Dunaliella salina is a halotolerant, photoautotrophic marine microalga and one of the richest sources natural carotenoids but also shows potential as novel food source with high protein quality. This study sought to optimise production biomass, amino acids from D. salina, alongside using two-stage cultivation approach based on use light different intensities quality, i.e., white, red blue LED l...

the individual effects of cadmium concentrations (0, 0.005, 0.05and 0.5 mg. l-1) on the growth(cell number and chlorophyll content) and beta-carotene synthesis of two strains (iranian and australian) ofgreen algae d.salina have been studied for a duration of 36 days. the effects of these cadmiumconcentrations on the amount of cell magnesium and calcium have also been evaluated. an increase inca...

Abstract Dunaliella salina ( D. ) has been exploited as a novel expression system for the field of genetic engineering. However, owing to low or inconsistent target proteins, it greatly restricted practical production recombinant proteins. Since accurate gene editing function clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/Cas system, ?-carotene hydroxylase was chosen an examp...

one of the important bottle-necks in production of microalgae based biodiesel is thelack of an efficient method for harvesting of microalgae from the culture medium. in thisstudy, the electroflocculation method was developed for harvesting of microalgaedunaliella cells from culture medium. the effect of several parameters such as thecurrent density, electrical conductivity of culture medium, ti...
