Article Abstract
Prior research has emphasized the potential of microalgae in biodiesel production, driven by their ability to replace fossil fuels. However, the significant costs associated with microalgae cultivation present a major obstacle to scaling up production. This study aims to develop an eco-friendly microalgae cultivation system by integrating carbon dioxide from flue gas emissions with an affordable photobioreactor, providing a sustainable biomass production. The research evaluates the growth performance of Chlorella sorokiniana and Chlorella vulgaris across this integrated system for biomass and lipid production. Results indicate substantial biomass yields of 1.97 and 1.84 g/L, with lipid contents of 35 % and 41 % for C. sorokiniana and C. vulgaris, respectively. The macrobubble photobioreactor demonstrates high potential for microalgae biomass and lipid production, yielding quality fatty acid methyl esters such as palmitic, linoleic and stearic. This study presents an environmentally friendly system for efficient microalgae cultivation, generating lipid-rich biomass suitable for biodiesel production.

Colorectal cancer ranks among the most prevalent and lethal malignant tumors globally. Historically, the incidence of colorectal cancer in China has been lower than that in developed European and American countries; however, recent trends indicate a rising incidence due to changes in dietary patterns and lifestyle. Lipids serve critical roles in human physiology, such as energy provision, cell membrane formation, signaling molecule function, and hormone synthesis.

Terminalia arjuna, an important medicinal plant in traditional Indian systems, has been extensively studied for its cardioprotective bark. However, limited attention has been given to its fruit, which contains several biologically active phytochemicals with potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties. This study aimed to isolate and partially purify phytoactive compounds from the fruit of T.

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.
