How Algae Produce Oxygen Algae, like land plants, contain chloroplasts with chlorophyll pigments that absorb sunlight. Chloroplasts are found within plant cells and algal cells, and are responsible for photosynthesis. Algae, like green plants, use chlorophyll to capture sunlight and produce oxygen. ...
Algae (photosynthetic organisms) can be found in almost any aquatic environment, such as ponds on golf courses. Depending on the type and level of growth, golf course pond algae can be beneficial and challenging. Therefore, here are some critical points about golf course pond ...
Particle Size Rhodomonas algae have medium cell sizes, which makes them an ideal food source for oyster larvae. The cells are well-suited for the small filtering apparatus of young oysters, allowing them to efficiently capture and consume the algae. ...
Varicon Aqua’s latest project is up and running in Hong Kong, with the installation led in person by our Managing Director, Joe McDonald. The client, Geb Impact Technology Company Limited, will be using two of our reactor systems, the Phyco-Lift and the Phyco-Pyxis, the latest in our range of innovative products. Geb Impact and Varicon Aqua have enjoyed a long professional relationship, ...
Though the actual growth rates and intensities for different points in this curve will vary depending on many factors the general shape is consistent (Fig 1). At low light intensities, algae will be limited by light availability and increasing the light will increase microalgae growth. ...
What are open and closed algae culture systems? The two broadest methods of culturing algae at medium to large scale are split into two styles of system: open and closed photobioreactors (PBRs). ...
Compared with the control pond, the experiment pond had better water quality as indicated by 64.2% reduction in chlorophyll a, and 81.1% reduction in algal cells. The chemical oxygen demand, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus concentration were reduced by 55.1%, 57.5%, and 50.8%, respectively. The treatment efficiency is mainly due to the growth control of Microcystis (i.e. ...
The alkalinity increase after 8 days might be due to the nitrate consumption, CO2 absorption and the algal release at stationary phases. The algal maximal cell density and population growth rate increased with initial pH values while the specific growth rate kept high without significant difference. ...
We examined the effects of pre-oxidation using ozone (O3) and a combination of O3 and hydrogen peroxide (O3/H2O2) on algae suspensions and their harvesting. Inactivation of algae cells, release of intracellular organic matter (IOM), mineralization of extracellular organic matter (EOM), and changes in molecular weight distribution of EOM were ...
LG Sonic uses ultrasound to control algal growth efficiently without these negative side effects. Green water algae are tiny, single celled organisms that cause the pond to resemble 'pea soup'. ...
Algae growth in irrigation water can cause a serious problem. Algae in irrigation tanks can clog the entire irrigation system, such as the pumps, filters, drip-installation and sprinkler nozzles. ...
