In spite of the fact that individual races of Botryococcus braunii are widely distributed in lakes, reports of the co-existence of different chemical races are rare. Here we report biomarker evidence for the co-occurrence of three different races of B. braunii (A, B and L) in the water column and sediments of El Junco Lake, a freshwater crater lake at 700 m elevation on San Cristóbal Island, Ga...

The aim of this work is to exploit the pyrolysis characteristics microalgae Botryococcus braunii (BB) with a medium pore framework zeolite (MCM-22) and its delaminated counterpart higher external surface area (ITQ-2) using pyrolysis-gas-chromatography-mass-spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) fixed-bed reactor. study evaluates effect synthesized zeolites that possess different size, shape acidity on promoti...

The aim of this study was to identify the variation of plankton communities in the Tortum Lake. Changes in phytoplankton and zooplankton communities in relation to the abiotic environment were analyzed using multivariate analysis. Water samples were taken monthly from three sampling points of the Tortum Lake between June 2012 and May 2013. Water temperature (5.28-23.05°C), dissolved oxygen (1.5...
