To assess the response of a natural plankton community to the future scenario of a warming of +3°C predicted for coastal Mediterranean regions, an in situ mesocosm experiment was carried out over 19 days in a Mediterranean coastal lagoon in 2018. During this experiment, a phytoplankton bloom occurred and the abundances of several cytometric groups ...

The most studied and cultivated microalgae have a temperature optimum between 20 and 35°C. This temperature range hampers sustainable microalgae growth in countries with colder periods. To overcome this problem, psychrotolerant microalgae, such as the snow alga Chloromonas typhlos, can be cultivated during these colder periods. However, most of the...
Coastal wetlands are dynamic ecosystems that exist along a landscape continuum that can range from freshwater forested wetlands to tidal marsh to mudflat communities. Climate-driven stressors, such as sea-level rise, can cause shifts among these communities, resulting in changes to ecological functions and services. While a growing body of research...

Red microalga Porphyridium cruentum has great potential for converting CO2 into high-value bioactive compounds, such as B-phycoerythrin (B-PE) and extracellular polysaccharides or exopolysaccharides (EPS). This study aimed to establish the integration bioprocess of B-PE and EPS production from P. cruentum. First, different kinds of growth medium an...
The research work evaluated seven forage species at different regrowth ages, at two times of the year in three different agroclimatic zones of Costa Rica. A treatment design was used with a 7x2x4 factorial arrangement (forage species, time of year and regrowth days) with three repetitions, with 168 experimental units. The biomass (kg MS/ha), concen...

Characterization of a green algae Lobochlamys segnis strain 019 using morphological dan phylogenetic study were determined. In this study, contribution of natural nutrients will be evaluated by culturing this strain using Sphagnum peat soil extract in comparing to that of a commercial media for freshwater algae. Based on morphological study, L.segn...
The nutrient removal and biomass production of the internal circulating fluidized bed microalgae membrane bioreactor (ICFB-MMBR) was studied under different cultivation modes, influent TOC, influent pH, and influent N/P. Platymonas helgolandica tsingtaoensis was used as the biological source. The growth of P. helgolandica tsingtaoensis and the remo...

In recent decades, degradation and loss of the world’s forest ecosystems have been key contributors to biodiversity loss and future climate change. This article analyzes plant diversity, biomass, carbon sequestration potential (CSP), and the net primary productivity (NPP) of four vegetation types viz., Dense mixed forest (DMF); Open mixed forest (O...
