Outdoor Cultivation of the Biodiesel Promising Microalga Scenedesmus obliquus in Municipal Wastewater: A Case Study
Despite the promising research findings on microalgae as a feedstock for biodiesel, reduction of its production cost is still a challenge. One possible solution to overcome this problem is outdoor biomass production using wastewater as a growth medium. The present study aimed to evaluate the climate key parameters for Scenedesmus obliquus outdoor biomass production during different seasons, as ...
متن کاملBioenergetic Strategy for the Biodegradation of p-Cresol by the Unicellular Green Alga Scenedesmus obliquus
Cultures from the unicellular green alga Scenedesmus obliquus biodegrade the toxic p-cresol (4-methylphenol) and use it as alternative carbon/energy source. The biodegradation procedure of p-cresol seems to be a two-step process. HPLC analyses indicate that the split of the methyl group (first step) that is possibly converted to methanol (increased methanol concentration in the growth medium), ...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of cytochrome c6 from the unicellular green alga Scenedesmus obliquus.
Purification of a soluble cytochrome c6 from the unicellular green alga Scenedesmus obliquus by a simple and rapid method is described. The purification procedure includes ammonium sulfate precipitation and non-denaturating PAGE. The N-terminal sequence of the first 20 amino acids was determined and shows 85% similarity and 75% identity to the sequence of cytochrome c6 from the green alga Monor...
متن کاملEvidence for nickel in the soluble hydrogenase from the unicellular green alga Scenedesmus obliquus.
Cultures of the green alga Scenedesmus obliquus were grown in the presence of either the chelating reagent EDTA or NiCl2 in various concentrations and assayed for hydrogenase catalyzed photohydrogen evolution after an anaerobic dark adaptation period. Cultivation of algae in the presence of 100 microM EDTA inhibited the formation of hydrogenase activity by 37%. After a cultivation of the cells ...
متن کاملA novel type of Fe-hydrogenase in the green alga Scenedesmus obliquus is linked to the photosynthetic electron transport chain*,**
Hydrogen evolution is observed in the green alga Scenedesmus obliquus after a phase of anaerobic adaptation. In this study we report the biochemical and genetical characterization of a new type of Fe-hydrogenase (HydA) in this photosynthetic organism. The monomeric enzyme has a molecular mass of 44.5 kDa. The complete hydA cDNA of 2609 bp comprises an open reading frame encoding a polypeptide o...
