtained in sterilized wastewater.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Environmental Biorefinery: Using Microalgae to Remediate Wastewater, a Win-Win Paradigm
TL;DR: In this article, the importance of harnessing the bioremediation capacity of microalgae to treat wastewaters in order to develop the micro-algae industry and to find other alternatives to the classic wastewater treatment processes is discussed.

Microalgal biofuels: Flexible bioenergies for sustainable development
Liandong Zhu,Liandong Zhu,Liandong Zhu,Erkki Hiltunen,Erkki Hiltunen,Erkki Antila,Erkki Antila,Jian-Jiang Zhong,Z.H. Yuan,Zhongming Wang +9 more
TL;DR: From a sustainability perspective the integrated algal biofuels production, where biodiesel, bioethanol and biogas are continuously produced from one biomass source, can evidently lead to an increase in the energetic productivity of the microalgal biomass, thus improving the economics of this algal biorefinery approach.

Determination of accurate extinction coefficients and simultaneous equations for assaying chlorophylls a and b extracted with four different solvents: verification of the concentration of chlorophyll standards by atomic absorption spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this paper, the extinction coefficients for chlorophylls a and b in diethylether (Smith, J.H. and Benitez, A.V., eds.), used in this paper as primary standards, were verified by magnesium determination using atomic absorbance spectrophotometry.

Purification and properties of unicellular blue-green algae (order Chroococcales).
TL;DR: Electron microscopic investigations, together with analytical data on cell wall composition and ribosomal structure, have revealed the common denominators, which are fundamental: bacteria and blue-green algae are the only organisms with cells of the procaryotic type.
