Upstream bioprocessing of Spirulina platensis microalgae using rainwater and recycle medium from post-cultivation for C-phycocyanin production
Background The cultivation of microalgae represents a water-intensive process, prompting the need to reduce its water footprint and explore alternative water sources. Therefore, this research work aims to investigate the growth of Spirulina by recycling the culture medium obtained from the post-cultivation process and substituting rainwater resources for the preparation of the culture medium. Methods The effect of pre-treatment methods, specifically microfiltration…

Identification and characterization of Aspergillus niger causing collar rot of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea)
Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an economically important legume crop in Vietnam and many other countries worldwide. Groundnut cultivation is affected by many biotic and abiotic stresses. Among biotic stresses, groundnut is attacked by many fungal, bacterial and viral pathogens. The most harmful fungal diseases are rust, stem rot, collar rot and other soil borne diseases. Collar rot caused by Aspergillus niger is…

Microbial biodegradation of recalcitrant synthetic dyes from textile-enriched wastewater by Fusarium oxysporum
The present study reported the improvement of biological treatment for the removal of recalcitrant dyes including aniline blue, reactive black 5, orange II, and crystal violet in contaminated water. The biodegradation efficiency of Fusarium oxysporum was significantly enhanced by the addition of mediators and by adjusting the biomass density and nutrient composition. A supplementation of 1% glucose in culture medium improved the…
