In order to design economically feasible production processes it is necessary, as part of the
biorefinery concept, to valorize all constituents of the microalgal biomass. Such an approach …

Essential fatty acids (EFA), which are primarily generated by phytoplankton, limit growth and
reproduction in diverse heterotrophs. The biochemical composition of phytoplankton is well …

Mass cultivation of algae for biofuel and other bioproduct production in outdoor, open
raceway ponds has some considerable economic advantages. However, these systems …

Demand for shrimp, particularly the eastern Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei
(Boone 1931), will continue to increase in Asian and worldwide seafood markets. Providing …

Despite the significant reduction in biomass production, nitrogen stress is the most feasible
strategy used for lipid enhancement in microalgae. The present study evaluates the potential …

Mangrove-dwelling microalgae are well adapted to frequent encounters of salinity
fluctuations across their various growth phases but are lesser studied. The current study …

Estuaries of major rivers provide important stopover habitat for migratory birds throughout
the world. These estuaries experience large amounts of freshwater inputs from spring runoff …

Two main parameters that structure the marine ecosystem by affecting species distribution,
abundance, community structure, timing of major life cycle events, and trophic state of the …

Climate change, energy use and food security are the main challenges that our society is
facing nowadays. Biofuels and feedstock from microalgae can be part of the solution if high …

This study investigated the biomass production process from the laboratory to the pilot scale
in order to use the nutrient-rich biomass of the diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii as live feed …
