Synthesis of Vitamin A by a Fresh-water Alga, Chlorella (sp.?).
نویسنده
چکیده
JAMESON, DRUMMOND and COWARD [1922] showed that a marine diatom, Nitzschia closterium W, Sm., synthesises vitamin A when grown in Miquel's solution or sterilised sea-water in diffused sunlight. This work was, however, open to the criticism that the culture, one supplied by Dr Allen, Plymouth, was not pure, having been found to contain bacteria. Hence it was decided to repeat the work on a culture of Chlorella (species undetermined) which was known to be free from bacteria. Two experiments were performed. In each the culture medium consisted of:

Gene expression changes of collagen І and ІІІ in human skin fibroblast cells in effect of microalga Chlorella vulgaris extract and compared to vitamin C
Skin aging is a biological process that is due to the reduction of collagen production and increase of multiple enzymes, including matrix metalloproteinase (MMPS), which degrade collagen. Chlorella vulgaris is a marine microalga and its beneficial effects on the skin make it a proper ingredient to be used in anti-aging products. In this study, the effect of C. vulgaris extract comparing to vita...

Laboratory and clinical studies from Japan have reported that broken cell wall preparations and extracts of Chlorella pyrenoidosa, a unicellular green alga, as well as other Chlorella species when either given orally or injected, promote growth and healing. Furthermore, these preparations stimulate the immune system in such a way that the host is protected from infection and cancer. Chlorella p...

Nitrate is the predominant form of inorganic nitrogen utilized by higher plants, fungi and algae and its assimilation forms the major pathway for production of biologically useful nitrogen. Chlorella is a unicellular eukaryotic green alga, which offers a potentially useful system for the expression of hetrologous proteins. In the present study the microalgal samples were isolated from stagnant ...
