Microalgae perform photosynthesis at a high efficiency under low light conditions. However, bright sunlight, it is difficult to achieve photosynthetic efficiency, because cells absorb more energy than can be converted biochemical energy. Consequently microalgae dissipate part of the absorbed as heat. The objective this study was investigate photobioreactor productivity function biomass specific absorption rate. A strategy circumvent oversaturation exploit with spectral composition that...
The aroma and taste of eight different phototrophic microalgae species were investigated compared with five seaweeds to evaluate their potential as flavor ingredients in plant-based seafood alternatives. To assess performance, commercial flavoring products used a reference during the sensory evaluation chemical odor-active taste-active profiles those algae. Stronger odor observed Rhodomonas salina, Tetraselmis chui Phaeodactylum tricornutum which could be explained by presence important...
The microalgae Rhodomonas sp. is known as an excellent feed source for live organisms such copepods. main benefits of feeding to animals are attributed the relative high polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) level, combination containing both docosahexaenoic (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic (EPA), ratio between these acids (FA). It has been shown that able accumulate valuable metabolites, lipids, under adverse conditions. easiest most inexpensive method induce stress through nitrogen (N) starvation....
Abstract The cryptophyte Rhodomonas sp . is a potential feed source for aquaculture live and resource phycoerythrin (PE) production. This research investigates the influence of light, both quality quantity, on biomass productivity, composition growth rate sp. incident light intensity used in experiments was 50 μmol photons m −2 s −1 , irrespective colour cultivation took place lab-scale flat-panel photobioreactors turbidostat mode. highest productivity volumetric (0.20 g dry weight L day ),...
Abstract Rhodomonas salina is a microalgal species, belonging to the cryptophytes, and widely used as aquaculture feed because of its high nutritional profile phycoerythrin content. This study investigated effect pH on growth, biochemical composition, taste R. when cultivated semi-large scale under natural light conditions. Two tubular photobioreactors (200 L) were for cultivation with sunlight only illumination source. different setpoints applied, 7 8.5. Optimal temperature nutrient...
Abstract The cryptophyte Rhodomonas salina is widely used in aquaculture due to its high nutritional profile. This study aims investigate the effect of salinity and pH on growth, phycoerythrin concentrations, concentrations non-volatile umami taste active compounds R. , using a design experiment approach. was cultivated flat-panel photobioreactor turbidostat mode range (20–40 ‰) (6.5–8.5). strain able grow steadily under all conditions, but optimal productivity 1.17 g dry weight L −1 day...
Rhodomonas sp., is an important microalga for aquaculture feed applications and gained increased research interest over the past few years. While efforts to optimise cultivation of strain have been studied in detail under laboratory conditions, sp. has never grown photobioreactors at large scale outdoor light conditions. To study industrial potential this strain, we cultivated three identical tubular with 200 l working volume each, located a greenhouse using sunlight conditions only. Growth...
