Threats posed to humans-including environmental pollution, water scarcity, food shortages,
and resource crises drive a new concept to think about wastewater and its treatment …

Starch and lipids are key components of algal cells and responsible for buffering variable
supplies of energy and carbon that are vital for cell growth and reproduction, particularly …

The reliable and efficient production of microalgae in large-scale commercial culture,
whether in open ponds or in closed photobioreactors, requires a good understanding of the …

In this study, the effects of P concentration and light/dark condition on the distribution of P in
microalgae were tracked with Scenedesmus sp. 393. Results showed that different culture …

Background Microalgae are a promising platform for producing neutral lipids, to be used in
the application for biofuels or commodities in the feed and food industry. A very promising …

Abstract Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) is currently discussed as promising technology for mild
and scalable cell disintegration of microalgae. In this study Chlorella vulgaris and …

Control of temperature is a major challenge for industrial microalgae production in
photobioreactors outdoors. Strains with tolerance for high temperatures can reduce the cost …

Background Many microalgae accumulate carbohydrates simultaneously with triacylglycerol
(TAG) upon nitrogen starvation, and these products compete for photosynthetic products and …

The microalga Dunaliella salina has been widely studied for carotenogenesis, yet its protein
production for human nutrition has rarely been reported. This study unveils the effects of …

Efficient photosynthetic biomass production in a high rate pond (HRP) or a photobioreactor
(PBR) represents the first step of microalgae platforms for the production of renewable fuels …
