Maximal productivity of a 14 mm light-path panel photobioreactor under high irradiance was determined. Under continuous illumination of 2,100 micromol photons m(-2) s(-1) with red light emitting diodes (LEDs) the effect of dilution rate on photobioreactor productivity was studied. The light intensity used in this work is similar to the maximal irradiance on a horizontal surface at latitudes low...

BACKGROUND Bipolaris sorokiniana is a filamentous fungus that causes spot blotch disease in cereals like wheat and has severe economic consequences. However, information on the identities and role of the cell wall-degrading enzymes (CWDE) in B. sorokiniana is very limited. Several fungi produce CWDE like glycosyl hydrolases (GHs) that help in host cell invasion. To understand the role of these ...

Abstract Galdieria spp. (Rhodophyta) are polyextremophile microalgae known for their important antioxidant properties in different biological systems. Nowadays, the beneficial and bio-stimulant effect of microalgal extracts is widely tested on crops. Here, first time, potential positive effects aqueous from were a second culture Chlorella sorokiniana cultures supplemented with phlegrea (EC) sho...

The chlorophyte microalga Chlorella sorokiniana was tested for the bioremediation of heavy metals pollution. It cultured with different concentrations Cu2+, Cd2+, As (III) and (V), showing a significant inhibition on its growth at 500 µM 250 750 AsO33- 5 mM AsO43- or higher. Moreover, consumption ammonium also studied, differences higher than 1 Cu2+ (III), (V). determination intracellular conce...
