Algal cellulose, production and potential use in plastics: Challenges and opportunities

Christian Ludwig, Horst Pick, Enio Daniel Zanchetta, Eya Nicodeme, Tobias Borgmeyer, Adrian Pulgarin

The development of new biodegradable plastic materials from renewable sources is a major challenge for plastic industries to provide sustainable alternatives to petroleum plastic. Bio-based plastics are generally obtained from photosynthetic biomass such a ...

Production of Algae for Biomaterials and Bioenergy: Closing the Nutrient Cycle and Enhancing the Light Utilisation Efficiency

Eya Nicodeme

Microalgae are small organisms that live in water and use solar energy or artificial light to grow. They are emerging to be one of the most promising long-term, sustainable sources of biomass for fuel, food, feed, and other high valuable co-products. Like ...

Model-based data analysis of the effect of winter mixing on primary production in a lake under reoligotrophication

Alfred Johny Wüest, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez, Camille Roland Marie Minaudo, Shubham Krishna

Nutrient loading, in combination with climate change are important drivers of primary productivity in lakes. Understanding and forecasting future changes in primary production (PP) in response to local and global forcing are major challenges for developing ...

Intracellular competition for nitrogen controls dinoflagellate population density in corals

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Thomas Krüger, Maoz Fine, Julia Marie Jeanne Yvonne Bodin, Maria-Evangelia Giovani

The density of dinoflagellate microalgae in the tissue of symbiotic corals is an important determinant for health and productivity of the coral animal. Yet, the specific mechanism for their regulation and the consequence for coral nutrition are insufficien ...

Flow and epiphyte growth effects on the thermal, optical and chemical microenvironment in the leaf phyllosphere of seagrass (Zostera marina)

Anna Depetris, Michael Kühl

Intensified coastal eutrophication can result in an overgrowth of seagrass leaves by epiphytes, which is a major threat to seagrass habitats worldwide, but little is known about how epiphytic biofilms affect the seagrass phyllosphere. The physico-chemical ...

Effects of temperature on tidally influenced coastal unconfined aquifers

David Andrew Barry, Li Pu, Chenming Zhang

Aquifer-ocean temperature contrasts are common worldwide. Their effects on flow and salinity distributions in unconfined coastal aquifers are, however, poorly understood. Based on laboratory experiments and numerical simulations, we examined the responses ...

Heterotrophy in the earliest gut: a single-cell view of heterotrophic carbon and nitrogen assimilation in sponge-microbe symbioses

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig

Sponges are the oldest known extant animal-microbe symbiosis. These ubiquitous benthic animals play an important role in marine ecosystems in the cycling of dissolved organic matter (DOM), the largest source of organic matter on Earth. The conventional vie ...

A combined hydrothermal gasification - solid oxide fuel cell system for sustainable production of algal biomass and energy

François Maréchal, Jan Van Herle, Christian Ludwig, Shivom Sharma, Eya Nicodeme, Hossein Madi

Hydrothermal gasification (HTG) is a promising technology that allows the recovery of nutrients from wet biomass with simultaneous production of an energy-rich gas. In this work, wastewater effluent (leachate) obtained from a composter sanitary system oper ...
