Dunaliella salina (D. salina) is a potential source of lipids and subsequent biodiesel production. However lipid production from dependent on biomass production rate and lipid content. To get more lipid, production efficiency need to be improved. The aim was to application of two-stage culture strategy for improved microalgal growth and lipid Production. In this study the culture was grown unde...

Abstract The isolate is the consortia of endosymbiont bacteria isolated from seagrasses E. acoroides and T. hemprichii . two isolates these bacterial can inhibit growth dinoflagellate Porphyridium sp. algicidal activities are 94.1% 92.8%, respectively. However, values BG plankton culture lower; they 57.1% 48.6%, respectively, which shows that seagrass endosymbionts group very good good. perform...

In this research, we investigated the cytotoxic mechanisms of Cochlodinium polykrikoidescell lysate on isolated rat liver hepatocytes.This micro algae is responsible for a severe and widespread harmful algal bloom in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman (2008-2009). Isolated hepatocytes were obtained by collagenase perfusion of Sprague-Dawley rat liver.According to our results, incubation of algal...

We report two new algal records from the Maltese islands: Hincksia mitchelliae (= Feldmannia mitchelliae) (Phaeophyceae) and Palisada tenerrima (Rhodophyceae). The former species was grown in culture an Ulva sp. blade, while latter collected field. Our study employed innovative integrative approach including morphological criteria as well molecular analysis. DNA data subsequent phylogenetic ana...

Disturbance in coral reef environments commonly results in an algal community dominated by highly productive, small filamentous forms and cyanobacteria, collectively known as algal turf. Research on the types of disturbance responsible for this community structure has concentrated mainly on biological disturbance in the form of grazing, although physical and other forms of biological disturbanc...

There is growing evidence that the spatial and temporal incidence of harmful algal blooms is increasing, posing potential risks to human health and ecosystem sustainability. Currently there are no US Federal guidelines, Water Quality Criteria and Standards, or regulations concerning the management of harmful algal blooms. Algal blooms in freshwater are predominantly cyanobacteria, some of which...

Steady state, nutrient-saturated phytoplankton growth can be quantitatively described by four equations: an empirical equation relating growth rate ~1, to absorbed irradiance [; a different equation relating b and 4 derived from the empirical equation relating instantaneous rate of gross photosynthesis to irradiance; an empirical equation relating the respiratory rate constant R, to growth rate...

Renewable Algal Energy, LLC (Kingsport, Tenn.) Algal Biodiesel via Innovative Harvesting and Aquaculture Systems Renewable Algal Energy LLC, will leverage its experience in algal aquaculture, harvesting, and extraction, to demonstrate at small commercial-scale, improved, low cost, energy-efficient methods for harvesting and dewatering algae that contribute to an algal oil product that is cost-c...
