Diatoms are eukaryotic microalgae that contain genes from various sources, including bacteria and the secondary endosymbiotic host. Due to this unique combination of genes, diatoms taxonomically functionally distinct other algae vascular plants confer novel metabolic capabilities. Based on genome annotation, we performed a genome-scale network reconstruction for marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum. their origin, possess complex chloroplast structure which complicates prediction...
Abstract This study monitored the biomass composition of Saccharina latissima during a potential harvesting season on West coast Sweden, in order to find suitable harvest times for biorefinery purposes. Specimens S. were sampled at three locations June, August and October was analysed its macromolecular composition, as well content several specific compounds, e.g. sugars fatty acids. PERMANOVA analyses showed that there significant difference among time points. The total carbohydrate...
The cultivation and processing of microalgal biomass is resource- energy-intensive, negatively affecting the sustainability profitability producing bulk commodities, limiting this platform to manufacture relatively small quantities high-value compounds. A biorefinery approach where all fractions are valorized might improve case for lower-value products. However, these systems still likely operate very close thresholds energy balance, with wide-ranging environmental societal impacts. It thus...
Saccharina latissima biomass cultivated along the Swedish west coast was subjected to four different scalable preservation methods after harvest; freezing, sun-drying, oven-drying and ensiling. Freeze-drying freezing at −80 °C were also included provide dry wet references. The effects of on composition (on weight, DW, basis), recovery as well properties high-quality protein, alginate biogas evaluated. Sun-drying significantly reduced fatty acid content seaweeds thereby concentrated ash in...
Macroalgal biomass has the potential to become an important source of chemicals and commodities in a future biorefinery. Currently, production macroalgal is expensive content high-value compounds often low. Therefore, this study biochemical composition Ulva intestinalis along Swedish west coast east up Stockholm was assessed with aim determining how potentially valuable compounds, such as rhamnose, iduronic acid PUFAs, could be maximized by utilizing natural variation choice marine...
Based on the ability of microalgae to purify industrial processing waters, overall aim this study was evaluate whether currently wasted shrimp waters could be used as microalgal growth media produce new protein-enriched food and feed ingredients. Low molecular weight (LMW) fractions boiling water (SBW) which had been pre-flocculated using alginate (AL), carrageenan (CA), chitosan (CH) or Superfloc C-592 recover protein via flotation, were for cultivation Chlorella sorokiniana Auxenochlorella...
Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of macroalgae offers a promising route to advanced biofuel production, although the distinct biochemical compositions different species can lead widely product yields and compositions. On basis this, there is an implicit assumption that exists universal optimal feedstock for bioenergy-based biorefinery, which could be exploited across wide region. However, no studies date have examined effect this large geographical variation on single production. In study, 24...
Phosphorus (P) is a critical element for life on Earth. However, readily extractable ores are being exhausted rapidly and combination of increasing usage, rising costs numerous geopolitical problems expected to impact food security industry sectors within the next few decades. This hence represents another great anthropogenic challenge near-future issue. P needed in production microalgal biomass; indeed value microalgae similar or exceeds that potential biofuels, demanding 100% recovery...
