Lipid production is an important indicator for assessing microalgal species for biodiesel production. In this work, the effects of medium composition on lipid production by Scenedesmus sp. were investigated using the response surface methodology. The results of a Plackett-Burman design experiment revealed that NaHCO₃, NaH₂PO4·2H₂O and NaNO₃ were three factors significantly influencing lipid pro...

The metabolism of pyruvic acid in the light and dark by Scenedesmus has been examined with two aims: to study the relationship of its metabolism to that of the intermediates of C1402 fixation and to compare its metabolic fate with that of hydroxypyruvate. The metabolism of hydroxypyruvic acid was compared with that of C1402 fixation in order to ascertain whether it might be a photosynthetic int...

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), ...

Microalgae identification is extremely difficult. The efficiency of DNA barcoding in microalgae identification involves ideal gene markers and approaches employed, which however, is still under the way. Although Scenedesmus has obtained much research in producing lipids its identification is difficult. Here we present a comprehensive coalescent, distance and character-based DNA barcoding for 11...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of various levels of sublethal temperature (26 degrees C, 31 degrees C, 33 degrees C, 36 degrees C, and 39 degrees C) on growth and heat shock protein (hsp) expression in freshwater green alga Scenedesmus quadricauda. METHODS Impact of selected levels of temperature on growth rate (based on optical density), population count, chlorophyll-a and biomass of th...
