RUDN University biologists studied how microalgae absorb phosphorus after a period of phosphorus deficiency, how the rate of cell division and the production of “internal reserves” of phosphorus in the form of polyphosphate granules changes. Results of the study can help in the development of biotechnological methods of wastewater treatment from phosphorus fertilizers. The study is published in the journal Algal Research.
