Microalgae accumulate a considerable amount of lipids and carbohydrate under nutrient-deficient conditions, which makes them one the promising sustainable resources for biofuel production. In present study, to obtain biomass with higher lipid contents, we implemented short-term nitrogen starvation 1, 2, 3 days in green microalga Acutodesmus dimorphus. Few recent reports suggest that oxidative stress-tolerant microalgae are highly efficient To study role stress due deficiency, responses...

Abstract Slow release nanofertilizers are of interest for reducing soil nutrient losses and preventing land degradation associated with established fertilizer use due to fertilizers. Chitosan nanoparticles (CN) were prepared following polymerization chitosan methacrylic acid later incorporated potassium (CNK). CN as well CNK characterized using Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy, field‐emission scanning microscope, atomic force microscopy (AFM)...
Jatropha Methyl Ester (JME) is a potential biodiesel in India. Although high quality EN 14214 grade production from curcas has been demonstrated by us for the first time, leading to surge of interest worldwide, large‐scale cultivation plant with seed productivity critical overall success. The core processes are carried out under ambient conditions and effluent discharge eliminated through integration by‐product recovery. A target 2 tonnes (tonne = metric ton 1000 kg) per hectare jatropha...
The main objective of the present study is to effectively utilize de-oiled algal biomass (DAB) minimize waste streams from biofuel by using it as an adsorbent. Methylene blue (MB) was used a sorbate for evaluating potential DAB biosorbent. characterized SEM, FTIR, pHPZC, particle size, pore volume and diameter understand biosorption mechanism. equilibrium studies were carried out variation in different parameters, i.e., pH (2–9), temperature (293.16–323.16 K), biosorbent dosage (1–10 g L−1),...
High volumes of lipid extracted microalgal biomass residues (LMBRs) are expected to be produced upon commencement biodiesel production on a large scale, thus necessitating its value addition for sustainable development. LMBRs Chlorella variabilis and Lyngbya majuscula were employed substitute the nitrogen content recommended rate fertilizer (RRF) Zea mays L. The pot experiment comprised 10 treatments, i.e., T1 (No fertilizer); T2 (RRF-120 N: 60 P2O5: 40 K2O kg ha(-1)); T3 T6-100, 75, 50, 25%...
Seaweeds are important marine renewable resources. Use of seaweeds as fertilizers has allowed for substitution in place conventional synthetic fertilizers. This study was conducted to examine the effect seaweed liquid extract (SLE) on growth, yield, and nutrient uptake by hybrid maize. The experiments were ZARS, Vishweshwaraiah Canal farm, Mandya (Karnataka, India) during rabi season 2011–2013 foliar applications Kappaphycus alvarezii (K sap) Gracilaria edulis (G sap growth yield response...
