abstract this study was performed to compare the efficiency of 6 microalgae namely dunaliella tertiolecta, tetraselmis suecica, chlorella sp., (green algae), nannochloropsis oculata, spirolina sp.(blue-green algae) cheatocerus sp. (diatoma),  and isochrices sp. (haptophytae) on the growth, survival and reproduction efficacy in artemia urmiana in laboratory conditions. artemia cysts were harvest...

This study aimed to statistically prove the influence of salinity on growth kinetics and intracellular lipid accumulation in microalgae. The species Chlorella sp., Scenedesmus acuminatus, Nannochloropsis Monoraphidium contortum Pediastrum tetras were studied, which isolated Brazilian semi-arid region cultivated synthetic media with addition NaCl. From crops, kinetics, dry biomass production con...

Marine algae of the genus Nannochloropsis are promising producers of biofuel precursors and nutraceuticals and are also harvested commercially for aquaculture feed. We have used quick-freeze, deep-etch electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and carbohydrate analyses to characterize the architecture of the Nannochloropsis gaditana (strain CCMP 526) cell wall, whose recalci...

This study presents experimental measurements of the biochemical methane production for whole and lipid extracted Nannochloropsis salina. Results show whole microalgae produced 430 cm(3)-CH4 g-volatile solids(-1) (g-VS) (σ=60), 3 times more methane than was produced by the LEA, 140 cm(3)-CH4 g-VS(-1) (σ=30). Results illustrate current anaerobic modeling efforts in microalgae to biofuel assessme...

This study was performed to compare the efficiency of six microalgae namely Dunaliella tertiolecta, Tetraselmis suecica, Nannochloropsis oculata, Chaetoceros sp., Chlorella sp. and Spirolina sp. on the growth, survival rate and reproduction efficacy in Artemia urmiana in laboratory conditions. Artemia cysts were harvested from Urmia Lake and hatched according to the standard method. Live microa...
