Microwave pretreatment of paramylon enhances the enzymatic production of soluble β-1,3-glucans with immunostimulatory activity.

, 2022
A hydrothermal microwave pretreatment was established to facilitate the enzymatic production of soluble bioactive β-1,3-glucans from the recalcitrant substrate paramylon. The efficacy of this pretreatment was monitored with a newly developed direct Congo

Microalgae: A Solution for Food Security and Multiplanetary Farming

Food Frontiers, Volume 6, Issue 3, Page 1242-1251, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Human civilization is threatened by food insecurity and habitat loss owing to the cumulative effects of anthropogenic and natural factors. Thus, increasing food production while using fewer resources and exploring the potential of interstellar migration is essential.

Impact of Microalgal‐Based Diets on Growth, Proximate, Fatty Acid, and Amino Acid Profiles in Daphnia magna

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Water flea (Daphnia magna) is an important live prey species for feeding larvae and juvenile fish and is also used as a feed ingredient in aquaculture. The growth performance and nutritional content of D. magna can be enhanced by diets. In this study, one freshwater microalgae Euglena gracilis (EG), one marine microalgae Pavlova lutheri (PL), and four ...

New insights into raceway cultivation of Euglena gracilis under long-term semi-continuous nitrogen starvation

Scientific Reports, 2023
This study aimed to investigate the physiological responses of Euglena gracilis (E. gracilis) when subjected to semicontinuous N-starvation (N−) for an extended period in open ponds. The results indicated that the growth rates of E. gracilis under the N−

Evaluation of Paramylon As an Alternative ��-1,3-Glucan for Aquacultured Fish Species [PDF]

, 2020
Four separate studies were conducted with different finfish species, to explore the immunomodulatory properties of paramylon, a microalgae-derived linear form of 1,3-glucan, as an alternative to the widely available and branched yeast-based -1,3-1,6-

Glycomolecules: from “sweet immunity” to “sweet biostimulation”?

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 176, Issue 6, November/December 2024.
Abstract Climate changes and environmental contaminants are daunting challenges that require an urgent change from current agricultural practices to sustainable agriculture. Biostimulants are natural solutions that adhere to the principles of organic farming and are believed to have low impacts on the environment and human health.

Antitumor activity of paramylon on sarcoma-180 in mice.

Gan, 1976
The antitumor effect of reserve polysaccharide, paramylon, from Euglena gracilis on the transplantable sarcoma-180 was examined in mice. This polysaccharide had an effect similar to that of lentinan. Paramylon, in a dose of 1 mug/g body weight, injected intraperitoneally 24 hr after tumor implantation had an inhibitory effect on the tumor growth ...
