The ocean is vital for oxygen, food supply, and carbon storage. At its core is phytoplankton—microscopic algae that produce biomass through photosynthesis, using nutrients, CO2, and sunlight.

Diatoms, unicellular microalgae, stand out for their ability to convert light into vital energy through photosynthesis ...

Algae oil is a plant-based oil derived from algae, plant-like microorganisms that live in aquatic environments. When you think of algae, you might picture the green film that floats in ponds or covers ...

Photosynthesis, the process by which plants, algae and certain kinds of bacteria convert solar radiation into chemical energy, must adjust itself to changes in the intensity of sunlight ...

The method, proposed in a recently published study, leverages algae’s photosynthesis mechanism to produce oxygen, cutting energy costs by up to 90% compared to traditional aeration methods.

WaterNSW has issued a red alert after discovering high levels of potentially toxic algae in the Shoalhaven River. People have been advised to avoid eating shellfish, sparking concern for oyster ...

This allows the plant to capture and store carbon dioxide until the Sun rises again, offering the light necessary to complete photosynthesis. Algae are widely thought to conduct half of the world ...

Dr Neil Reid from Queen's University is wary of claims the algae has killed wildlife When the largest lake in the UK turns green, it's hard not to wonder about the effect on local wildlife.

Chlorophyll plays a critical role in photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert light into energy. While terrestrial plants typically produce chlorophylls a and b, marine algae and kelp ...

Ancient cyanobacteria were the first life form to develop photosynthesis and are responsible for injecting oxygen into the Earth’s environment, thereby laying the foundation for the emergence of the ...
