Hunting for extremophiles: a systematic screening of freshwater microalgae for tolerance to high pH and high alkalinity cultivation

Patrick K. Thomas, Robin Gerlach, Anita Narwani

The paper screens 49 freshwater microalgae strains for growth under high pH and alkalinity conditions, identifying new alkaline-tolerant strains and showing that some non-extremophilic algae can thrive in extreme environments.
