This work investigates a green approach for an integrated extraction-chain of added-value compounds from Spirulina.
Zoosporic parasites (i.e. fungi and fungi-like aquatic microorganisms) constitute important drivers of natural populations, causing severe host mortality. Economic impacts parasitic diseases are notable in the microalgae biotech industry, affecting production food ingredients, biofuels, pharma- nutraceuticals. While scientific research on this topic is gaining traction by increasing studies elucidating functional role zoosporic ecosystems, we currently lacking integrated interdisciplinary...
This study proposes the integration of an earthenware-based biofilter into photobioreactors, to allow Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) growth using fully-organic nutrient sources. The earthenware membrane was efficiently selectively-permeable material, enabling oxidation soluble organics and diffusion mineralised ions photobioreactor, while retaining organic suspended solids indigenous heterotopic bacteria. Feeding lactic acid fermentation effluents (organic loading rates, reported per unit...
