New Paper on photosynthetic upgrading of biogas

New paper ‘Selecting optimal algal strains for robust photosynthetic upgrading of biogas under temperate oceanic climates’ led by PhD student Muhammad Nabeel Haider in the Journal of Biotechnology Advances (Elsevier). 

Co-authors and mentors in contributing towards this publication include , Linda O’Higgins, Richard O’Shea, Lorraine Archer, María del Rosario Rodero, Nikita Verma, Dr. Muhammad Aamer Mehmood, and David Wall.

Highlights

  • Selection of algae for low-temperature photosynthetic biogas upgrading explored.
  • Anabaena sp. and Phormidium sp. are optimal species.
  • Oscillatoria sp., Spirulina sabsalsa, and Leptolyngbya sp. are potential species.
  • Adaptive lab evolution could enhance the performance of an algal strain.
  • Abiotic stresses can enhance growth and production of high-value metabolites.
