Comparative Removal of PE, PS, and PET Microplastics by Dried Microalgal and Cyanobacterial Biomass
Research Question
How do microplastic polymer types (PS, PET, PE) affect the removal efficiency of microplastics by dried Chlorella vulgaris (unicellular) and Arthrospira platensis (filamentous) biomass during the first three hours of exposure?

Starvation-Induced Shifts in Phytoplankton Swimming Behavior
Research Question
How does nutrient starvation alter the swimming and sinking behavior of the motile green alga Tetraselmis sp., specifically the direction and speed of their movement?
