Trends in microalgal-based systems as a promising concept for emerging contaminants and mineral salt recovery from municipal wastewater
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article Review)
In the context of climate change leading to water scarcity for many people in the world, the treatment of municipal wastewater becomes a necessity. However, the reuse of this water requires secondary and tertiary treatment ...
Effect of temperature and sunlight on the leachability potential of BPA and phthalates from plastic litter under marine conditions
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
This study investigates the leaching potential of several additives embedded in six different plastic types when exposed to extreme simulated marine conditions for 140 days. The findings achieved herein contribute to a ...

(
Springer
, 2023 , Article)
Bisphenol A, or BPA, goes into the composition of a large number of products including sunglasses, infant’s feeding bottles, receipts, or food packaging. Nowadays, there is a growing evidence that BPA may be at the origin ...
Effects of microplastics’ physical and chemical properties on aquatic organisms: State-of-the-art and future research trends
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Microplastics (MPs) pose a global threat to marine ecosystems, little is known about the factors that influence their bioavailability. Microplastics have the ability to adsorb contaminants from the environment, as well as ...
Exploring the dynamics of algae-associated microbiome during the scale-up process of Tetraselmis sp. microalgae: A metagenomics approach
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Microalgae have become a key source of valuable compounds, promoting commercial scale applications. However, biological contamination is one of the most critical problems associated with large scale algal production, ...
Unveiling Tetraselmis subcordiformis lipidome dynamics during large-scale cultivation in open raceway pond
(
Springer Nature
, 2024 , Article)
A local microalgal strain of Tetraselmis subcordiformis was cultivated at large-scale using open raceway pond. The temporal influence on the growth and lipidomic profile of the strain was investigated using optic density ...
Microalgae: A potential bioagent for treatment of emerging contaminants from domestic wastewater
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Article)
Water crisis around the world leads to a growing interest in emerging contaminants (ECs) that can affect human health and the environment. Research showed that thousands of compounds from domestic consumers, such as endocrine ...

Date palm cultivation has thrived in the Gulf Cooperation Council region since ancient times, where it represents a vital sector in agricultural and socio-economic development. However, climate change conditions prevailing ...
Halobacteria-Based Biofertilizers: A Promising Alternative for Enhancing Soil Fertility and Crop Productivity under Biotic and Abiotic Stresses—A Review
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Other)
Abiotic and biotic stresses such as salt stress and fungal infections significantly affect plant growth and productivity, leading to reduced crop yield. Traditional methods of managing stress factors, such as developing ...
Methane production enhancement from Tetraselmis biomass co-digestion using frying oil residue as co-substrate and ultrasonication as pretreatment
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Tetraselmis sp. microalgae biomass co-digestion with frying oil residue was investigated without or with an ultrasonication pretreatment to enhance methane production. Interestingly, compared to untreated Tetraselmis ...
