A review of technologies for closing the P loop in agriculture runoff: contributing to the transition towards a circular economy
(2022-04)
Article
Open AccessPhosphorus (P) scarcity and the environmental hazards posed by P discharges have triggered the development of technologies for P sequestration and removal from waste streams. Agriculture runoff usually has P concentrations ... -
Bioplastic production by harnessing cyanobacteria-rich microbiomes for long-term synthesis
(Elsevier, 2024-12)
Article
Open AccessDeparting from the conventional axenic and heterotrophic cultures, our research ventures into unexplored territory by investigating the potential of photosynthetic microbiomes for polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) synthesis, a ... -
Enhancing pigment production with cyanobacteria-rich microbiomes: effect of light quality and exposure time
(Elsevier, 2024-10)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyCyanobacteria-rich microbiomes may stand as a cost-effective source of pigments, as they exhibit improved stability in comparison to monocultures and do not require sterile media to grow. However, these bioproduct sources ... -
New strategy for bioplastic and exopolysaccharides production: enrichment of field microbiomes with cyanobacteria
(Elsevier, 2023-12)
Article
Open AccessSeven photosynthethic microbiomes were collected from field environmental samples to test their potential in polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and exopolysaccharides (EPS) production, both alternatives to chemical-based polymers. ... -
Photosynthetic species composition determines bioplastics production in microbiomes: strategy to enrich cyanobacteria PHB-producers
(Elsevier, 2024-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe aim of this study was to set the operating mode in regards to nutrients, temperature and light to use as a strategy to enrich a microbiome rich in cyanobacteria in polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB)-producers in order to enhance ... -
Process optimization of the polyhydroxybutyrate production in the cyanobacteria Synechocystis sp. and Synechococcus sp.
(Elsevier, 2022-07)
Article
Open AccessThe effect of four parameters (acetate, NaCl, inorganic carbon and days in darkness) affecting the polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production were tested and optimized for Synechococcus sp. and Synechocystis sp. using a Box-Behnken ...
