A scalable model for EPA and fatty acid production by Phaeodactylum tricornutum
Large-scale photoautotrophic production of microalgae has the potential to provide a sustainable supply of omega-3 fatty acids (eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)) for human and animal nutrition.

Artificial leaf device for hydrogen generation from immobilised C. reinhardtii microalgae [PDF]
We developed a fully biomimetic leaf-like device for hydrogen production which allows incorporated fabric-immobilised microalgae culture to be simultaneously hydrated with media and harvested from the produced hydrogen in a continuous flow regime without

A 2D model for hydrodynamics and biology coupling applied to algae growth simulations [PDF]
Cultivating oleaginous microalgae in specific culturing devices such as raceways is seen as a future way to produce biofuel. The complexity of this process coupling non linear biological activity to hydrodynamics makes the optimization problem very ...

Autotrophic and Heterotrophic Growth Conditions Modify Biomolecole Production in the Microalga Galdieria sulphuraria (Cyanidiophyceae, Rhodophyta) [PDF]
Algae have multiple similarities with fungi, with both belonging to the Thallophyte, a polyphyletic group of non-mobile organisms grouped together on the basis of similar characteristics, but not sharing a common ancestor.

Simulation of microalgal growth in a continuous photobioreactor with sedimentation and partial biomass recycling [PDF]
Microalgae are considered as promising feedstocks for the third generation of biofuels. They are autotrophic organisms with high growth rate and can stock an enormous quantity of lipids (about 20 \u2013 40% of their dried cellular weight).

Trimethylamine abatement in algal-bacterial photobioreactors [PDF]
Trimethylamine (TMA) is an odorous volatile organic compound emitted by industries. Algal-based biotechnologies have been proven as a feasible alternative for wastewater treatment, although their application to abate polluted air emissions is still scarce.
