Five microalgae strains, namely Isochrysis galbana, Microchloropsis gaditana, Scenedesmus obliquus, Nannochloropsis oculata and Tetraselmis suecica, were selected as potential candidates for polyunsaturated fatty acids’ production, evaluating biomass productivity their capacity to accumulate high lipid contents under different trophic modes. Microalgae strains cultivated in the presence of 1% g...

Rotifers are widely used in hatcheries to feed small-sized aquatic larvae although one of their disadvantages is the lack zinc and selenium 5- 30-fold lower than copepods, respectively. To improve rotifers quality, different concentrations (2, 4, 5 10 mg L−1 each mineral) were added medium microalgae Isochrysis aff. galbana Nannochloropsis oculata for 4 days, then harvested concentrated rotifer...

Microalgae are a vital resource for the coming years to address concern of decrease in oil reserves and negative impacts fossil fuels on environment. Their utilization is crucial wide range industrial applications. Depending strain, microalgae contain variety chemical components can be treated biochemically or thermochemically. This review thus focuses biochemical mechanisms that used convert a...
