Application

Alginic acid, alginate, is an anionic polysaccharide distributed widely in the cell walls of brown algae. Alginate is biocompatible and gels in the presence of divalent cations such as calcium making it useful for cell encapsulation and immobilization. Immobilized cells have use in bioproduction and bioremediation processes.

Other Notes

A straight-chain, hydrophilic, colloidal, polyuronic acid composed of guluronic and mannuronic acid residues.

High-density biomass production is currently only realized in biofilm-based photobioreactors. Harvest yields of whole biofilms are self-limited by daughter-upon-parent cell growth that hinders light and leads to respiratory biomass losses. In this work, we demonstrate a sustainable multi-harvest approach for

Bacteria are integral to marine carbon cycling. They transfer organic carbon to higher trophic levels and remineralise it into inorganic forms. Kelp forests are among the most productive ecosystems within the global oceans, yet the diversity and metabolic capacity of

Rapid reconstruction of functional microvasculature is the urgent challenge of regenerative medicine and ischemia therapy development. The purpose of this study was to provide an alternative solution for obtaining functional blood vessel networks in vivo, through assessing whether hydrogel-based microspheres
