(1) Background: The extraction of fatty acids from microalgae and cyanobacteria is mostly performed with organic solvents laborious procedures. Microwave-assisted (MAE) can be a more effective environmentally friendly process than traditional (TE), which uses large volume solvent conduction heating. Freshwater phytoplankton inhabits diverse aquatic environments promising source green precursors...

The present study was undertaken to investigate the influence of benzyladenine (BA) on growth and metabolism of the freshwater microalga Chlorella vulgaris cultures subjected to sodium chloride stress. The interactive effects of salinity (2, 5, and 15 ppt NaCl) and/or benzyladenine (BA, 10 ppm) on growth, pigments composition, carbohydrate constituents, protein content, amino acids concentratio...

The prevalence of tetracycline (TC) in aquatic environments has raised increasing concern due to its high ecotoxicology risk. application microalgae the removal antibiotics is a competitive alternative technology. However, mechanism TC by and correlation with ecotoxic response are still not clear. In this study, ecotoxicity (0.5–10 mg L−1) freshwater alga Chlorella pyrenoidosa were investigated...

Chlorella vulgaris, a microalga often used in wastewater treatment, was coimmobilized and coincubated either with the plant growth-promoting bacterium Azospirillum brasilense, or with its natural associative bacterium Phyllobacterium myrsinacearum, in alginate beads designed for advanced wastewater treatment. Interactions between the microalga and each of the bacterial species were followed usi...
