Antioxidant Production in Dunaliella [PDF]

Applied Sciences, 2021
Microalgae have become an attractive natural source of a diverse range of biomolecules, including enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants; nevertheless, economically sustainable production of such compounds from microalgae biomass is still challenging. The main hurdles are: (a) increasing microalgae yield; (b) achieving optimal cultivation conditions;

Lipid Productivity of Marine Microalgae Dunaliella tertiolecta in Marmara Seawater and Johnson’s Media with Different Salinities and Evaluation as A Raw Material Source for Biofuel Production

Journal of Advanced Research in Natural and Applied Sciences, 2021
Microalgae are increasingly used in the production of various industrial chemicals. Lipids from major microalgae crops are similar to lipids obtained from oilseed plants and can be converted into biodiesel, moreover, microalgae are more advantageous than

Microplastics in the menu of Mediterranean zooplankton: Insights from the feeding response of the calanoid copepod Centropages typicus

Marine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Microplastic input into the ocean represents an increasing threat to marine biota and may endanger the functioning of marine ecosystems, especially in semi‐enclosed basins, such as the Mediterranean Sea. The size spectrum of microplastics overlaps with that of nano‐microplankton (2–200 μm), thus potentially misleading suspension‐feeding ...

9-cis and all-trans beta-carotene isomers of super critical CO2-extracted Dunaliella oil are absorbed and accumulated in mouse tissues

Applied Phycology, 2021
Animals cannot produce β-carotene, and therefore they exclusively depend on its dietary availability. We previously showed that a 9-cis β-carotene-enriched diet, provided as Dunaliella powder, has a beneficial effect on atherosclerosis and diabetes ...

Biodiesel from Dunaliella salina Microalgae Using Base Catalyzed Transesterification – An Assessment through GC/MS, FTIR and NMR Studies [PDF]

Nature Environment and Pollution Technology, 2023
Algal biofuels are a promising renewable feedstock to produce energy that can supplement future energy demands greatly. The present study aims to utilize Dunaliella salina, a hypersaline, unicellular greenish-orange micro-algae, to produce bio-oil.

Fog, Symbiosis, and Survival: The Ecological Architecture of the Grit Crust From the Atacama Desert Represents a Lichen Holobiome Rather Than a Soil Microbiome. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol
Multi‐marker metabarcoding (16S rRNA, 18S rRNA, ITS2) of the fog‐dependent grit crust in the Atacama Desert reveals a community structured by lichen symbioses rather than typical soil‐derived microbial assemblages. The green algal photobiont Trebouxia dominates the eukaryotic community, accompanied by lichenized Caliciales and lichen‐associated ...

Biochemical profiling of three indigenous Dunaliella isolates with main focus on fatty acid composition towards potential biotechnological application

Biotechnology Reports, 2020
This study describes the biochemical composition of three isolates, Dunaliella sp. ABRIINW-B1, -G2/1 and -I1 towards the biotechnological potential. Dunaliella sp. ABRIINW- G2/1 and -I1 had a remarkable protein content (∼40% dry weight).

Extreme environments as potential drivers of convergent evolution by exaptation: the Atacama Desert Coastal Range case.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012
We have recently discovered a variety of unrelated phototrophic microorganisms (two microalgae and one cyanobacteria) in specialized terrestrial habitats at The Coastal Range of the Atacama Desert.

Molecular and phylogenetic analysis reveals new diversity of Dunaliella salina from hypersaline environments [PDF]

, 2021
Twelve hyper-β carotene-producing strains of algae assigned to the genus Dunaliella salina have been isolated from various hypersaline environments in Israel, South Africa, Namibia and Spain.
