Abstract:
... Landscape ponds often suffer from the overgrowth of nuisance algae (including cyanobacteria). The use of Solidago canadensis L. as an algicide in a natural water column was evaluated in this study. The results show that when S. canadensis L. extracts were added to the outdoor enclosures, Microcystis biomass decreased by more than 70% after 5d and more than 80% after 25d. The initial negative effec ...

Abstract:
... The exploitation of macroalgal biomass could provide novel environment-friendly molecules to prevent bacterial biofilm formation. Crude extracts, or polysaccharides, from the DNA-barcoded macroalgae Chaetomorpha aerea (Chlorophyta), and Agardhiella subulata and Hypnea cornuta (Rhodophyta) collected from the coastal brackish Lake of Ganzirri (Italy) were evaluated for their effects on biofilm forma ...

Abstract:
... Sludge pyrolysis carbonization has shown potential to convert sludge biomass into multifunctional carbon materials. However, ecological risks of dissolved organic matters (DOMs) with obscure molecular characteristics retaining in sludge-based carbons (SBCs) have received little attention. This study investigated the impact of pyrolysis temperatures on the molecular conversion and biotoxicity effec ...

Abstract:
... In the last decades, cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs) pose an intensifying ecological threat. Microcystis aeruginosa is a common CyanoHAB species in freshwater ecosystems, with severe toxic effects in a wide range of organisms. In the present paper we examined whether transient and short (48 h) exposure of fish embryos to sublethal levels of M. aeruginosa crude extract (200 mg bioma ...
