Zirconium alginate/graphene oxide (ZA/GO) hydrogel spheres were prepared by crosslinking sodium alginate and GO with Zr 4+ . Then Zr 4+ on the surface of the ZA/GO substrate acted as the metal nucleation site of the UiO-67 crystal and interacted with the organic ligand biphenyl 4-4′-dicarboxylic acid (BPDC) to make UiO-67 grow in situ on the surface of the ZA/GO hydrogel sphere by the hydrothermal method . The BET surface areas of ZA/GO, ZA/UiO-67, and ZA/GO/UiO-67 aerogel spheres were 1.29, 47.71, and 89.33 m 2 /g respectively. The maximum adsorption capacities of ZA/GO, ZA/UiO-67, and ZA/GO/UiO-67 aerogel spheres for methylene blue (MB) at room temperature (298 K) were 145.08, 307.49, and 1105.23 mg/g respectively. The kinetic analysis showed that the adsorption process of MB on the ZA/GO/UiO-67 aerogel sphere was consistent with the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. Isotherm analysis showed that MB was adsorbed on ZA/GO/UiO-67 aerogel spheres as a single layer. Thermodynamic analysis showed that the adsorption process of MB on the ZA/GO/UiO-67 aerogel sphere was exothermic and spontaneous. Adsorption of MB on ZA/GO/UiO-67 aerogel spheres is mainly dependent on π-π bond, electrostatic interaction, and hydrogen bond . After 8 cycles, ZA/GO/UiO-67 aerogel spheres still showed high adsorption performance and good reuse ability.

There are many studies on the toxic effects of single nanoparticles on microalgae; however, many types of nanoparticles are present in the ocean, and more studies on the combined toxic effects of multiple nanoparticles on microalgae are needed. The single and combined toxic effects of nCu and nSiO 2 on Dunaliella salina were investigated through changes in instantaneous fluorescence rate (Ft) and antioxidant parameters during 96-h growth inhibition tests. It was found that the toxic effect of nCu on D. salina was greater than that of nSiO 2 , and both showed time and were dose-dependent with the greatest growth inhibition at 96 h. A total of 0.5 mg/L nCu somewhat promoted the growth of microalgae, but 4.5 and 5.5 mg/L nCu showed negative growth effects on microalgae. The Ft of D. salina was also inhibited by increasing concentrations of nanoparticles and exposure time. nCu suppressed the synthesis of TP and elevated the MDA content of D. salina , which indicated the lipid peroxidation of algal cells. The activities of SOD and CAT showed a trend of increasing and then decreasing with the increase of nCu concentration, suggesting that the enzyme activity first increased and then decreased. The toxic effect of a high concentration of nCu was reduced after the addition of nSiO 2 . SEM and EDS images showed that nSiO 2 could adsorb nCu in seawater. nSiO 2 also adsorbed Cu 2+ in the cultures, thus reducing the toxic effect of nCu on D. salina to a certain extent. TEM image was used to observe the morphology of algal cells exposed to nCu.

Microalgal lipid is considered as a potential biodiesel resource due to its advantages compared to other bioresources. The production of biofuel from microalgae includes several stages like microalgae cultivation, biomass harvest, biomass treatment, lipid extraction, and the ultimate biodiesel synthesis. Lipid extraction is closely associated with the productivity and cost of energy production. In the present study, lipid of green algae Dunaliella tertiolecta was extracted by chemical agents with involvement of ultrasound and microwave. The optimization of experimental conditions was carried out by response surface methodology and orthogonal test design. Using the ultrasonic technique, an extraction rate of 45.94% was obtained under the optimum conditions of ultrasonic power 370 W, extraction time 5 min and liquid/solid ratio 125 mL/g. The extraction rate of 57.02% was obtained by the means of microwave assistance under the optimized conditions of extraction time 160 s, microwave power 490 W and liquid/solid ratio 100 mL/g. The comparison of the two results indicated microwave was more effective than ultrasound in extracting process. When the two techniques were utilized in combination, the optimized condition was ultrasonic power 320 W, ultrasonic time 4 min, microwave power 280 W, microwave time 120 s and liquid/solid ratio 100 mL/g, and the extraction rate was 49.97%.

To effectively improve biomass growth and flue-gas CO 2 fixation of microalgae, acid-tolerant Euglena gracilis was modified with cobalt-60 γ-ray irradiation and polyethylene glycol (PEG) adaptive screening to obtain the mutant strain M800. The biomass dry weight and maximum CO 2 fixation rate of M800 were both 1.47 times higher than that of wild strain, which was attributed to a substantial increase in key carbon fixation enzyme RuBisCO activity and photosynthetic pigment content. The high charge separation quantum efficiency in PSII reaction center, efficient light utilization and energy regulation that favors light conversion, were the underlying drivers of efficient photosynthetic carbon fixation in M800. M800 had stronger antioxidant capacity in sufficient high-carbon environment, alleviating lipid peroxidation damage. After adding 1 mM PEG, biomass dry weight of M800 reached 2.31 g/L, which was 79.1 % higher than that of wild strain. Cell proliferation of M800 was promoted, the apoptosis and necrosis rates decreased.

Dunaliella salina is a promising microbial host for the sustainable production of bioenergy and valuable compounds. D. salina can be mixotrophically cultivated using a pure organic carbon source. However, pure organic carbon sources remarkably enhance the cost of cultivation and constrain the development of upscale microalgal cultivation. This study examined the feasibility of using low-value food waste supplemented with fulvic acid in D. salina mixotrophic cultivation for lipid and carotenoid accumulation. The glucose-rich hydrolysate was first obtained via enzymatic hydrolysis from selected food waste. This hydrolysate was an appropriate source of organic carbon for microalgal mixotrophy based on a two-stage cultivation strategy for investigating the biomass and accumulation of valuable products. In addition, fulvic acid, which contains oxygen-rich and carbon-poor functional groups, was used in the second stage to maximise the production of biomass (3.1 ± 0.2 g/L), lipids (0.75 ± 0.03 g/L) and carotenoids (0.52 ± 0.03 g/L). The biodiesel quality of the lipid derived from D. salina biomass based on food waste hydrolysate met the previously approved standards. These data illustrate a sustainable and efficient algal-based food waste biorefinery strategy for the co-production of bioenergy and bioactive compounds, and offer key insights to address the issues of global food waste and algal-based resource utilisation.

The CO 2 chemical absorption and microalgae conversion (CAMC) system can achieve low-energy consumption CO 2 capture and resource utilization, but the study on enhancing the synthesis of high-value products has been overlooked. In this study, the coupling strategy of nitrogen stress and exogenous phytohormones was applied to induce high-value products accumulation of Dunaliella salina in CAMC system, and the potential mechanism was also discussed. The results showed that phytohormones could promote D. salina growth by alleviating the oxidative damage under nitrogen limited treatment, especially in gibberellin (GA) group, and the biomass increased by 10.24%. In addition, phytohormones combined nitrogen limited changed carbon flow, directing more carbon to polysaccharose synthesis, supplementation with GA under nitrogen-limited conditions resulted in a 1.65-fold increase in polysaccharide content in D. salina compared to the control. Furthermore, supplementation with GA under nitrogen-limited conditions enhanced the accumulation of β-carotene, and the β-carotene yield and content were 18.52% and 14.46% higher than control. This study suggested that GA could further affect carbon metabolism and products synthesis of D. salina under nitrogen stress, and provided a possible insight in improving the production of economical metabolites in CAMC system.
