To feed Earth’s growing population, microalgae have been proposed as a source of protein and long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC n-3 PUFAs). Currently, microalgae are mainly sold either as whole biomass, or the economically valuable LC n-3 PUFA fraction is extracted with organic solvents. As an alternative to solvent extraction, pH-driven protein solubilization in water followed by i...

This study aims to know the effect of water-extracted horseradish Moringa oleifera leaf and KW21 fertilizer combination application on density Nannochloropsis sp. It was conducted in Natural Food Laboratory State Polytechnique, Tual. The experiment used complete randomized design with 5 treatments 3 replications: A (25% extract + 75% KW21), B (50% 50% C (75% 25% D (positive control 100% E (nega...

Viruses may be major structuring elements of phytoplankton communities and hence important regulators of nutrient and energy fluxes in aquatic environments. In order to ascertain whether viruses are potentially important in dictating phytoplankton community structure, it is essential to determine the extent to which representative phytoplankton taxa are susceptible to viral infection. We used a...

The production of high-value bioproducts from microalgae biomass has been widely investigated. However, their is hindered by the expensive harvesting process. To date, flocculation followed DAF process accepted as one affordable approaches. In this study, use technique was attempted to harvest marine Nannochloropsis sp. Batch carried out using fabricated unit equipped with several compartments ...
