Morpho-biometric and biochemical responses in lettuce seedlings treated by different application methods of Chlorella vulgaris extract: foliar spray or root drench?

Ivana Puglisi et al.

Summary: Microalgae-based products applied as biostimulants have attracted the attention of researchers. This study evaluated the effect of two different methods of Chlorella vulgaris extract application (foliar spray and root drenching) on lettuce seedlings. The growth parameters, chlorophyll, carotenoid, and protein contents, as well as enzymatic activities involved in primary and secondary metabolism, were monitored. The results showed that both application methods positively influenced the growth and biochemical response of lettuce seedlings, although their mechanisms of action seemed to be different.

Microalgae cultivation using palm oil mill effluent as growth medium for lipid production with the effect of CO2supply and light intensity

Prakash Bhuyar et al.

Summary: Malaysia is a major producer and exporter of palm oil, generating millions of tons of palm oil mill effluent (POME) annually. POME, a major environmental pollutant, also contains nutrients and minerals suitable for microbial-based applications like wastewater treatment and biofuel production. Cultivating microalgae in enriched POME has been explored as an effective method to utilize POME and increase biomass yield for applications like biodiesel production.

Cytokinins as central regulators during plant growth and stress response

Si-Min Li et al.

Summary: Cytokinins are a class of phytohormones that regulate plant growth, development, and stress responses by interacting with transcription factors through a series of phosphorylation cascades. They also play a crucial role in crosstalk with other phytohormones to modulate plant development and stress reactions. This review provides a comprehensive overview of cytokinins as central regulators of plant biology and highlights areas for future research.

Summary: The use of microalgae in processing urban wastewater showed positive results, increasing the volume of wastewater treated per square meter and biomass productivity. Nutrient removal was significantly influenced by permeate rate, with nitrate production by nitrifying bacteria also contributing to ammonia removal. Detection of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria in the microalgae-bacteria samples further supported the efficiency of the system.
