Non-suspended microalgae cultivation for wastewater refinery and biomass production

Methods of Encapsulation of Biomacromolecules and Living Cells. Prospects of Using Metal–Organic Frameworks

“…The use of some gels and polymers makes it possible to optimize the state of cells and thereby contribute to their stability or modulate their activity [64]. All this ensures the efficiency of using immobilized biocomponents in cell cultivation [65], biofuel production [66], biotransformation of various compounds, and other biotechnological processes associated with biocatalysis, in particular during environmental remediation [67] and therapeutic use (e.g., for wound healing [68,69]), as well as for bioanalytical purposes (e.g., as components of biosensor receptors).…”

Uso de microrganismos no tratamento anaeróbio de efluentes ricos em nitrogênio e fósforo tendo em vista a economia circular

“…As microalgas utilizam dióxido de carbono, luz e nutrientes para a produção de biomassa (polissacarídeos, proteínas, lipídios e hidrocarbonetos). Desta forma, essa matéria orgânica produzida é influenciada pelas condições de crescimento e a disposição de nutrientes no meio (Zhuang, Li, & Hao Ngo, 2020). Os fatores nutricionais são de grande importância para o seu pleno desenvolvimento, portanto é essencial a presença de macronutrientes e micronutrientes no cultivo (Cheng et al, 2020).…”

Innovative Wastewater Treatment Technologies — The INNOQUA Project

“…from wastewater (Surkatti and Al-Zuhair, 2018). Removal of dyes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and endocrine-disrupting compounds has been shown with microalgae (Zhuang et al, 2020). According to a 2006 literature review (Muñoz and Guieysse, 2006) microalgae cells can accumulate significant concentrations of heavy metals (up to 192 mg/g biomass ) and sustain a high removal efficiency by adsorption mechanisms (up to 114.2 mg/g biomass •d), depending on species and the metal being targeted.…”
