The review emphasizes the unique adaptability mechanism of pH-resilient algae, which can be used for a variety biotechnological applications critical to accelerating transition sustainable algae-based economy.
Oleaginous microalgae and yeasts represent promising candidates for large-scale production of lipids, which can be utilized drop-in biofuels, nutraceuticals, pigments, cosmetics. However, low lipid productivity costly downstream processing continue to hamper the commercial deployment oleaginous microorganisms. Strain improvement play an essential role in development such industrial microorganisms by increasing hence reducing costs. The main means strain are random mutagenesis, adaptive...
Abstract Supplementing cultivation media with exogenous carbon sources enhances biomass and lipid production in microalgae. Utilization of renewable organic from agricultural residues can potentially reduce the cost algae cultivation, while enhancing sustainability. In present investigation a medium was developed sweet sorghum bagasse for Chlorella under mixotrophic conditions. Using response surface methodology, optimal values critical process parameters were determined, namely inoculum...
Aquatic algae are a rich source of wide range bioproducts intended to compete for sizable global market share. Thanks the gradual shift towards use natural products, microalgae-derived bioactive compounds offer an ecofriendly and vegan option cosmeceutical sector, whose products aim improve skin health but currently consist mostly synthetic chemicals. In particular, algae-derived vitamins their precursors being explored widely used in cosmeceuticals industry as that contain biologically...
Cryptococcosis is an emerging and recalcitrant systemic infection occurring in immunocompromised patients. This invasive fungal difficult to treat due the ability of Cryptococcus neoformans laurentii form biofilms resistant standard antifungal treatment. The toxicity concern these drugs has stimulated search for natural therapeutic alternatives. Essential oil their active components (EO-ACs) have shown possess variety biological pharmacological properties. In present investigation effect six...
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomic approach is a high-throughput fingerprinting technique that allows rapid snapshot of metabolites without any prior knowledge the organism. To demonstrate applicability NMR-based metabolomics in field microalgal-based bioremediation, novel freshwater microalga Scenedesmus sp. IITRIND2 showed hypertolerance to As(III, V) was chosen for evaluating metabolic perturbations during arsenic stress both its oxidation states As(III) and As(V). Using...
Oleaginous yeasts have emerged as a sustainable source of renewable oils for liquid biofuels. However, biodiesel production from them has few constraints with respect to their cell disruption and lipid extraction techniques. The oleaginous commonly includes dewatering drying biomass, which requires energy time. aim this work was establish process the wet biomass applying acid catalyzed hot water, well microwave, rapid ultrasonication-microwave treatment together conventional Bligh Dyer...
Harnessing the halotolerant characteristics of microalgae provides a viable alternative for sustainable biomass and triacylglyceride (TAG) production. Scenedesmus sp. IITRIND2 is fast growing fresh water microalga that has capability to thrive in high saline environments. To understand microalga's adaptability, we studied its physiological metabolic flexibility by studying differential protein, metabolite lipid expression profiles using metabolomics, proteomics, real-time polymerase chain...
Bioprospecting of microalgae capable growing and accumulating high amounts lipids in salinity conditions such as seawater can substantially improve the economic vaibaility algal biodiesel production. In view this, a fresh water microalga, Scenedesmus sp. IITRIND2, was cultivated under saline to assess its halotolerant behavior potential feedstock. The microalga efficiently adapted 100% salinity, enhanced lipid content by 52%, thus yielded ∼3.2 fold higher productivity compared Bold's basal...
