2-[Methyl-(3-phenylpropionyl)amino]-benzoic acid (1e) was isolated from a culture of marine Streptomyces sp. strain B7747. Analogous compounds have potential importance as phytotoxic substances, hence compound 1e and the analogues 1a approximately 1d and 1f approximately 3a were synthesised. Antimicroalgal activity of the anthranilamide analogues showed that esters 1b, 1f and 2b were more activ...

From the ethyl acetate extract of the strain Streptomyces sp. isolate GW23/1540, besides 16 known products, several 1H-quinazolin-4-one derivatives were isolated. (SR)-2-(1-Hydroxyethyl)-2-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-quinazolin-4-one (4) and (RR)-2-(1-hydroxyethyl)-2-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-quinazolin-4-one (5) are new natural products. 2-Methyl-3H-quinazolin-4-one (2) and 1H-quinazoline-2,4-dione (3) ...

This study demonstrates the acute toxicity of lanthanum oxide nanoparticles (La2O3 NP) on two sentinel aquatic species, fresh-water microalgae Chlorella sp. and the crustacean Daphnia magna. The morphology, size and charge of the nanoparticles were systematically studied. The algal growth inhibition assay confirmed absence of toxic effects of La2O3 NP on Chlorella sp., even at higher concentrat...

The biomass and lipid productivity of Chlorella sp. MTF-15 cultivated using aeration with flue gases from a coke oven, hot stove or power plant in a steel plant of the China Steel Corporation in Taiwan were investigated. Using the flue gas from the coke oven, hot stove or power plant for cultivation, the microalgal strain obtained a maximum specific growth rate and lipid production of (0.827 d(...

A fragment of the Helicosporidium sp. (Chlorophyta: Trebouxiophyceae) plastid genome has been sequenced. The genome architecture was compared to that of both a non-photosynthetic relative (Prototheca wickerhamii) and a photosynthetic relative (Chlorella vulgaris). Comparative genomic analysis indicated that Helicosporidium and Prototheca are closely related genera. The analyses also revealed th...

Dünya nüfusunun hızla artmasıyla birlikte enerji krizleri, iklim değişiklikleri, küresel ısınma, gıda yetersizliği ve dengesiz beslenme gibi sorunların beraberinde geleceği tahmin edilmektedir. Bu öngörülmesiyle birlikte, insanoğlu alternatif kaynaklarına ihtiyaç duymaya başlamıştır. Yüksek besin içerikleri, sağlığa olumlu etkileri sürdürülebilirlikleri ile ilgi gören algler, fonksiyonel olmaya...

Background: Microalgae are known to have beneficial effects on health. On the other hand, studies have reported negative effects of diabetes on hematological parameters. Effects of Spirulina platensis (SP) and Chlorella vulgaris (CV) microalgae, singly and combined, on hematological parameters in diabetic rats are not still studied. Thus, the present study was conducted to investigate the effec...

Microalgae can produce various natural products such as pigments, enzymes, unique fatty acids and vitamin that benefit humans. The objective of the study is to study the bioaccessibility of carotenoids (β-carotene and lycopene) and vitamin E (α- and β-tocopherol) of Nannochloropsis oculata and Chaetoceros calcitrans. Analyses were carried out for both the powdered forms of N. oculata and C. cal...
