Flue gas from power plants is a cheap CO2 source for algal growth. We have built prototype "flue gas to algal cultivation" systems and described how to scale up the algal cultivation process. We have demonstrated the use of a mass-transfer bio-reaction model to simulate and to design the optimal operation of flue gas for the growth of Chlorella sp. in algal photo-bioreactors.

All-solid-state ion-selective electrodes (ASSISEs) constructed from a conductive polymer (CP) transducer provide several months of functional lifetime in liquid media. Here, we describe the fabrication and calibration process of ASSISEs in a lab-on-a-chip format. The ASSISE is demonstrated to have maintained a near-Nernstian slope profile after prolonged storage in complex biological media.

FAQs
Photosynthesis links environmental inputs with biological production: Chlorella sorokiniana uses light energy, carbon dioxide, and inorganic nutrients to form algal biomass. This relationship gives researchers a way to study carbon uptake and nutrient use together rather than as isolated processes. Its photosynthetic activity therefore underpins investigations of carbon capture, nutrient recovery, and biomass generation in environmental systems.
The alga’s cellular composition can support uptake of nutrients from aquatic environments, making nutrient movement into biomass an important environmental mechanism. This matters because nutrients present in water may become associated with biological material rather than remaining solely in the surrounding environment. Researchers can consequently examine the species in relation to nutrient recovery and the reduction of aquatic nutrient pollution.
Rapid growth can make Chlorella sorokiniana useful for evaluating processes that aim to generate algal biomass while addressing environmental inputs such as carbon dioxide and inorganic nutrients. A growing culture provides biomass in which these resources are incorporated through photosynthetic activity. This characteristic helps researchers assess whether the organism could support practical approaches to wastewater treatment, carbon capture, or bio-based production.
Studies can focus on growth, photosynthetic activity, nutrient uptake, and the resulting production of algal biomass. Together, these characteristics show how Chlorella sorokiniana responds to light, carbon dioxide, and inorganic nutrients while indicating its potential environmental function. Examining them in combination helps connect biological performance with outcomes such as nutrient recovery, pollutant reduction, and resource generation.
In wastewater-related research, Chlorella sorokiniana is relevant because its cells can take up nutrients from aquatic environments while producing biomass through photosynthesis. This creates a potential connection between reducing nutrients in wastewater and recovering them in a biological material. Researchers can therefore investigate whether algal cultivation supports pollutant reduction while also generating biomass with possible bio-based value.
The biomass produced by Chlorella sorokiniana can be studied as a renewable biological resource alongside environmental treatment processes. Its potential applications include wastewater treatment, nutrient recovery, carbon capture, and production of algal biomass for bio-based products. This combination is significant because it frames the species not only as a means of reducing environmental pollutants, but also as a source of usable biological material.
