Nannochloropsis oculata is a microalgae that acts as natural food source in fisheries. The need for N. can be met through progressive culture starting from laboratory scale to provide inoculant stock mass using concrete tubs. of begins with the preparation and sterilization media equipment, fertilizer production, scale, intermediate observing density water quality. lag phase occurs on first sec...

Microalgae represent a promising solution in addressing the impacts associated with current agricultural and manufacturing practices which are causing irreparable environmental damage. have considerable biosynthetic potential, being rich source of lipids, proteins, high-value compounds. Under scope H2020-BBI MULTI-STR3AM project, an innovative large-scale production system valuable commodities ...

Nannochloropsis is well appreciated in aquaculture due to its nutritional value and the ability to produce valuable chemical compounds, such as pigments (zeaxanthin, astaxanthin...) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (EPA). Commercial exploitation needs high cell densities but the low growth rate and the small size of cells are practical difficulties. To increase biomass concentration the positive...

This paper reports the temporal evolution of the scattering and absorbing cross-sections of marine eustigmatophycease Nannochloropsis oculata grown in a flat-plate photobioreactor (PBR). The PBR was operated in batch mode under constant irradiance of 7500 or 10,000 lux provided by red LEDs emitting at 630 nm. The radiation characteristics between 400 and 750 nm and pigment concentrations of N. ...

Marine algae are considered a source of different bioactive constituents including protein, oil, fiber, vitamins, pigments and dietary minerals. To evaluate the fine chemical biochemical properties marine microalga Nannochloropsis oculata macroalga Ulva lactuca, present study was carried out. The cultivated N. oculate collected U. lactuca were washed, oven-dried, ground subjected to analysis mo...
