Marine Microalgae: Promising Source for New Bioactive Compounds [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2018 The study of marine natural products for their bioactive potential has gained strength in recent years. Oceans harbor a vast variety of organisms that offer a biological and chemical diversity with metabolic abilities unrivalled in terrestrial systems, which makes them an attractive target for bioprospecting as an almost untapped resource of ...

Marine microalgae for production of biofuels and chemicals
Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2018Marine microalgae are recognized as promising feedstocks for biofuels and chemicals owing to their higher growth rates than those of terrestrial crop plants. We aimed to summarize the production of biofuels and chemicals by marine microalgae and to discuss their advantages and potential from the aspect of bioprocess.

Hazard and risk of herbicides for marine microalgae
Environmental Pollution, 2014Due to their specific effect on photosynthesis, herbicides pose a potential threat to coastal and estuarine microalgae. However, comprehensive understanding of the hazard and risk of these contaminants is currently lacking. Therefore the aim of the present study was to investigate the toxic effects of four ubiquitous herbicides (atrazine, diuron ...

Superoxide production by marine microalgae
Marine Biology, 2005A survey was conducted for production of the reactive oxygen species superoxide by 37 species (65 strains) of microalgae including dinoflagellates, raphidophytes, chlorophytes, prasinophytes, eustigmatophytes and prymnesiophytes. Ichthyotoxic raphidophyte species of Chattonella were found to produce the highest environmental levels of superoxide (177 ...

Light sensing and responses in marine microalgae
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2017Marine eukaryotic phytoplankton are major contributors to global primary production. To adapt and thrive in the oceans, phytoplankton relies on a variety of light-regulated responses and light-acclimation capacities probably driven by sophisticated photoregulatory mechanisms.

Potential of sponges and microalgae for marine biotechnology
Trends in Biotechnology, 2008Marine organisms can be used to produce several novel products that have applications in new medical technologies, in food and feed ingredients and as biofuels. In this paper two examples are described: the development of marine drugs from sponges and the use of microalgae to produce bulk chemicals and biofuels. Many sponges produce bioactive compounds

Peroxidases from marine microalgae
Journal of Applied Phycology, 2000Peroxidase activity was detected in cell-free extractsof strains of three species of the marine microalgae,Porphyridium purpureum, Phaeodactylumtricornutum and Dunaliella tertiolecta. However, no bromo- or chloroperoxidase activity wasdetected in any, using the standard 2-chlorodimedoneassay. Only the extract from P.

Anaerobic digestion of marine microalgae [PDF]
, 2015 Anaerobic digestion is a simple and energetically efficient way in comparison to some other biofuel methods of producing renewable energy from a range of biomass types. Although digestion of micro-algal biomass was first suggested in the 1950s, only a few studies have been conducted for assessment of its performance.
