Green microalgae biomolecule separations and recovery
نویسندگان
چکیده
Microalgae biomass has garnered significant attention as a renewable energy feedstock and alternative to petroleumbased fuels. The diverse metabolism of green microalgae species additionally provides opportunities for recovery of products for feed, food, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and biopharmaceutical industries. Recently, the concept of using microalgae as part of a biorefinery model has been adopted in place of refinery methods focused on recovering one target product. This has led to producers exploring co-production of high value and high volume products in an effort to improve process economics. With numerous potential products and applications, the biomass source or specific strain must be carefully selected to accumulate extractable levels of the target molecule(s). It is additionally imperative to understand the morphology and metabolism of the selected strain to cost-effectively manage all stages of commercial production. This review will focus specifically on microalgae in the division of Chlorophyta, or green algae and their extracellular matrices (ECM), potential for commercial products, and finally describe a holistic approach for biomolecule extraction and recovery. Additionally, cell disruption and fractionation methods for recovery of biomolecules for commercial products are highlighted along with an alternative method, aqueous enzymatic processing for multiple biomolecule extraction and recovery from green microalgae. An emphasis is placed on connecting the morphological characteristics of microalgae ECM or organelle membranes to implications on separation and purification technologies.

Half maximal effective concentration (EC50 of the Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate (LAS) on the green marine microalgae Nannochloropsis oculata
In the present study, half maximal effective concentration (EC50) of the Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate on microalgae Nannochloropsis oculata were investigated. The experiment was carried out with seven treatments (six main treatments and one control) with three replications in 25 ºC and pH of 6.9 for 72 hours on July 2017. The concentration of linear alkyl benzene sulfonate in first to six trea...
متن کاملEffects of salinity on growth and fatty acid composition of green microalgae Dunaliella bardawil as a candidate source for biofuel production
Microalgae as a source of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, pigments, pharmaceutical and food metabolites, has received more focus by biological researchers at last decades. The amount and composition of fatty acids produced by microalgae depended on biomass production and environmental factors such as changes in salinity, light and nutrient availability. In this study, the green microalga...
متن کاملInvestigating the effect of different concentrations of heavy metal of cadmium on the green microalgae of Chlorella sp.
Heavy metal pollution in aquatic ecosystems affects microalgae and zooplankton, alters the biomass and abundance of species, and promotes interspecies relationships to the predominance of less sensitive species. In this study, the effect of short-term stress of different concentrations of cadmium heavy metal on Chlorella sp. growth and some biochemical parameters have been investigated. Microal...
