TL;DR

This study evaluated carbon supplementation and increased nitrogen concentrations and substitution of conventional N, P, K, and Mg sources with agricultural fertilizers to develop a cost-effective formulation for pilot-scale applications and found F4, containing ammonium nitrate, potassium sulfate, and monoammonium phosphate, showed the best growth performance.

From waste to resource: agricultural potential of Limnospira platensis (spirulina) leftovers in chicory cultivation

Large-scale production of Limnospira platensis (spirulina) for high-value compounds such as C-phycocyanin generates substantial amounts of underexploited residual biomass. Aligned with circular economy, this study evaluated the agricultural upcycling of industrial L. platensis residual biomass (POST) as a biofertilizer...

Comparative analysis of novel MBN medium for Chlorella vulgaris cultivation: Growth dynamics and fatty acid profiles

Microalgae cultivation underpins various commercial applications, yet studies exploring media composition that provides a balanced growth and lipid composition scarcely appear in the literature. This study evaluated a novel low-cost medium (MBN, molasses, baker’s yeast and NPK fertilizer) at three strengths against sta...

Biochemical Profile of Limnospira platensis Cultivated Under Elevated CO2 with the Addition of Sodium Selenite

Overall, a method for producing L. platensis biomass with a controlled Se content has been demonstrated and Na2SeO3 concentrations of 10–40 mg/L are recommended for producing Se-enriched biomass, balancing productivity, nutritional quality, and elemental safety.

Integration of domestic wastewater and native Tetradesmus obliquus for bioremediation and production of biomass rich in protein and polyunsaturated fatty acids

The present study supports the potential to integrate domestic wastewater treatment with the cultivation of a native Tetradesmus obliquus strain and indicates that, under the evaluated conditions, both the wastewater treatment conditions and the initial inoculum density influenced bioremediation performance and the bio...

Optimizing Quinoa Cultivation: Combined NPK Fertilization as a Key Agronomic Practice Steering Yield, Growth, and Nutritional Quality

Background: Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.), valued as a nutrient-dense grain, has seen expanded cultivation in China. However, its yield and quality are often unstable due to suboptimal fertilization practices, and the specific regulatory roles of macronutrients (N, P, K) remain unclear. This study aimed to elucida...
