Biosorption of heavy metal ions from aqueous solution by red macroalgae

The biomass of marine algae has been reported to have high biosorption capacities for a number of heavy metal ions. In this study, four species of red seaweeds Corallina mediterranea, Galaxaura oblongata, Jania rubens and Pterocladia capillacea were examined to remove Co(II), Cd(II), Cr(III) and Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution.

Evaluation of antioxidant properties of Chlorella vulgaris and Spirulina platensis and their application in order to extend the shelf life of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fillets during refrigerated storage

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the antioxidant effect of alcoholic extract of Chlorella vulgaris and Spirulina platensis on extending the shelf life of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fillet in 4 ± 1°C. The experiments were performed on 5 samples (1 blank and 4 treatments) and in triplicate.

The Uses of Chlorella Vulgaris as Antimicrobial Agent and as a Diet: the Presence of Bio-active Compounds which caters the Vitamins, Minerals in General

The extracted and dried green micro algae by using solvents Acetone, Ethanol and Chloroform assy is tested to know its efficiency against four bacterial strains under the cultured condions by adopting the standard agar disc diffusion technique. These agar plates are incubated at 37°C for 24 hour duration with four test bacterial strains in 10ml each of Acetone,Ethanol and Chloroform with extracted green micro algae.
