Exploring the biostimulant potential of Scenedesmus sp. grown in wastewater: impacts on plant growth and photosynthetic activity of lettuce
(Elsevier, 2025-08)
Article
Open AccessMicroalgae can produce different biostimulant compounds, which might increase plant growth and make them tolerant to abiotic stress. The aim of this study is to assess the biostimulant capacity of microalgal biomass ... -
Robust strategy for bioplastic production from cyanobacteria-enriched microbiomes: insights from gene expression and population dynamics
(Elsevier, 2025-08-01)
Article
Open AccessIn this study, four cyanobacteria-rich microbiomes were evaluated in terms of PHB synthesis over 168 days. Despite applying consistent environmental and cultivation conditions to the cultures, significant differences in ... -
Carotenoids and biogas recovery from microalgae treating wastewater
(Elsevier, 2025-07)
Article
Open AccessThis study evaluated the potential of microalgal biomass grown in wastewater for carotenoid and biogas recovery in a biorefinery approach. Microalgal biomass was harvested from two pilot high rate algal ponds treating urban ... -
Microalgae cell wall hydrolysis using snailase and mechanical sand milling
(Elsevier, 2024-03)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe extraction of intracellular constituents from recalcitrant microalgae strains stands as a significant challenge and a crucial bottleneck in microalgae processing. This study presents a novel enzymatic approach coupling ... -
Exploring simultaneous production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and exopolysaccharides in cyanobacteria-rich microbiomes
(Elsevier, 2025-07)
Article
Open AccessThe aim of this study was to explore the viability of the dual production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and exopolysaccharides (EPS) by seven microbiomes rich in cyanobacteria. Our initial experiments involved to screen ... -
Environmental and economic benefits of using microalgae grown in wastewater as biofertilizer for lettuce cultivation
(Elsevier, 2025-05-01)
Article
Open AccessMineral fertilizers play a significant role in environmental pollution of soil and water bodies, prompting the scientific community to search for more sustainable alternatives. However, environmentally-friendly organic ... -
Cyanobacteria microbiomes for bioplastic production: critical review of key factors and challenges in scaling from laboratory to industry set-ups
(Elsevier, 2025-04)
Article
Open AccessCyanobacteria are photoautotrophic microorganisms capable of accumulating polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB). A novel approach for PHB production involves the exploration of cyanobacterial microbiomes, potentially reducing costs ... -
Application of digestate from low-tech digesters for degraded soil restoration: effects on soil fertility and carbon sequestration
(Elsevier, 2025-03)
Article
Open AccessThe application of digestate to soil represents a common practice for its recycling, but its application to degraded lands to achieve their restoration and sequester organic C into the soil is still almost unexplored. In ... -
Evaluating slow sand filtration for digestate post-treatment: a step toward safe agricultural reuse in rural communities in Colombia
(2025-03)
Article
Open AccessThe digestate from low-tech digesters may not be ready for a safe agricultural reuse due to the presence of pathogens and large amounts of potential contaminants for the environment, which calls for post-treatment processes ... -
Anaerobic co-digestion of hydrothermal liquefaction of aqueous phase with municipal sludge and dewatering centrate
(2025-02)
Article
Open AccessFor integrating hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of sludge treatment to municipal wastewater treatment plants, this study demonstrated the feasibility of thermophilic (55 °C) anaerobic co-digestion of liquid product of HTL ... -
Social life cycle assessment of low-tech digesters for biogas and biofertiliser production in small-scale farms
(Elsevier, 2025-03)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis study aimed to assess the social performance of a low-tech digester implemented in a small-scale farm in Colombia. To this aim, a Social Life Cycle Assessment framework was developed to evaluate two scenarios: i) ... -
Social life cycle assessment of drinking water: tap water, bottled mineral water and tap water treated with domestic filters
(2025-03)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe aim of this study was to develop a novel Social Life Cycle Assessment framework to assess the social impacts of different drinking water choices in the city of Barcelona (Spain): i) tap water; ii) bottled mineral water ...
