Abstract The bottleneck for the production of biofuels from microalgae consists on costly harvesting processes and low lipid production, immobilization technology could play a part making more feasible. aim this study was to evaluate effect alginate growth productivity Chlorella sorokiniana , so far, main focus has been its use wastewater treatment nutrient removal effluents. cultured in both f...

Whether it be a rugby team or a rescue crew, ensuring peak group performance is a primary goal during collective activities. In reality, however, groups often suffer from productivity losses that can lead to less than optimal outputs. Where researchers have focused on this problem, inefficiencies in the way team members coordinate their efforts has been identified as one potent source of produc...

Both theory and evidence suggest that diversity stabilises productivity in herbaceous plant communities through a combination of overyielding, species asynchrony and favourable species interactions. However, whether these same processes also promote stability in forest ecosystems has never been tested. Using tree ring data from permanent forest plots across Europe, we show that aboveground wood...

Background The light/dark cycle is one of the most important factors affecting the microalgal growth and lipid accumulation. Biomass concentration and lipid productivity could be enhanced by optimization of light/dark cycles, and this is considered an effective control strategy for microalgal cultivation. Currently, most research on effects of light/dark cycles on algae is carried out under aut...

objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of good glycemic control on serum lipids levels and lipid peroxidation, and to find out the relationship between the level of malondialdehyde and hba1c in type 2 diabetes. materials and methods: fifty type 2 diabetic patients aged 40-60 years with the history of diabetes for more than 10 years were studied. glycemic control was stable ...

Thraustochytrid strains belonging to the genus Aurantiochytrium accumulate significant amounts of lipids including polyunsaturated fatty acids and carotenoids and, therefore, are expected be used for industrial production various valuable materials. Although efforts such as chemical mutagenesis homologous gene recombination have been made improve lipid productivity species, low specificity effi...

This study aimed to highlight the behavior of cassava cultivars when subjected different densities and biostimulants at planting select superior based on nutritional productive attributes using multivariate approach. The experiment design used randomized blocks in a three-factor scheme, with three (FEPAGRO-RS 13 Vassourinha, BRS CS01, Iapar - 19 Pioneira) × two (10 20 buds per linear meter) bio...

Background Yarrowia lipolytica is a common biotechnological chassis for the production of lipids, which are the preferred feedstock for the production of fuels and chemicals. To reduce the cost of microbial lipid production, inexpensive carbon sources must be used, such as lignocellulosic hydrolysates. Unfortunately, lignocellulosic materials often contain toxic compounds and a large amount of ...

BACKGROUND Algae have attracted attention as sustainable producers of lipid-containing biomass for food, animal feed, and for biofuels. Parachlorella kessleri, a unicellular green alga belonging to the class Trebouxiophyceae, achieves very high biomass, lipid, and starch productivity levels. However, further biotechnological exploitation has been hampered by a lack of genomic information. RES...
