Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most diffused among rare neurological pathologies, as it affects about 0.031% people all over the world. Its prevalence in the United States (US) was calculated to be around 0.14%, but according to National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS) MS is not properly monitored and registered within American territory and...

Chlorella vulgaris was grown in a two specially-designed bench-scale photobioreactors with and without the application of a low intensity, low frequency electromagnetic field (EM-ELF) of about 3 mT. Cell concentration and tendency of cells to form aggregates inside the reactor were recorded over a 30 days-time period at 0.5 L-constant medium...

Chlorella vulgaris was cultivated in two different 2.0 L-helicoidal and horizontal photobioreactors at 5 klux using the bicarbonate contained in the medium and ambient air as the main CO2 sources. The influence of bicarbonate concentration on biomass growth as well as lipid content and profile was first investigated in shake flasks, where the...

L'obiettivo dello studio è stato l'impiego di bicarbonato di sodio come fonte alternativa di carbonio in colture di Chlorella vulgaris, usualmente realizzate con la sola CO2. La microalga è stata inoculata in beuta e fatta crescere per 15 giorni in colture batch in presenza di NaHCO3 (0.2, 0.4 e 0.8 g/L), mantenendola in sospensione mediante...

The most common method to deal with the huge production of municipal wastes is still the disposal in landfills which, however, generates a leachate with high contents of organic and nitrogen pollutants. Requirements must be fixed by law to control leachate release from such landfills, and effective treatment processes and technologies must be...

Some by-products of wine industry still contain nutrients and functional compounds that make them potential ingredients to formulate new high value-added food products. The aim of this study is to develop milk fermented with Lactobacillus acidophilus fortified with marc flour of different cultivars of Vitis vinifera from wine production and to...
