In this paper, a new and facile approach for molybdate loading in the brown algae of Sargassum angustifolium is introduced. The molybdate ions were entered into the algae body during a short cultivation to produce algae-Mo as a novel adsorbent for eliminating phosphate ions from synthetic and real wastewaters. Results of the surface analysis showed that molybdate loading onto the algae was succ...

In this study, the focus is on magnetic separation of fresh water algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Chlorella vulgaris as well as marine algae Phaeodactylum tricornutum and Nannochloropsis salina by means of silica-coated magnetic particles. Due to their small size and low biomass concentrations, harvesting algae by conventional methods is often inefficient and cost-consuming. Magnetic separa...

There are many kinds of marine algae. Several medical advantages of algae is confirmed[1-11]. Of several species, Laminaria species is a group of marine algae that is generally known as sea brown algae. It can be seen around the world and the coastal people have known it for years. Generally, the algae can be seen at 25 to 100 feet depth level. This algae has been used as food source for a long...

A major threat to coral reefs today is the phase shift to algaldominated reefs. Algae can stress corals by overgrowing and smothering them, blocking sunlight needed for photosynthesis, and enhancing microbial growth. However, the mechanisms underlying algae-coral interactions are still poorly understood. This study examined how the tumbleweed algae Dictyota sp. affects the photophysiology of th...

currently, white fish or kutum rutilus frisii is considered to be a good candidate for commercial aquaculture. however, little information is available regarding the nutritional requirement of this fish fry. experiments were conducted to examine the effects daphnia magna as live food cultured on two freshwater green algae, chlorella sp. and scenedesmus obliquus enriched with different b group v...

and an increased chlorophyll b to chlorophyll a ratio for better light capture in low light. Furthermore, an Ostreobium strain living in a coral skeleton, where nearly all of the red light has been captured by the zooxanthellae in the coral tissue, has been shown to have modified chlorophyll with a spectrum shifted towards far-red wavelengths. As zooxanthellae cannot use far-red light, more of ...
