In recent decades, marine microorganisms have become known for their ability to produce a wide variety of secondary bioactive metabolites. Several compounds been isolated from the development novel bioactives food and pharmaceutical industries. this study, number microalgae were evaluated antimicrobial activity against gram-positive gram-negative bacteria, including plant pathogens, using various extraction techniques assays. Disc diffusion spot-on-lawn assays conducted confirm activity. To...
Bacterial isolates obtained from the rhizosphere of Arabidopsis and a plantless compost potting mix were screened for anti-oomycete activity against Phytophthora capsici, citricola, palmivora cinnamomi. Three out 48 exhibited more than 65% inhibition all tested species selected further studies. These strains, named UQ154, UQ156 UQ202, are closely related to Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, velezensis Acinetobacter sp., respectively, based on 16S rDNA sequence analysis. The evaluated their ability...
Fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids (FAHFAs) are a newly discovered lipid class known for their potential anti-inflammatory and insulin-sensitizing properties. A sustainable efficient synthesis route is essential to realize the FAHFAs enable cost-effective, large-scale production. Enzymatic synthesis, favored its scalability environmental impact, preferred approach. Candida (Moesziomyces) antarctica lipase (CalA), previously thermostability limited ability catalyze FAHFA esterification,...
Nannochloropsis sp. has been a very attractive microalgae species because of its high omega-3 fatty acid content. However, it is also one the with strongest cell wall. Currently, energy-intensive mechanical techniques and harmful flammable organic solvents are used for extracting lipids from biomass. Thus, in this study, cholinium [Ch] amino acid-based ionic liquids (ILs) were investigated their capability to extract Among all ILs tested, arginate ([Ch][Arg]) extracted highest amount leaving...
Phaeodactylum tricornutum is a lipid-rich marine diatom that contains high level of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). In an effort to reduce costs for large-scale cultivation this microalga, study first established New BBM medium (0.3 x strength with only 3% the initial phosphate level) replace traditional F/2 medium. could grow in extremely low concentrations (25 µM), without compromising EPA content. presence sea salts, silicate addition was not...
For efficient downstream processing, harvesting remains as one of the challenges in producing Nannochloropsis biomass, a microalga with high-value omega-3 oils. Flocculation is an effective, low-energy, low-cost method to harvest microalgae. Chitosan has been shown be effective food-grade flocculant; however, commercial chitosan sourced from crustaceans, which disadvantages including concerns over heavy-metal contamination. Thus, this study tests flocculation potential mushroom chitosan. Our...
Salinization is gradually increasing over cropping soils and challenging Governments in many countries, including Australia. There has been a high demand for utilizing arid semi-arid land sustainable food production. Currently, the main crops forage plants are salt sensitive, while halophytes can tolerate wide range of salinities. Samphire an Australian indigenous edible halophyte belongs to genus Tecticornia . It underutilized, succulent plant growing on or land. Most samphire species have...
Abstract Food‐grade rather than synthetic or chemical flocculants are needed for microalgae harvesting by settling, if used food products. Chitosan is effective in freshwater microalgae, but it expensive and typically not suitable marine like Nannochloropsis . To minimize costs food‐grade flocculation, a number of potentially important parameters considered, including chitosan solubility optimized chitosan‐mediated flocculation sp. BR2 five‐factor central composite design experiment. Results...
Abstract Synthesis, characterization, and FRET interaction of pyrene‐tagged β‐hydroxy acid perylen‐3‐ylmethylmethacrylate co‐ N ‐dodecylmethacrylamide polymer are described. The fluorescent donor, acid‐pyrene boronic ester was synthesized from commercially available alkyl ketene dimer via subsequent hydrolysis, reduction esterification providing the donor. Conversely, acceptor by co‐polymerization N‐dodecylmethacryamide perylen‐3‐ylmethylmethacrylate, where latter prepared perylene in three...
