CRISPR-enhanced microalgae for carbon sequestration and carotenoid production: opportunities and fundamental constraints

Microalgae represent a promising biological platform for CO2 sequestration and the sustainable production of high-value metabolites, particularly carotenoids such as lutein and astaxanthin. However, industrial performance remains constrained by low carbon conversion efficiency, reduced photosynthetic performance, and c...

Next generation lighting strategies for enhanced high-value astaxanthin production from Haematococcus pluvialis

Next-generation microalgae biorefinery: innovations in sustainable astaxanthin, biofuel, and aquafeed production

The study explores advancements in bioprocess engineering, metabolic regulation, and novel extraction techniques to enhance astaxanthin yield while minimizing resource inputs, and the valorization of residual biomass post-extraction for sustainable fish feed and/or biofuel development is examined, offering a circular a...

Utilization of Spent Coffee Waste Biomass as a Promising Feedstock in Bioplastics Production Using Cupriavidus necator

The increasing demand for sustainable bioplastics is constrained by the high production costs associated with refined carbon sources, highlighting the need for low-cost, renewable feedstocks. This study evaluated the potential of spent coffee grounds (SCG), an abundant and sustainable feedstock for generating polyhydro...
