Biochemical characteristics and applications of microalga Chlorella sorokiniana KNUA228 isolated from Ulleungdo

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract The increasing environmental and health challenges posed by fossil fuel dependency necessitate the exploration of renewable bioresources. Chlorella sorokiniana KNUA228, a microalga isolated from Ulleungdo, Republic of Korea, was investigated to evaluate its biotechnological potential. Molecular analyses confirmed its identity as C. sorokiniana,

Novel SNP markers and other stress-related genomic regions associated with nitrogen use efficiency in cassava

Frontiers in Plant Science
Cassava productivity is constrained by low soil nitrogen, which is predominant in most cassava-growing regions in the tropics and subtropical agroecology. Improving the low nitrogen tolerance of cassava has become an important breeding objective.

Biofortification of field-grown cassava by engineering expression of an iron transporter and ferritin

Nature Biotechnology, 2019
Less than 10% of the estimated average requirement (EAR) for iron and zinc is provided by consumption of storage roots of the staple crop cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) in West African human populations. We used genetic engineering to improve mineral

Nutrient digestibility and growth response of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri ) fed different carbohydrate types [PDF]

, 1986
Seven groups of fingerling rainbow trout (S. gairdneri ) were fed for 10 weeks on 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% of cassava or rice in isonitrogenous diets. Optimum growth and food utilization was at 20% dietary cassava.
