  1. 1. Production of natural pigments from A. platensis grown on wastewater from local treatment facility.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik

    Author : Hana Faulds; [2023]
    Keywords : Cyanobacteria; pigments; microalgae; wastewater treatment; biotechnology; Technology and Engineering; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Although microalgae have been considered for the biological treatment of wastewater since the 1950’s, their potential to efficiently remove pollutants from various streams remains largely untapped and is yet to be utilized at large scale. The production of algal biomass and extraction of high-value compounds has, however, become increasingly popular with large scale farms and biorefineries around the world producing many promising alternatives to petroleum-based products and processes.

  3. 2. Microbial strains from compost originated from circulated side streams : impact on root growth and root hairs

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Benjamin Pettersson; [2023]
    Keywords : Spent Mushroom Compost; Circulated side streams; Botrytis cinerea; Circular Bioeconomy; Soil health;

    Abstract : Spent mushroom compost, apple waste and other organic waste materials are of great potential to improve soil health, water holding capacity and to supress plant pathogens. Today compost is used in apple orchards as an additional fertilizer or soil amendment. READ MORE

  4. 3. Quality of Spent Mushroom Compost Amended with Organic Material- Effect on Nutrient Content and Plant Growth

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Abstract : Peat, as a non-renewable growing media, poses environmental concerns due to extraction and decomposition processes, leading to increased greenhouse gas emissions. Alternatives growing media with potential to replace or reduce the use of peat are of great need. READ MORE

  5. 4. Odlingsförsök med Pinus sylvestris i gransågspån blandat med hydrokol respektive pyrokol

    University essay from SLU/School for Forest Management

    Author : Annica Berglund; Ninja Bernzen; [2023]
    Keywords : alternativt odlingssubstrat; näringsläckage; biokol;

    Abstract : Torv är det vanligaste odlingssubstratet som används idag till de mer än 400 miljoner skogsplantor som årligen levereras till det svenska skogsbruket. Det låga näringsinnehållet och goda vattenhållande förmågan gör att torven går att anpassa efter behov med gödsling och kalkning. READ MORE

  6. 5. Review of pH recommendations for soilless cultivation systems

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Author : Elric Fabricius; [2023]
