South Africa’s rural wastewater treatment plants release polluted water if they aren’t maintained properly. Microalgae that purify the water could be a solution.
When sea ice forms later, the communities of tiny algae that live within it change too. Detecting these early signals now could help us adapt to a changing world.
As the ocean warms, toxic algal blooms are on the rise in the waters off New Zealand, causing the highest number of shellfish harvest closures in a decade.
Green algae carry drug-loaded nanoparticles directly to the lungs, reducing side effects in other organs and increasing treatment efficiency.
To fully understand the extent of climate-related dangers the Arctic – and our planet – is facing, we must focus on organisms too small to be seen with the naked eye.
The ocean absorbs a quarter of the CO₂ emitted by humans, thanks in particular to phytoplankton, including diazotrophs. Knowing how to model them is crucial to understanding the ocean’s role in climate.
The research reviewed the available evidence on microalgae as food supplements, livestock feeds, biofertilisers, biostimulants and biochar feedstocks.
Microalgae can take control, gather, and stick to microplastics on their surface, regardless of their size.
The inside of story of a pioneering programme to convert nitrogen into microalgae that can generate sustainable animal feed.
New developments in microalgae cultivation are helping to propel the potential of renewable biofuels to combat climate change.
Fish farms feed millions of people around the world, but they also consume a lot of fish that are dried or ground up to make aquafeed. Researchers are developing more sustainable alternatives.
While most corals turn ghostly white when they bleach, some turn neon purple. Scientists were baffled – until now.
Microalgae taste like grass and are packed with nutrients.
Soybean cultivation for animal feed is destroying rainforests across the world. Microalgae may be the Amazon’s closest ally.
