Isolation and characterization of extracellular polymeric substances from micro-algae Dunaliella salina under salt stress

Chemical treatment of teff straw by sodium hydroxide, phosphoric acid and zinc chloride: adsorptive removal of chromium

“…Extra capacity to handle more chromium loading in chemically treated teff straw than that in raw teff straw is due to the surface area improvement and surface functional groups increment. Observed peaks and their assigned functional groups due to chemical treatment and chromium loading have been summarized in Table S2 (Cheng et al 2011;Teixeira et al 2004;Mishra and Jha 2009). …”

Antiviral compounds obtained from microalgae commonly used as carotenoid sources

“…It is thought that the production of these exopolysaccharides is an additional mechanisms to keep the cells safe from salinity (Abbasi and Amiri, 2008;Mishra and Jha, 2009). There were few studies focus on these exopolysaccharides composition.…”

“…However, D. salina and H. pluvialis biomass has been poorly screened for the presence of other active compounds. Thus, several studies reported the presence of antimicrobial compounds , Santoyo et al, 2009) and extracellular polymeric substances (Mishra and Jha, 2009) in these microalgae, but no studies have evaluated their potential to produce antiviral agents.…”

Abundance and Diversity of the Phototrophic Microbial Mat Communities of Sulphur Mountain Banff Springs and Their Significance to the Endangered Snail, <i>Physella johnsoni</i>

“…Excreted photosynthates, extracellular polymeric substances and cell lysates [9]- [11] are then available to support anabolism of heterotrophs. Oxygenic photosynthetic cyanobacteria predominate in illuminated aquatic environments [12], producing a variety of organic compounds such as glycolate, acetate and lactate, capsular and extracellular polymers, proteins and nucleic acids [13]- [16]. These give integrity to the biofilm structure and serve to sequester and retain dissolved organic carbon, minerals and ions [17] [18].…”
