Algae biofuels is considered as an alternative source to fossil fuels. In recent ‎decades, there was a ‎significant increase in the use of energy sources in order ‎to avoid the depletion of traditional ‎sources s...

The widespread use of antibiotics, coupled with the inadequate removal efficiency of these substances by traditional wastewater treatment methods, has resulted in the global presence of antibiotics at varying concentrati...

Cyanobacteria and microalgae represent promising sources for sustainable production of biofertilizers and biostimulants, which can improve crop yield and quality and contribute to food security. However, despite their po...

The increasing trend of healthy awareness demands nutrient-rich food consumption, for instance, processed with no gluten. This research focused on developing gluten-free pasta utilizing a composite blend of brown rice, s...

Microalgae are promising platforms for CO2 mitigation. However, high CO2 exposure can impose physiological and environmental constraints, such as acidification and disruption of cellular homeostasis, which impair sensiti...

This mini-review aims to highlight the important role that omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids play during pregnancy, on the fetus and during lactation. These acids are involved in formation of membrane phospholipids in ...

ABSTRACT A trial was carried out to evaluate the effects of different levels of microalgae Schizochytrium sp. on performance, yolk lipid profile, and egg quality of Japanese quail. A flock of 210 quail was distributed in...

The extensive reliance on fossil resources for fuels and platform chemicals has raised critical concerns over resource depletion and increasing greenhouse gas emissions. To address these challenges, microalgae offer a pr...

Microalgae are producer organisms that have been used as bioindicators since the 19th century. Microalgae are characterized by their rapid reproduction, short life cycle, and easy collection. Although their...

Arsenic (As) is a toxic metalloid, and its accumulation in macroalgae has raised concerns for aquatic ecosystem health and human food safety given the increasing consumption of macroalgae. While previous studies have pre...

ABSTRACT Despite growing interest in microalgae for biodiesel, the quality parameters of biodiesel from Amazonian species remain largely unexplored. The rich biodiversity of the Amazon and the limited studies of its nati...

BackgroundMetabolic syndrome (MetS) affects approximately 1.54 billion adults worldwide and is characterized by central obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Chronic low-grade inflammation is cen...

Expedition cruise vessels travelling to Antarctica offer several educational opportunities, with Citizen Science (CS) projects being the most prominent way to engage participants in polar science. FjordPhyto is a CS proj...

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of algae and cottonseed meal (CSM) supplementation on the fatty acid (FA) profile in the rumen fluid (RF) of steers fed a low-quality forage. Five Bos indi...

ABSTRACT This study evaluated the effect of co-feeding with commercial feed and live food (enriched or not with microalgae) on the growth and survival of Trachelyopterus galeatus larvae. Five treatments were carried out:...

ABSTRACT The inexistence of nutritionally adequate diets in paralarval rearing is the main bottleneck for commercial production of the common octopus Octopus cf. vulgaris. We report the feeding behavior of O. vulgaris Ty...

Abstract The increasing discharge of untreated wastewater poses risks to ecosystems and public health, necessitating sustainable treatment strategies. Anaerobic digestion (AD) of sewage sludge offers several benefits inc...

RESUMO The biostimulating potential of algae extracts represents an opportunity to increase efficiency in food production. Cultivable microalgae are viable candidates due to the high production capacity. In this work, th...

Milk and dairy products have long played a central role in human nutrition due to their rich content of essential nutrients and bioactive compounds. The growing interest in functional foods—offering health benefits bey...

La creciente preocupación mundial por la escasez de combustibles fósiles, el aumento de los requerimientos energéticos y la protección del ambiente han llevado a la búsqueda de materias primas alternativas. En este...

The valorization of carbon dioxide (CO₂)-rich streams is emerging as a key pillar of a circular, climate-neutral bioeconomy. Biological platforms such as microalgae cultivation, anaerobic fermentation and microbial pol...

Here we describe habitat use and the grazing effects of the sea urchin Tetrapygus niger and the gastropod Tegula atra in the low intertidal zone of a rocky shore in central Peru (Ancón bay: 11° 46?S, 77° 12?W), where ...
