Algal biomass production is taking flight in the biotech world and recent results from the Tokyo Institute of Technology have just provided another reason for us all to get on the biomass plane (which ...

Marine macroalgae comprised three groups, among which the Rhodophyceae (red algae) are the most diversified in the world (circa 6131 species) 1. Numerous types of red algae serve as a good source of ...

Osteogenic potential of algae extracts was also tested in vivo by measuring changes in operculum area of zebrafish larvae exposed between 3 and 6 days post fertilisation (dpf) to each extract. Changes ...

Engineered photosynthetic algae could be used within sunlight-powered sustainable chemical biofactories using a new circular production process developed at KAUST. The scalable process uses bespoke ...

Algae are a diverse group of autotrophic single-cell or multicellular organisms. Recently, applying algal research to nanoscience investigations has been one interesting area of emerging technology.

A team of chemical engineers have developed a new kind of jet mixer for creating biomass from algae that extracts the lipids from the watery plants with much less energy than the older extraction ...

Biofuels made from algae are gaining attention as a domestic source of renewable fuel. However, with current technologies, scaling up production of algal biofuels to meet even 5 percent of U.S.

A company called BlueGreen Water Technologies aims to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere while also fighting algae’s toxic effects on people and the environment Diana Kruzman | Freelance writer ...

Effective management of phosphorus is needed to curb the rise of harmful algal blooms. Few studies have explored how algal biomass, especially blue-green algae, can be used to create materials that ...

Outbreaks of algae have killed up to a million fish in the Murray Darling Basin over the last two weeks. The phenomena of “algae blooms”, when the population of algae in a river rapidly grows and dies ...
