Microalgae biomass is a versatile option for a myriad of purposes, as it does not require farmable land for cultivation and due of its high CO fixation efficiency during growth. However, biomass harvesting is considered a bottleneck in the process because of its high cost. Magnetic harvesting is a promising method on account of its low cost, high harvesting speed, and efficiency, which can be used to improve the results of other harvesting methods. Here, we present the state of the art of the magnetic harvesting method. Detailed approaches involving different nanomaterials are described, including types, route of synthesis, and functionalization, variables that interfere with harvesting, and recycling methods of nanoparticles and medium. In addition to discussing the overall perspectives of the method, we provide a guideline for future research.

This study explores the role of α-Fe₂O₃ in improving extracellular electron transfer (EET) and symbiotic interactions between electroactive Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, its gene-deficient mutants (ΔmtrC, ΔomcA, and ΔcymA), and microalgae (Chlorella vulgaris). The iron oxide facilitates the efficient transfer of electrons generated by MR-1 to microalgal photosystem via the pathway of CymA-MtrC-OmcA to α-Fe₂O₃. This process enhances the removals of TOC, TN, and NH₄⁺-N in the MR-1 bacterial-algal consortium by 9.

Nanoplastics (NPs) in marine ecosystems have garnered increasing attention for their interference with the physiological processes of aquatic organisms. An in-depth examination of the toxicological responses of Nannochloropsis oceanica, a species vital to marine ecosystems, is essential due to the crucial role of lipid metabolism in carbon sequestration and energy allocation in microalgae. This study analyzed the toxicological responses of N.

Trophic conversion - a sequential cultivation strategy combining heterotrophic and phototrophic growth - offers a promising route for large-scale microalgae production by coupling the high biomass yields of heterotrophy with the biochemical advantages of phototrophy. Despite its potential, the cellular mechanisms governing this transition remain poorly understood. Here is presented the first mechanistic dissection of trophic conversion in Chlorella vulgaris, using isoactinic light conditions (30-600 µmol photons/m/s) and inocula with varied physiological states.
