    Dry microalgal biomass was previously tested as prebiotic to enhance the growth of probiotic bacteria. However, the drying process could be ineffective for scaling up probiotic production. This study aimed to investigate the use of fresh, pretreated microalgal biomass to promote the growth of Lactobacillus plantarum JCM 1149. Chlorella sp. KLSc61 cells were pretreated by three different methods: physical treatment with microwave radiation at power levels of 300, 500, and 700 W; chemical treatment with 0.1 M citric acid and 0.5 M sodium hydroxide; and biological treatment with cellulase enzyme. The 2.5% pretreated Chlorella cells were then added to L. plantarum JCM 1149 culture, and the growth was observed at 37 °C for 24 h of incubation. The results showed that, during the log phase (6-10 h), Chlorella cells pretreated with microwave radiation at 700 W were the most effective in promoting L. plantarum JCM 1149 growth, which was 1.4- and 1.5-fold of L. plantarum JCM 1149 without adding Chlorella and with untreated cells, respectively. Extension of the pretreatment time by microwave radiation at 700 W from up to 2 min increased the growth of L. plantarum JCM 1149 up to 1.8-fold of pretreatment time by microwave radiation at 700 W 1 min, compared to the control groups. Additionally, increasing the amount of Chlorella biomass up to 5% (w/v) extended the log phase of L. plantarum JCM 1149 and increased cell accumulation during the stationary phase. Unlike dry microalgal biomass, the simplicity of fresh, pretreated Chlorella biomass shown in this study may facilitate large-scale, commercial production of L. plantarum strains as probiotics.

    Hydrogen produced from microalgae is attracting the attention of scientists as a potential new ‘Bio-Circular-Green’ energy source. We screened a selection of naturally occurring algal strains for H<inf>2</inf> yield as a basis for high yield development. The best strain was a new strain of biohydrogen-producing green algae from a fresh water source at King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, Thailand. Using morphological and 18S rDNA sequencing analyses, this alga was identified and classified as Chlorella sp. KLSc61. When adapted cells in TAP-K medium (with starting pH at 9.0) containing 25 mM ethanol, with 54 μmol photons m<sup>−2</sup> s<sup>−1</sup> light, and incubated at 35 °C, Chlorella sp. KLSc61 showed a maximum H<inf>2</inf> yield of 9,804 ± 469.5 μmol H<inf>2</inf> mg<sup>−1</sup> Chl at day 7. Under these conditions, the cells produced ~ 12.2 times more H<inf>2</inf> gas than without optimization (753.0 μmol H<inf>2</inf> mg<sup>−1</sup>Chl). Our optimized system also produced H<inf>2</inf> at a rate 11–570 times greater than previously reported microalgae. Thus Chlorella sp. KLSc61 could be a viable strain for biohydrogen production as a clean future energy source.
