The optimal conditions for cultivating Azolla in Malaysia are continuously characterised by a consistently humid climate, with an average daily temperature ranging from 21°C to 32°C. The optimal relative humidity for Azolla growth falls within the 85-90% range. However, excessively high humidity combined with elevated temperatures promotes the prol...

Algae represent the majority of the diversity on Earth and are a large group of organisms that have photosynthetic properties that are important to life. The species of algae are estimated to be more than 1 million, they play an important role in many fields such as agriculture, industry, food, medicine. It is important to determine the type of alg...

Growth in industrial production, urbanization, overexploitation of resources and inadequate waste management, has led to the emergence of many environmental issues. Among these, the generation of wastewaters from various sources causing pollution has been the most afflicting one. With the changing habits of people, the preference is shifting toward...

INTRODUCTION: Little is known about the mental health of Rohingya refugees attending the Malaysian Field Hospital primary health clinic after arriving in Bangladesh. The objectives of this study were to assess the prevalence of mental health disorders, somatic symptoms and to ascertain the determinants of mental health disorders among the Rohingya...

Microalgae species are the potential source to produce protein, carbohydrates, lipids, pigments as well as other metabolites that are currently obtained from conventional agriculture which is having many limitations in terms of sustainability. Algae are the emerging area of study and due to continuous and progressive research they are expected to b...

Cultivation of microalgae in wastewater is strongly related to the selection of suitable species for a specific type of wastewater. Thus, this study presented the cultivation of isolated microalgae strains, Acutodesmus obliquus CN01 and Desmodesmus maximus CN06 using municipal wastewater, along with Chlorella vulgaris NIES-1269 as the control speci...

The poster will provide an overview about the production of biomass and biofuels using chlorella vulgaris. The study will also elaborate the biotechnological aspects of chlorella vulgaris and its potential in the removal of various pollutants as well as nutrients.

Energy is indispensable for bringing competence, resilience, and comfort for the ever-advancing human lifestyle. Therefore, to satisfy the growing energy requirement researchers are trying to delve in exploring sustainable and renewable energy sources that will contribute to the reduction of carbon footprint and ultimately help to check the issue o...

Algae are well known photosynthetic organisms that are able to grow at various environmental conditions. Microalgae and macrophytes are two categories of algae generally having similar biological activities with several industrial advantages. In recent years, micro and macro algae have been increasingly used as animal fodder supplements for farm an...

One of the major advantages of biofuel over fossil fuel is that it is environmentally friendly but unfortunately most of the chemicals used in the pretreatment of lignocelluloses biomass to produce biofuel can cause adverse effects to the environment. In this study, ionic liquid was used for the pretreatment of cocoa waste. Its effectiveness in the...
