Omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LC PUFAs) and vitamin D3 are essential components of human nutrition. A regular diet is highly deficient in n-3 PUFAs. Fish like salmon recommended the as they a major source high-value PUFAs D3. The levels these nutrients have been decreasing over last few years farmed salmon, whose production urgently needs sustainable sources nutrients. microalga Nannochloropsis gaditana (NG) known for its naturally high potential eicosapentaenoic (EPA,...
In this paper, a systematic methodology is shown for the scaling-up of Nannochloropsis gaditana production aquaculture uses. First, an adequate culture medium was developed, prepared using fertilizers instead pure chemicals. Subsequently, performance N. modelled as function average irradiance; model being validated in continuous experiments. The used to determine optimal dilution rate well expected biomass concentration and productivity at conditions. Finally, outdoor experiments were...
Abstract Municipal wastewater phycoremediation represents a promising circular economy-based process for reclamation used to recover water and produce biomass. This study aimed evaluate pilot-scale system, using the most efficient strain of microalgae in Atacama Desert. Nitrogen phosphorus removal, as well biomass growth, were compared different treatments, namely Muriellopsis sp., Scenedesmus almeriensis, Chlamydomonas segnis, Chlorella pyrenoidosa vulgaris. The sp. S. scaled up 20-L bubble...
In the present study, nine Enterobacteriaceae species in wastewater were isolated and identified, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) was developed for detection of by designing primers based on mcr-1, KPC, OXA-23, VIM genes, which are recognized markers antimicrobial resistance (AMR) transmission during microalgal bioremediation treatment. The assays successfully detected four strains positive mcr-1 gene-asociated ( Acinetobacter baylyi , Klebsiella pneumoniae Morganella morganii...
