Winter Season Outdoor Cultivation of an Autochthonous Chlorella-Strain in a Pilot-Scale Prototype for Urban Wastewater Treatment
No full textThe global population increase during the last century has significantly amplified freshwater demand, leading to higher wastewater (WW) production. European regulations necessitate treating WW before environmental. Microalgae have gained attention for wastewater treatment (WWT) due to their efficiency in remediating nutrients and pollutants, alongside producing valuable biomass. This study investigates the phycoremediation potential of a Chlorella-like strain isolated from urban WW in a 600L-scale system under winter conditions. Experiments in December 2021 and February 2022 tested the strain’s adaptability to varying environmental conditions, particularly temperatures (min-max temperature range: from −3.69 to 10.61 °C in December and −3.96 to 17.61 °C in February), and its ability to meet legal discharge limits. In December, low temperatures algal growth. Nitrates showed an RE of about 92%, while ammonia slightly decreased (RE, about 32%), and phosphorous remained unchanged. In February, mild temperatures increased algal density (33.3 × 106 cell mL−1) and, at the end of experiment, all nutrients were below legal limits with very high RE % (NH4+, 91.43; PO43− 97.32). Both trials showed an E. coli RE, % = 99%. The study highlights the potential of microalgae for WWT and the importance of considering seasonal variations when implementing these systems
Interaction between environmental stresses on Phaeodactylum tricornutum: applications for green economy
No full textMicroalgae are proposed for multiple biotechnological applications, e.g. as feed for aquaculture, thanks to their ability to produce high-value molecules, such as proteins, lipids and polyphenols. Among microalgae, diatoms produce biomass rich in lipid and fucoxanthin, have a high growth rate, and are the only known organisms to produce a porous silica cell wall. This unique cell wall is itself a promising material, currently being studied as a nanomaterial for different applications, e.g. membrane filtration. Phaeodactylum tricornutum is peculiar among diatoms thanks to its ability to change morphotypes under different environmental conditions, with only one morphotype being silicified. It is also widely known that abiotic stress can enhance the accumulation of valuable metabolites. Thus, P. tricornutum plasticity makes it an optimal candidate for multiple biotechnological applications. In this work, we studied light and salinity stress interactions on the growth of P. tricornutum

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
