Lipid accumulation on optimized condition through biomass production in green algae

Identification and Metabolite Profiling of Chemical Activators of Lipid Accumulation in Green Algae.

Microalgae are proposed as feedstock organisms useful for producing biofuels and coproducts. However, several limitations must be overcome before algae-based production is economically feasible. Among these is the ability to induce lipid accumulation and storage without affecting biomass yield. To overcome this barrier, a chemical genetics approach was employed in which 43,783 compounds were sc...

Effect of Heavy Metals Found in Flue Gas on Growth and Lipid Accumulation for Green Algae Scenedesmus obliquus

EVALUATION OF BLUE GREEN ALGAE GROWN UNDER DIFFERENT pH CONDITION FOR BIOFUEL PRODUCTION

Blue green algae was isolated from fresh water bodies of Allahabad region, Yamuna River, India to produce biodiesel. Based on rate of growth in cultural media and morphological characters and biomass production, 8 colonizing blue green algae isolates were selected for the further biofuel production work. To further narrow down the number of isolates, the carbonic anhydrase enzyme assay was used...

Oleosin of subcellular lipid droplets evolved in green algae.

In primitive and higher plants, intracellular storage lipid droplets (LDs) of triacylglycerols are stabilized with a surface layer of phospholipids and oleosin. In chlorophytes (green algae), a protein termed major lipid-droplet protein (MLDP) rather than oleosin on LDs was recently reported. We explored whether MLDP was present directly on algal LDs and whether algae had oleosin genes and oleo...

Fucoidan from Marine Brown Algae Inhibits Lipid Accumulation

In this study, we elucidated the inhibitory effect of fucoidan from marine brown algae on the lipid accumulation in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes and its mechanism. The treatment of fucoidan in a dose-dependent manner was examined on lipid inhibition in 3T3-L1 cells by using Oil Red O staining. Fucoidan showed high lipid inhibition activity at 200 μg/mL concentration (P < 0.001). Lipolytic a...
