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.

Design of experiments‐driven optimization of Porphyridium marinum cultivation: impact of operational variables on phycoerythrin and exopolysaccharide production

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Among the Porphyridium genus, Porphyridium marinum exhibits the highest phycoerythrin (PE) content. In this study, the metabolic trade‐off between biomass, PE, and sulfated exopolysaccharide (EPS) production was assessed under varying nitrogen and sulfur availability, light intensity, residence time, and cultivation mode.

The Effects of Supplementation of Chlorella vulgaris Biomass on Egg Production and Composition of Laying Hens. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
Dietary supplementation with Chlorella vulgaris up to 0.5% improved laying hen productivity, increasing egg number and daily production rate without compromising egg weight. Egg nutritional composition remained largely unchanged, with only indicative trends in fatty acid ratio and cholesterol, suggesting potential for productivity enhancement without ...

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.

Potassium hydroxide activation of microalgal biochar for improved adsorption efficiency

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Activated carbon was prepared from Chlorella by carbonization and potassium hydroxide activation, and its structural properties and methylene blue (MB) adsorption performance were evaluated. Raw Chlorella exhibited an adsorption capacity of 287.2 mg g−1, which decreased to 214.8 mg g−1 after carbonization.

Searching for α−solenoid proteins involved in organellar gene expression

BMC Genomics
Background In photosynthetic eukaryotes of the green lineage, the expression of the chloroplast genome is mainly regulated post-transcriptionally, by RNA-binding proteins encoded in the nuclear genome termed organelle trans-acting factors.
