Chlorella vulgaris biorefineries: sustainable biofuels and high‐value carbon capture

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Global reliance on fossil fuels has created urgent economic and environmental challenges, yet large‐scale use of algal biomass remains limited by production costs. Industrial scaling is constrained by inefficient harvesting and the technical challenges of processing recalcitrant cell walls.

SiC/Si ceramic hollow fibres: A new approach to Chlorella vulgaris biomass harvesting

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Efficient harvesting of microalgae is a critical challenge for the viability of biorefineries, requiring technologies that combine high selectivity, low cost, and scalability. The current work evaluated the performance of an asymmetric hollow fibre ceramic membrane (HF‐SiC70Si30), fabricated by phase inversion and sintered at 1250°C, in the ...

Microalgae as Sources of Carotenoids [PDF]

Marine Drugs, 2011
Marine microalgae constitute a natural source of a variety of drugs for pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic applications—which encompass carotenoids, among others. A growing body of experimental evidence has confirmed that these compounds can play important roles in prevention (and even treatment) of human diseases and health conditions, e.g., cancer ...

Key metabolites secreted by Chlorella vulgaris alleviate salt stress in soybean seedlings

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Chlorella vulgaris secretes exosome‐derived linolenic acid and inosine, which alleviate salt stress and enhance salt tolerance in soybean seedlings by activating stress‐responsive signaling networks. ABSTRACT Soil salinization is a major abiotic stress factor that reduces soybean production.

Transmission electron microscopy characterisation of Spirulina bioplastics

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Plastic pollution is impacting global ecosystem health. Bioplastics made from unprocessed biomass, including whole or fragmented tissues, are one potential solution. They are biodegradable and exhibit competitive mechanical performance. Seaweed and microalgae have gained popularity over the last decade as bioplastic feedstocks due to their ...

Extrusion and Pancreatin Superdosing Modulate the Metabolic Impact of 20% Chlorella vulgaris Inclusion in Broiler Diets

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microalgae such as Chlorella vulgaris are gaining attention as sustainable and nutritionally valuable feed ingredients, with the potential to partially replace soybean meal in broiler diets. However, dietary inclusion of 20% C. vulgaris has been attempted, but negatively affected growth performance due to limited digestibility.

Beyond Immunity: Functional Outcomes of Dietary Yeast and Seaweed β‐Glucans in Adult Canine Nutrition

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT β‐Glucans are functional compounds associated with health benefits; however, the physiological effects of different β‐glucan sources in dog foods remain incompletely understood. This study evaluated and compared the effects of β‐glucans derived from Euglena gracilis (seaweed) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast) on nutrient digestibility ...
