Effect of carbon-based nanomaterial on growth of microalgae and production of exopolysaccharides

Microalgae are a source of numerous compounds that can be used in different industries. Significantly, microalgae can produce exopolysaccharides (EPS) and the synthesis of EPS can be amplified under several stress conditions. Carbon- based nanomaterials have attracted great deal of interests by rese...
