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 ...

Organic Carbon Is Ineffective in Enhancing the Growth of Dunaliella
Fermentation, 2022 (1) Background: Mixotrophic growth is commonly associated with higher biomass productivity and lower energy consumption. This paper evaluates the impact of using different carbon sources on growth, protein profile, and nutrient uptake for Dunaliella ...

Microalgal production under mixotrophic conditions using cheese whey as substrate
Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2022 Microalgae are known for producing various biotechnological products. Moreover, they absorb nutrients from dairy wastewater, grow well, and accumulate valuable compounds faster.

Isolation of Intact Chloroplasts from Dunaliella tertiolecta [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1988 Cells of Dunaliella tertiolecta from the log phase of growth were broken by rapid extrusion at low pressure through a Yeda press and the chloroplasts were isolated by centrifugation through a Percoll gradient. Osmolarity of the growth media, the suspending media, and the Percoll gradient was kept identical to minimize change in chloroplast volume and ...

Growth of Dunaliella tertiolecta and associated bacteria in photobioreactors
Journal of Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2012 Abstract The aim of this study was to test three flat-plate photobioreactor configurations for cultivation of marine green alga Dunaliella tertiolecta under non-axenic growth conditions and to characterize and quantify the associated bacteria. The photobioreactor cultivations were conducted using tap water-based media.

MICROALGAE AS TOCOPHEROL PRODUCERS [PDF]
Biotechnologia Acta, 2014 Microalgae are able to accumulate considerable amounts of tocopherols (up to 4 mg/g dry weight). The content of α-tocopherol to plant oils is low, whereas microalgae contain up to 97% of the tocochromanols that provides high bioactivity.

Assessing sediment quality in Spanish ports using a green alga bioassay
Ciencias Marinas, 2008 Coastal zones are under environmental pressure due to human activities, and ports are the areas that probably present the highest levels of contaminants in their sediments.
