  • Engineering microalgae for water phosphorus recovery to close the phosphorus cycle

    5 days ago - By Wiley

    Summary
    As a finite and non-renewable resource, phosphorus is essential to all life and crucial for crop growth and food production. The boosted agricultural use and associated loss of P to the aquatic environment are increasing environmental pollution, harming ecosystems, and threatening future global food security. Thus, recovering and reusing P from water bodies is urgently needed to close the P cycle. As a natural, eco-friendly, and sustainable reclamation strategy, microalgae-based biological P recovery is considered a promising solution. However, the low P-accumulation capacity and...
