Evaluation of Chemical and Physical Triggers for Enhanced Photosynthetic Glycerol Production in Different Dunaliella Isolates

open access: yesMicroorganisms
The salt-tolerant marine microalgae Dunaliella tertiolecta is reported to generate significant amounts of intracellular glycerol as an osmoprotectant under high salt conditions. This study highlights the phylogenetic distribution and comparative glycerol

Algae and Biodiesel: Patenting Energized as Green Goes Commercial [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In the twenty-first century, predominant dependence on fossil fuels as energy resources will not be sustainable. Developing and commercializing green energy innovations will be an essential component of the transition to a more diversified energy economy.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons stress affects fatty acids profile and LacsA (long-chain acyl-CoA synthetize) gene expression in Dunaliella

open access: yesApplied Phycology
This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different concentrations of two Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) on the profiles of soluble proteins and fatty acids and on LacsA (long-chain acyl-CoA synthesis) gene expression in Dunaliella ...

Changes in the gross chemical composition of mass cultures of the marine microalga Dunaliella tertiolecta with different aeration rates [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
The effect of different aeration rates, in the range 0–6·51 l of air min−1 l of culture−1, and CO2 supply on the biochemical composition of mass cultures of the marine microalga Dunaliella tertiolecta was studied.

Cellular and Molecular Responses of Dunaliella tertiolecta by Expression of a Plant Medium Chain Length Fatty Acid Specific Acyl-ACP Thioesterase

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Metabolic engineering of microalgae to accumulate high levels of medium chain length fatty acids (MCFAs) has met with limited success. Traditional approaches employ single introduction of MCFA specific acyl-ACP thioesterases (TEs), but our current ...

Photoacclimation of Dunaliella tertiolecta (Chlorophyceae) Under Fluctuating Irradiance

open access: yesPhotosynthetica, 2004
We investigated photoacclimation of Dunaliella tertiolecta (Butcher) in irradiance (I) regimes simulating mixed layer conditions of turbid estuarine waters or lakes. D. tertiolecta was exposed to a range of fixed I regimes to establish baseline physiology-I relationships that were compared with subsequent photoacclimation to a simulated mixed layer ...

Loss of Function in Zeaxanthin Epoxidase of Dunaliella tertiolecta Caused by a Single Amino Acid Mutation within the Substrate-Binding Site

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2018
The zea1 mutant of marine microalga Dunaliella tertiolecta accumulates zeaxanthin under normal growth conditions, and its phenotype has been speculated to be related to zeaxanthin epoxidase (ZEP).

Ecotoxicological Investigation in Three Model Species Exposed to Elutriates of Marine Sediments Inoculated With Bioplastics

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2020
The aim of this study was to evaluate a set of ecotoxicity biotests on three marine model species exposed to elutriates of marine sediments inoculated with the biodegradable plastic Mater-Bi or with cellulose.

Exploring the Chemical Space of Macro- and Micro-Algae Using Comparative Metabolomics

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2021
With more than 156,000 described species, eukaryotic algae (both macro- and micro-algae) are a rich source of biological diversity, however their chemical diversity remains largely unexplored.
