The nutritional requirements of novel microalgal strains are key for their effective cultivation and metabolite content. Therefore, the optimization heterotrophic photoautotrophic culture media is crucial Chlorococcum amblystomatis growth. Heterotrophic biomass samples were characterized to identify differences between composition biotechnological potential. Media through surface response methodology led 44.9 51.2% increments in C. amblystomatis-specific growth rates under growth,...
Producing microalgae with agricultural drainage water (ADW) allows recycling and nutrients, the production of a biofertilizer, avoiding receiving waters' contamination. Chlorella vulgaris Scenedesmus obliquus were cultivated using ADW standard media supplementation presented higher productivities, relatively to control industrial growth medium (using freshwater). Selected strains grown outdoors in pilot flat panel photobioreactors, reaching 2.20 g L−1 for S. 1.15 C. vulgaris, degrading...
Changes in eating behaviour of university students are common and widely studied. Although the risk developing disorders seems to be obvious among nutrition students, there is a lack research this field. This study aimed to: determine Dietetics Nutrition (DN) through comparison behaviours, food habits, nutritional status, body composition physical activity with those other college (from health non-health degrees).Cross-sectional comparative study. The sample included 189 female aged 18 25...
Microalgae are currently considered to be a promising feedstock for biodiesel production. However, significant research efforts crucial improve the current biomass and lipid productivities under real outdoor production conditions. In this context, batch, continuous semi-continuous operation regimes were compared during Spring/Summer seasons in 2.6 m3 tubular photobioreactors select most suitable one of oleaginous microalga Nannochloropsis oceanica. Results obtained revealed that N. oceanica...
Growth in most microalgal mass cultivation systems is light-limited, particularly raceway ponds (RWP) where the light path higher. Artificial lighting can be a promising solution to diminishing dark zones and enhance productivity. Therefore, our goal was prevent cell shift from photosynthesis respiration-only stage by resorting LED illumination. Nannochloropsis oceanica cultures were accordingly grown outdoors preliminary small-scaleexperiment, followed pilot-scale trials. In former, three...
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) (exossomes, microvesicles and apoptotic bodies) have been well acknowledged as mediators of intercellular communications in prokaryotes eukaryotes. Lipids are essential molecular components EVs but at the moment knowledge about lipid composition function lipids is limited for now none lipidomic studies Giardia was described. Therefore, focus current study to conduct, first time, characterization polar lipidome, namely phospholipid sphingolipid profiles G. lamblia...
<span>Como parte del perfeccionamiento de la asignatura Química General para Farmacia, en el colectivo misma se han desarrollado una serie trabajos metodológicos, encaminados a elevar proceso docente educativo. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo presentar un sistema clases prácticas, seminarios y laboratorios donde vinculan los aspectos químicos con práctica farmacéutica, integran conocimientos temas utilizando métodos activos enseñanza.</span>
