In this work, COSMO-SAC was used to calculate infinite dilution activity coefficients (??) of carotenoids in CO2+ethanol mixtures as a theoretical approach evaluate the effect solvent composition on solute solubility. an experimental approach, central composite design employed use supercritical extract chlorophylls and from microalga Chlorella sorokiniana. The carotenoid profiles extracts were ...

Cadmium is one of the most common heavy metals in contaminated aquatic environments and toxic contaminants for phytoplankton. Nevertheless, there are not enough studies focused on effect this metal algae. Through a proteomic approach, work shows how Cd can alter growth, cell morphology metabolism microalga Chlorella sorokiniana. Using sequential window acquisition all theoretical fragment ion s...

Microalgae are a natural source of lipids, carotenoids, and other value-added compounds. The combination nutrients their precise ratio have significant impact on the productivity microalgae-mediated biomass, lipid, chlorophyll, carotenoid production three microalgae species, namely, Monoraphidium sp., Chlorella sorokiniana, Scenedesmus obliquus, were investigated by employing standard photoauto...

Cancer cases result in 13% of all deaths worldwide. Unwanted side effects in patients under conventional treatments have led to the search for beneficial alternative therapies. Microalgae synthesize compounds with known in vitro and in vivo biological activity against different tumor cell lines. Therefore, native microalgae from the State of Nuevo Leon, Mexico may become a potential source of a...
