Small-scale experiments aimed at optimization of large-scale production of the microalga Rhodomonas salina [PDF]
Journal of Applied Phycology, 2018 The cryptophyte Rhodomonas is an important feed item for live feed organisms in aquaculture and although large-scale cultivation of Rhodomonas in photobioreactors (PBRs) is feasible, the production needs to be optimized through further studies of specific factors.

From ideal to toxic: controlling the nitrogen environment for optimal Rhodomonas salina production
, 2023 Abstract The microalga Rhodomonas salina is a widely used species for rearing live feed organisms in the aquaculture feed market. A species specific media is an essential step towards enhancing productivity and decreasing production costs for microalgae cultivation.

Methanol Production by a Broad Phylogenetic Array of Marine Phytoplankton. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Methanol is a major volatile organic compound on Earth and serves as an important carbon and energy substrate for abundant methylotrophic microbes. Previous geochemical surveys coupled with predictive models suggest that the marine contributions are ...

Food quality affects secondary consumers even at low quantities: an experimental test with larval European lobster. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The issues of food quality and food quantity are crucial for trophic interactions. Although most research has focussed on the primary producer-herbivore link, recent studies have shown that quality effects at the bottom of the food web propagate to ...

Culture conditions affect the nutritional value of the copepod Acartia tonsa
Journal of Agricultural and Marine Sciences, 2015 Live feed are still necessary for the rearing of larval stages of several fish species, especially marine ones. Compared to Artemia, copepods are of superior quality. This is based on a suite of traits like size, movement, and nutritional value. Copepods

Aquatic Toxicology, 2023 The production and release of chemicals from human activities are on the rise. Understanding how the aquatic environment is affected by the presence of an unknown number of chemicals is lacking. We employed the chemical activity concept to assess the combined effects of hydrophobic organic contaminants on the phytoplankton species Rodomonas salina ...

Isoprostanoid Profiling of Marine Microalgae
Biomolecules, 2020 Algae result from a complex evolutionary history that shapes their metabolic network. For example, these organisms can synthesize different polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as those found in land plants and oily fish.

Mesozooplankton grazing on picocyanobacteria in the Baltic Sea as inferred from molecular diet analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Our current knowledge on the microbial component of zooplankton diet is limited, and it is generally assumed that bacteria-sized prey is not directly consumed by most mesozooplankton grazers in the marine food webs.
