Enhancing Algal Growth by Stimulation with LED Lighting and Ultrasound

Journal of Nanomaterials, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Algae are not only rich in natural nutrients, but are also a high‐priced health food. An important constituent called “growth factor” is extracted from algae and used as an ingredient in medical drugs, foods, cosmetics, and other products. Its enormous potential market should not be taken lightly.

Medicinal Plants and Other Living Organisms with Antitumor Potential against Lung Cancer

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Lung cancer is a disease with high morbidity and mortality rates. As a result, it is often associated with a significant amount of suffering and a general decrease in the quality of life. Herbal medicines are recognized as an attractive approach to lung cancer therapy with little side effects and are a major source of new drugs.

Isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation-based comparative proteomic analysis of human pathogenic Prototheca zopfii genotype 2 and environmental genotype 1 strains

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2018
Prototheca species are ubiquitous achlorophyllic microalgae belonging to the family Chlorellaceae, which can cause a wide range of infections in humans and animals. Mainly in individuals with immunologic defects or trauma, Prototheca spp.

Geochemical and microbiological variability of aerobic and anaerobic sediments along a bifurcated sulphate‐saturated brine spring in western Canada

The Depositional Record, Volume 10, Issue 5, Page 637-669, November 2024.
A tufa mound developed in north‐east Alberta is characterised by an unusual emplacement of a gypsum caprock. This two‐tiered architecture resulted from the bicarbonate‐saturated groundwater flow along Upper Devonian limestone being redirected deeper and encountering the halite–anhydrite dissolution trend within the underlying Prairie Evaporite ...

A Rare Case of Prototheca Algaemia in a Patient with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Recent Belimumab Infusion

Case Reports in Immunology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Novel agents for the treatment of immune‐mediated diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have been increasingly used as an alternative to or in combination with conventional therapies. Belimumab, a human monoclonal antibody that inhibits B‐cell activating factor (BAFF), has demonstrated efficacy in moderate‐to‐severe SLE with similar ...

Use of eDNA and conventional sampling methods to survey rock pool (gnamma) biodiversity on granite inselbergs

Austral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 8, August 2024.
Environmental DNA sampling coupled with high‐throughput sequencing is increasingly recognized as a useful method for assessing biodiversity with potential applications in terrestrial environments. Rock pools on granite inselbergs support diverse aquatic communities, yet the application of eDNA to document their biodiversity is lacking.

Grazing preferences of three species of amoebae on cyanobacteria and green algae

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 71, Issue 2, March/April 2024.
Abstract Twenty species/isolates of cyanobacteria and green algae were isolated from cyanobacterial bloom samples in lakes associated with the upper Qu'Appelle River drainage system in southern Saskatchewan, Canada. Three amoebae species (Cochliopodium sp., Vannella sp.

Morphology and phylogenetic relationships of two Antarctic strains within the genera Carolibrandtia and Chlorella (Chlorellaceae, Trebouxiophyceae) [PDF]

Algae, 2023
The genera Carolibrandtia and Chlorella have been described as small green algae with spherical cell shapes that inhabit various environments. Species of these genera are often difficult to identify because of their simple morphology and high phenotypic plasticity. We investigated two small coccoid strains from Antarctica based on morphology, molecular

Comparative analysis of defensive secondary metabolites in wild teosinte and cultivated maize under flooding and herbivory stress

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 176, Issue 1, January/February 2024.
Abstract Climate change is driving an alarming increase in the frequency and intensity of abiotic and biotic stress factors, negatively impacting plant development and agricultural productivity. To survive, plants respond by inducing changes in below and aboveground metabolism with concomitant alterations in defensive secondary metabolites. While plant
