Two-stage cultivation of N-rich and N-deprived Acutodesmus obliquus biomass: Influence of cultivation and dewatering methods on microalgal biomass used in anaerobic digestion
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Microalgae can be manipulated to accumulate certain cellular compounds of interest without the need for genetic modification - simply by controlling growth parameters such as nitrogen (N). Therefore, A. obliquus was ...
Cryopreservation of microalgae from desert environments of Qatar
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2016 , Article)
The Qatar University Culture Collection of Cyanobacteria and Microalgae (QUCCCM) is a unique resource containing a diverse collection of microalgae and cyanobacteria, isolated from the Qatar desert environment. In order ...
Qatar: A Valuable Resource for Autochthonous Micrlgae with High Potential for Biofuel Production and Food Security
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Algae-derived products, in particular biodiesel, have received increased interest over recent years due to their advantages over fossil fuel derived products. The ability of algae to grow in different qualities of water, ...
Determination of Optimum Iron Requirement for Production of Microalgae Biomass as Biofuel Feedstock
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Microalgae biomass is considered as one of the promising alternative feedstock for biofuel production. The biomass productivity of some of the microalgae can exceed an order of magnitude compared to any other terrestrial ...
Qatar University culture collection: A source of biodiversity and numerous applications
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Microalgae are photosynthetic microorganisms that can grow in different environments (sea water, fresh water, waste water soil, rocks….) and under various conditions (Light, pH, temperature, salinity….). During their phases ...
Microalgae harvesting by pH adjusted coagulation-flocculation, recycling of the coagulant and the growth media
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Coagulation-flocculation can be considered as one of the least energy intensive microalgae biomass harvesting processes. However, cost of the coagulant and biomass contamination are two critical issues that need to be ...
Evidence of thermo and halotolerant Nannochloris isolate suitable for biodiesel production in Qatar Culture Collection of Cyanobacteria and Microalgae
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
The isolation of autochthonous microalgae, with high lipid-contents and biomass productivities is a crucial aspect of the development of commercial production of microalgae-based biodiesel as well as food security in ...
Microalgae biomass production in municipal wastewater and use of the produced biomass as sustainable biofertilizer
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Due to the lack of natural water sources, and cost and environmental issues associated with water desalination, Qatar currently emphasizes on the reuse of current wastewater sources, which includes conventional and ...
Utilization of Two Microalgae Species, Synechococcus sp. and Cheatoceros sp., for Aquatic Toxicity Assessments in the Qatari Marine Environmen
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Microalgal bioassays are currently used worldwide to help assess the impacts of contaminants on aquatic ecosystems. Algae are particularly important to such assessments because they represent the basic trophic level of the ...
