Current status and future prospects of biofuel production from brown algae in North America: Progress and challenges

Enhancement of Biodiesel Production from Fusarium oxysporum NRC 2017 with Various Mutagenesis and Optimization of the Cultural Conditions Using Response Surface Methodology

“…People suffer from the consumption of greenhouse gases, which can cause things including contributing to respiratory problems, harsh weather, and shortages in the food supply [24]. Finding cheap renewable sources to produce eco-friendly biofuels had expressed concerns due to rising energy needs and a restriction of fuel resources [25]. The purpose of this economic study was to increase the generation of biodiesel as a clean biofuel to reduce the greenhouse gases emissions from the F. oxysporum NRC 2017 when it was cultured on bagasse digested with B. cereus 3SME [16].…”

The Sea's best kept secret: the use of seaweed as a source of biohydrogen for clean and renewable energy

“…20 This involves mixing the Bradford reagent with the algae extract and then analyzing with UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The use of a standard bovine serum albumin is typical in this work to produce a calibration curve for protein content, 6 and thus, determining if the seaweed is suitable for biohydrogen production.…”

“…[3][4][5] The broad range of macroalgae applications from fertilizers, food, and fuels through to pharmaceuticals has led to the emergence of sustainable biorenery concepts focused on macroalgae as a feedstock. 6,7 As a third generation feedstock, macroalgae eliminates issues associated with using rst and second generation feedstocks, such as slow growth rate and land area needed for plant growth. With algae, large-scale production will occur in the oceans and not lead to deforestation or competition for habitat that would otherwise occur if crops such as sugar cane (rst generation) and wood (second generation) are used.…”

Phenylboronic Acid-Functionalized Micelles Dual-Targeting Boronic Acid Transporter and Polysaccharides for siRNA Delivery into Brown Algae

“…Brown algae (phaeophytes) are fascinating organisms that have evolved independently of plants and animals for over one billion years. , These organisms possess unique morphological structures, sexual systems, and metabolic processes, which can supply valuable resources, such as chemicals for antiviral and antitumor drugs. , Brown algae also show great potential as a sustainable biofuel resource, offering a viable option for biomass production. − Furthermore, brown algae significantly helps prevent the release of carbon in the atmosphere through its superior carbon capturing ability; in addition, the turnover of their organic substrates is slow, leading to the entrapment of carbon as “blue carbon” for more extended periods in seawater. , Brown algae play another important ecological role by providing habitats for other species and serving as primary producers in temperate coastal environments. − However, the rapid advancement of climate change in recent years has posed a significant threat to brown algae and coastal ecosystems. , It is therefore crucial to gain more detailed knowledge on the fundamental and physiological characteristics of brown algae to preserve these ecologically and practically invaluable creatures and maximize their utility and tolerability.…”
