The potential applications of cyanobacterial photosynthesis for clean technologies
Abstract
Natural photosynthesis may be adapted to advantage in the development of clean energy technologies. Efficient biocatalysts that can be used in solar energy conversion technologies are the cyanobacteria. Photobioreactors incorporating cyanobacteria have been used to demonstrate (a) the production of hydrogen gas, (b) the assimilation of CO2 with the production of algal biomass, (c) the excretion of ammonium, and (d) the removal of nitrate and phosphate from contaminated waters.

Cyanobacteria have been applied as bioremediation agents to remove heavy metals from aquatic ecosystems and reduce excess phosphate and nitrate in farmlands.
“Moreover, cyanobacteria have been applied as bioremediation agents to remove heavy metals from aquatic ecosystems and reduce the excess of phosphate and nitrate in farmlands (Hall et al. 1995; Ono and Cuello 2007).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
