Biosynthesis of Lipids and Hydrocarbons in Algae
Lipids function as important storage compounds to maintain cellular activities. Lipids store high reducing power and energy since those biosynthetic processes require high amount of reducing cofactors and ATP. Storage lipids do not cause any chemical effect on cellular activity such as osmolarity, pH and ion strength because of its hydrophobicity. Membrane lipids such as phospholipids, caroteno...
متن کاملMembrane lipids of symbiotic algae are diagnostic of sensitivity to thermal bleaching in corals.
Over the past three decades, massive bleaching events of zooxanthellate corals have been documented across the range of global distribution. Although the phenomenon is correlated with relatively small increases in sea-surface temperature and enhanced light intensity, the underlying physiological mechanism remains unknown. In this article we demonstrate that thylakoid membrane lipid composition ...
متن کاملHydrogen isotope fractionation in freshwater algae: I. Variations among lipids and species
Five species of freshwater green algae, including three strains of Botryococcus braunii (two A Race, one B Race), Eudorina unicocca and Volvox aureus, were cultured under controlled conditions in media containing different concentrations of deuterium. The hydrogen isotopic ratios of lipids in the algae, including alkadienes, botryococcenes, heptadecenes, fatty acids, and phytadiene, were measur...
متن کاملAlgae
Algae frequently get a bad press. Pond slime is a problem in garden pools, algal blooms can produce toxins that incapacitate or kill animals and humans and even the term seaweed is pejorative - a weed being a plant growing in what humans consider to be the wrong place. Positive aspects of algae are generally less newsworthy - they are the basis of marine food webs, supporting fisheries and char...
متن کاملEpilithic algae of Çalgan Creek
In this study, the epilithic algae in the samples collected from three stations on the Çalgan Creek (Elazığ) in Fırat University between January and June 2016 were investigated in terms of some physical and chemical parameters. During the study, 44 taxa of epilithic algae were recorded. It was observed that Euglenophyta (1 species), Cyanophyta (3 species), Chlorophyta (6 species) and Bacillario...
