Potential for Carotenoid and Other Bioproducts Production by a Brazilian Dunaliella salina Isolate Using a High Photon Flux Density Strategy

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dunaliella species are among the most significant biological sources of carotenoids, notably beta‐carotene. Given that chemical synthesis offers a more cost‐effective alternative to biotechnological cultivation, optimizing production strategies is essential for economic viability.

Biotechnological exploitation of microalgae [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2015
Microalgae are a diverse group of single-cell photosynthetic organisms that include cyanobacteria and a wide range of eukaryotic algae. A number of microalgae contain high-value compounds such as oils, colorants, and polysaccharides, which are used by the food additive, oil, and cosmetic industries, among others.

Bioeconomy, sustainability, and digital technologies in Haematococcus lacustris biomass and astaxanthin production: advances and outlook

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Astaxanthin is a carotenoid with strong antioxidant properties, used in research on cancer treatment, ocular injuries, and neurological disorders. When produced by the microalgae Haematococcus lacustris, its antioxidant potential is even higher than that of the synthetic molecule, making it particularly attractive for pharmaceutical and ...

Quantitative Partitioning of Photoautotrophic and Photoheterotrophic Contributions During Mixotrophic Growth of Scenedesmus obliquus

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Carbon and oxygen fluxes during photoautotrophic, photoheterotrophic and mixotrophic growth of Scenedesmus obliquus. ABSTRACT Mixotrophic growth of microalgae involves the simultaneous assimilation of inorganic and organic carbon sources, but the quantitative contributions of photoautotrophic and photoheterotrophic metabolisms remain poorly resolved ...

Commercial applications of microalgae

Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering, 2006
The first use of microalgae by humans dates back 2000 years to the Chinese, who used Nostoc to survive during famine. However, microalgal biotechnology only really began to develop in the middle of the last century. Nowadays, there are numerous commercial applications of microalgae.

Styrene and its natural analogues: accumulation and sustainable production methods

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Styrene, also known as vinyl benzene, is a colourless, highly volatile petrochemical that serves as a key monomer in the production of polystyrene and styrene‐butadiene rubber. Its industrial synthesis via the alkylation of benzene with ethylene relies on fossil fuels, requiring high temperatures and toxic catalysts that contribute to ...

Removal of p-chlorophenol by the marine microalga Tetraselmis marina

, 2007
The ability of Tetraselmis marina, a green coastal microalga, to remove chlorophenols under photoautotrophic conditions was investigated. T.marina was able to grow in the presence of 20 mg L−1 of the phenolic compounds tested.
