Photobioreactors (PBRs) are closed systems designed to cultivate microalgae and other photosynthetic microorganisms under controlled conditions. By providing a stable environment for microalgae growth, PBRs offer a more efficient and sustainable alternative to traditional open pond systems. Open photobioreactors, also…
Algae, a diverse group of aquatic organisms, have gained significant attention in recent years due to their potential applications in various industries, such as biofuels, pharmaceuticals, and nutraceuticals. The successful commercialization of algae-based products, however, depends on the development of…
Throughout our series on algae-based cosmetics, we have explored the immense potential of these innovative beauty products derived from the sea. As we wrap up this series, let us take a moment to recap the potential of algae-based cosmetics, emphasize…
The cosmetics industry has been exploring the potential of algae for some time now, with companies such as Estée Lauder and Unilever incorporating these marine-derived ingredients into their products. Algae-based cosmetics are lauded for their natural, eco-friendly properties and their…
Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are vital nutrients that our bodies require for optimal health. They play a crucial role in maintaining cell membrane integrity, brain function, immune system support, and cardiovascular health. However, our bodies cannot produce these essential nutrients…
Marine algae, a diverse group of photosynthetic organisms found in the world’s oceans, play a crucial role in the planet’s health. They produce around half of the global oxygen supply, sequester significant amounts of carbon dioxide, and serve as the…
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the use of microalgae as a sustainable source of energy and valuable compounds. Microalgae have the potential to contribute significantly to global energy production, while also addressing environmental concerns related…
Photobioreactors (PBRs) are closed systems designed for the cultivation of microalgae, which offer several advantages over traditional open pond systems. These advantages include controlled environmental conditions, higher biomass production, and reduced contamination risks. However, scaling up PBR systems for large-scale…
Wastewater treatment is essential for maintaining public health, preserving the environment, and preventing water pollution. Traditional wastewater treatment methods often involve physical, chemical, and biological processes that can be expensive, energy-intensive, and produce large amounts of sludge. In recent years,…
Algae biomass has gained significant attention in recent years due to its potential as a sustainable source of bioenergy and valuable bioproducts. The efficient harvesting of algae biomass is a critical step in the production process, as it can significantly…
