Carotenoids in Microalgae

2016
Carotenoids are a class of isoprenoids synthesized by all photosynthetic organisms as well as by some non-photosynthetic bacteria and fungi with broad applications in food, feed and cosmetics, and also in the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries.

Vision in microalgae

Planta, 1997
Flagellate green algae such as Chlamydomonas and related genera are guided by their eyes to places where light conditions are optimal for photosynthetic growth. These eyes constitute the simplest and most common visual system found in nature. The eyes contain optics, photoreceptors and the elementary components of a signal-transduction chain. Rhodopsin

Immobilization of Microalgae

2006
Several microalgae synthesize metabolites of great commercial interest. Microalgae also act as filters for wastewater N and P, heavy metals, and xenobiotic compounds. However, the cost-effective harvesting of microalgae is one of the major bottlenecks limiting the microalgal biomass applications.

Photosynthesis in microalgae

2004
An understanding of photosynthesis is fundamental for microalgal biotechnology. The process of photosynthesis can be expressed as a light-driven redox reaction in which carbon dioxide is converted to carbohydrates and oxygen is released as a side-product. This chapter describes the processes in detail from light capture to carbon fixation.

Microalgae for Pigments and Cosmetics

2022
Microalgae are among the most promising cell factories of the near future. Their renewable nature, and ability to rely on photosynthesis to use CO2 or nutrients from wastewater to grow and multiply, make them an emergent source of valuable natural compounds.

Biodegradation of phenols by microalgae

Biotechnology Letters, 2002
Two green microalgae, Ankistrodesmus braunii and Scenedesmus quadricauda, degraded phenols (each tested at 400 mg ml−1) selected from olive-oil mill wastewaters, within 5 days, with a removal greater than 70%. Green algae may, therefore, represent an alternative to other biological treatment used for the biodegradation of phenol-containing wastewaters.

Microalgae production and biofuel from microalgae

2017
Fossil fuel reserves which supplying a major portion of energy needs, are depleting rapidly, and its environmental damages increases day by day. Therefore, like all developed and developing countries, our country have focused on the use of renewable energy sources.

Mass production of microalgae

Experientia, 1982
The limits of the earth’s arable lands1, the continuing need for more agricultural products and/or raw materials for industry2, and agricultural products for animal feed and human food3, the growth of world population4, and the increasing cost and depletion of fossil fuels5 all point to the need for new sources of agricultural products that will not ...

Biodiesel from Microalgae

2010
The development of industrial processes for large-scale production of biofuels , in particular biodiesel , is one of the most pursued purposes of research teams, companies, and governments all in the world, as consequence of a necessary reduction of CO2 emissions and the need of renewable and affordable energy sources.

Microalgae taxonomy and breeding.

2013
Microalgae are a diverse group of organisms that form the basic component of many eco­- systems. The systemic classification of algae is primarily based on their pigment composition and is divided into nine classes. The largest groups are Chlorophyceae (green algae), Phaeophyceae (brown algae), Pyrrophyceae (dinoflagellates), Chrysophyceae (golden ...
