Industrial wastewater is a challenge—but also an opportunity.

Carbelim uses microalgae to naturally treat effluents, reduce carbon emissions, and generate useful biomass.

A cleaner, smarter solution

Here is our latest #article, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1111/1758-2229.70290.

We systematically collected literature, and used network component analysis to map microalgal axenisation methods and identify antibiotic-free workflows. We could identify clear workflows for diatoms and dinoflagellates, but other #microalgae groups were poorly represented or the methods were sparsely used. We further present practical experiences and opinions from culture banks.

Scientists uncover hidden role of microalgae in spreading antibiotic resistance in waterways

Antibiotic resistance is widely recognized as one of the greatest global public health threats, but scientists are now uncovering an unexpected contributor to the problem living quietly in rivers, lakes, and coastal waters. A new review highlights how microalgae, microscopic photosynthetic organisms that support aquatic food webs, may also help concentrate and spread antibiotic resistance genes in natural water environments.

Yaay, new publication!
We use network component analysis to map microalgal axenisation methods and identify antibiotic-free workflows, with clear strategies for diatoms and dinoflagellates. The study highlights gaps in reporting and calls for stronger experimental validation.
