New insights into raceway cultivation of Euglena gracilis under long-term semi-continuous nitrogen starvation

Scientific Reports, 2023
This study aimed to investigate the physiological responses of Euglena gracilis (E. gracilis) when subjected to semicontinuous N-starvation (N−) for an extended period in open ponds. The results indicated that the growth rates of E. gracilis under the N−

Methane production from Sargassum muticum: effects of seasonality and of freshwater washes

Energy and Built Environment, 2021
Biogas production from Sargassum muticum, an invasive seaweed species to Europe, is hampered by low methane (CH4) yields during anaerobic digestion (AD), but causes are unclear. This research is the first to demonstrate the impact of extensive freshwater

Characterization of fatty acid desaturases reveals stress-induced synthesis of C18 unsaturated fatty acids enriched in triacylglycerol in the oleaginous alga Chromochloris zofingiensis

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2021
Background The green microalga Chromochloris zofingiensis is capable of producing high levels of triacylglycerol rich in C18 unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs). FA desaturation degree is regulated by FA desaturases (FADs).

The Fucoxanthin Chlorophyll a/c-Binding Protein in Tisochrysis lutea: Influence of Nitrogen and Light on Fucoxanthin and Chlorophyll a/c-Binding Protein Gene Expression and Fucoxanthin Synthesis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
We observed differences in lhc classification in Chromista. We proposed a classification of the lhcf family with two groups specific to haptophytes, one specific to diatoms, and one specific to seaweeds.

The oleaginous astaxanthin-producing alga Chromochloris zofingiensis: potential from production to an emerging model for studying lipid metabolism and carotenogenesis

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2021
The algal lipids-based biodiesel, albeit having advantages over plant oils, still remains high in the production cost. Co-production of value-added products with lipids has the potential to add benefits and is thus believed to be a promising strategy to ...

Cobalamin Scarcity Modifies Carbon Allocation and Impairs DMSP Production Through Methionine Metabolism in the Haptophyte Microalgae Tisochrysis lutea

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Cobalamin (vitamin B12) is a cobalt-containing enzymatic cofactor involved in methionine synthesis. Provided only by select bacteria and archaea in marine systems, this vitamin is known to limit primary production in different oceanic areas ...
