Chlorella vulgaris: A miracle plant?

2011 Fourth International Conference on Modeling, Simulation and Applied Optimization, 2011
Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris), a unicellular green microalgae, has been widely used as a food supplement. It was reported to have massive amount of antioxidants such as carotenoids, vitamins E & C and enriched with several minerals. However not many studies have evaluated the chemopreventive potential of this algae against cancers.

EFFECT OF ATRAZINE ON CHLORELLA VULGARIS

American Journal of Botany, 1966
Samples of a synchronous culture of Chlorella vulgaris were treated with: (a) atrazine, (b) atrazine + glucose, or (c) glucose. Cultures were sampled 0, 24, 48, and 72 hr, after treatment.

Chlorophyllase of Chlorella vulgaris Beijerinck

Phytochemistry, 1965
Abstract Some properties of chlorophyllase (E.C.3.1.1.14 = chlorophyll chlorophyllido-hydrolase) in homogenates from Chlorella vulgaris Beijerinck 211-11h are described. Chlorophyllase is localized in the chloroplast; the enzyme is easily solubilized and can be strongly activated after a short incubation with trypsin.

Epigenetic modulation of Chlorella (Chlorella vulgaris) on exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology, 2015
DNA methylation in promoter region can be a new chemopreventive marker against polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). We performed a randomized, double blind and cross-over trial (N=12 healthy females) to evaluate chlorella (Chlorella vulgaris)-induced epigenetic modulation on exposure to PAHs.

Enzymic evidence for peroxisomes in a mutant of Chlorella vulgaris

Archiv f�r Mikrobiologie, 1972
Isopycnic sucrose density gradient centrifugation of cell-free extracts of a yellow mutant of Chlorella vulgaris and its green parent strain showed a distribution of catalase and glycollate oxidoreductase activity consistent with their association with a particle/organelle fraction.

Fermentation of Glucose by Chlorella vulgaris

Nature, 1958
IT has been shown recently that the chief products of glucose fermentation by Chlorella vulgaris (Pearsall's strain) are acetic acid, lactic acid, hydrogen and a little carbon dioxide1. It was of interest to study the fermentation of glucose labelled with carbon-14 in particular carbon atoms since, from a determination of the distribution of carbon-14 ...

Induction and synthesis of nitrate reductase in Chlorella vulgaris

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1989
Assimilatory nitrate reductase is an inducible, eukaryotic enzyme that responds to a variety of environmental cues. When higher plants and green algae are grown with ammonia as a nitrogen source, low levels of nitrate reductase activity are present.

Protoplast induction in Chlorella vulgaris

Plant Science Letters, 1977
Abstract Cells of the unicellular green alga Chlorella vulgaris formed osmotically fragile protoplasts when incubated for 4–6 h in a defined medium plus 0.4 M mannitol plus 0.5% Cellulysin. The protoplasts were extruded through breaks in the cell wall and not by dissolution of the wall.

Purification and characterization of ascorbate peroxidase in Chlorella vulgaris

Biochimie, 1998
Chlorella vulgaris contained only one isoform of ascorbate peroxidase (AsAP) as the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-scavenging system except for catalase at a specific activity of 3.3 +/- 0.2 units/mg protein. The activity of glutathione peroxidase was not detected in the extracts from cells grown in the absence and presence of sodium selenite.

Boron Requirement of Chlorella vulgaris

Botanical Gazette, 1958
1. Chlorella vulgaris (Columbia strain) was subcultured in a boron-deficient medium contained in Corning boron-free flasks to bring the level of this element in the cells to a low level; such Chlorella cells were then inoculated into a medium containing 0, 0.5, 1, or 5 p.p.m. boron. 2.
