Assessment of the intrinsic bioremediation capacity of a complexly contaminated Yamuna River of India: a algae-specific approach

Enhancing algal production strategies: strain selection, AI-informed cultivation, and mutagenesis

“…The inception involves collecting samples from diverse aquatic and terrestrial habitats. Freshwater, terrestrial, and marine environments, including soil (Leitner et al, 2022), lakes (Berges et al, 2021), rivers (Kumar et al, 2023), and coastal areas (Nelson et al, 2017), serve as rich sources for novel microalgal isolates; although, microalgae can be isolated from harsh environments including desert sand (Nelson et al, 2019), cryospheric (Nelson et al, 2013) or lithospheric (Häubner et al, 2006) surfaces, as shown in Table 1. In sample collection, exemplified in Figure 1, the documentation of each collection site's geographical coordinates, temperature, pH, and salinity provides essential context for downstream studies.…”
