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 ...

Anti‐fibrotic activity of Euglena gracilis and paramylon in a mouse model of non‐alcoholic steatohepatitis

, 2018
Progression to non‐alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) manifests as hepatitis, fibrosis, and sometimes carcinoma, resulting in liver failure. Various clinical trials have indicated that several pharmacological agents, including angiotensin II receptor ...

Paramylon and synthesis of its ionic derivatives: Applications as pharmaceutical tablet disintegrants and as colloid flocculants

, 2019
Paramylon, a high molecular weight polysaccharide, is a linear and unbranched (1→3)-β-D-glucan. Despite itsnumerous biological benefits, the poor aqueous solubility of crystalline paramylon is a drawback that hashampered some of its applications.

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.

The role of Euglena gracilis paramylon in modulating xylem hormone levels, photosynthesis and water-use efficiency in Solanum lycopersicum L. [PDF]

, 2017
-1,3-glucans such as paramylon act as elicitors in plants, modifying the hormonal levels and the physiological responses. Plant hormones affect all phases of the plant life cycle and their responses to environmental stresses, both biotic and abiotic. The

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-
