Effect of growth conditions and extraction solvents on enhancement of antimicrobial activity of the microalgae Chlorella vulgaris
Regarding increasing rate of drug resistance among microbial pathogens, a global search to find new antimicrobial agents from natural compounds with fewer side effects has been considered by many researchers worldwide. Bioactive compounds with good antimicrobial activity have been isolated from different algae and cyanobacteria. The current study was performed to determine antimicrobial potenti...
متن کاملThe crude oil biodegradation by Fisherella and Nostoc Cyanobacteria
The purpose of this study was to investigate the growth and potential of crude oil biodegradation by Fischerella and Nostoc. In this study, the growth rate of cyanobacterial species such as Fischerella sp. ISC107 and Nostoc sp. ISC101 were determined using chlorophyll-a content measurement at 663nm under different treatments of crude oil (control, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8 and 1.6%). The crude oil con...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of polyketide synthase and peptide synthase genes of cyanobacteria as a mining tool for new pharmaceutical compounds
Cyanobacteria are considered a promising source for new pharmaceutical lead compounds and a large number of chemically diverse and bioactive metabolites have been obtained from cyanobacteria. Despite of several worldwide studies on prevalence of NRPSs and PKSs among the cyanobacteria, none of them included Iranian cyanobacteria of Kermanshah province. Therefore, the aim of this study was t...
متن کاملExploring nutritional modes of cultivation for enhancing lipid accumulation in microalgae.
The objective of this study was to identify the most promising nutritional mode of growth for enhanced biomass and lipid productivity in a set of twenty microalgal strains, grown under photoautotrophic and mixotrophic/heterotrophic conditions using 2% glucose as carbon source. These included four cyanobacterial strains (Cyanosarcina, Phormidium, Nostoc and Anabaena) and sixteen green algae belo...
