Microalgae-derived lipids are an alternative to vegetable and fossil oils, but lipid content and quality vary among microalgae strains. Selection of a suitable strain for lipid production is therefore of paramount importance. Based on published results for 96 species, nine strains were selected to study their biomass, total fatty acid, and triacylglycerol (TAG) production under nitrogen-suffici...

Microalgae with high oil content are only alternative for decreasing fossil fuel supplies, but more work remains to be done improve the lipid of microalgae strains. In this study, strain improvement is using microwave radiation in Scenedesmus obliquus increase production triacylglycerol, which main source biodiesel. Microalgal culture were exposure varied irradiation over different time periods...

A total of 480 Arbor Acres Broiler chicks (mixed sex) from 1 to 35 days age were divided randomly into 4 treatments evaluate the impact defatted Scenedesmus obliquus biomass (DAB) on broiler performance. The DAB was supplemented diets with levels 0, 0.25, 0.50, 1.00% one-day-old age. samples analyzed in triplicates. productive traits measured weekly and biochemical indices at end trial. Data st...

Microalgae have great potential to become a new crop that could significantly impact the world's need for food in 21st century. Despite their as ingredient, microalgae social acceptance food. In addition, organoleptic traits, such aroma, are key factors humans accept part of diet. this sense, some requirements culture, species, and environmental conditions extremely important these microorganis...

Chloroplast-free mutant cells C-2A ' of the green algae Scenedesmus obliquus lack thioredoxin / , which functions in the light activation of chloroplast enzymes, but do con­ tain the regular thioredoxins I and II. When dark-grown algae are transferred to light, thioredoxin / activity appears rapidly and increases in parallel with photosynthetic ac­ tivities; however it precedes chlorophyll bios...

Purification of a soluble cytochrome c6 from the unicellular green alga Scenedesmus obliquus by a simple and rapid method is described. The purification procedure includes ammonium sulfate precipitation and non-denaturating PAGE. The N-terminal sequence of the first 20 amino acids was determined and shows 85% similarity and 75% identity to the sequence of cytochrome c6 from the green alga Monor...
