Seaweed presents a sustainable alternative source of valuable fatty acids (FAs) involving omega-3 (n-3) and omega-6 (n-6). As such, there is great potential to reduce pressure on wild fish populations, helping combat overfishing its associated global impacts. This study explored the effect various environmental factors FA content profile Ulva lactuca using indoor photobioreactors. The taxonomic identity U. was confirmed through DNA sequencing 3 markers (rbcL, ITS, tufa). effects temperature...
Crown and root rot of strawberry, caused by Macrophomina phaseolina, have become predominant soilborne diseases strawberry in Israel over the past 5 years. In total, 151 isolates pathogen were isolated from infected plants commercially grown cultivars onto a modified agar medium for genus Macrophomina. Sclerotia viability declined more rapidly soil maintained at 25°C or temperatures fluctuating 18 to 32°C under greenhouse conditions, compared with sclerotia kept 30°C. After 30 40 weeks...
Abstract The use of high-value fatty acids (FA), omega-3 ( n -3), and omega-6 -6) from seaweed could relieve the pressure natural wild fish sources reduce overfishing worldwide. This research is designed to explore how harvest season (winter, spring, summer) culture period influence biomass production yield, lipid content, FA composition in green Ulva sp. studied was grown plastic sleeves with flowthrough seawater Mikhmoret (East Mediterranean, Israel) July 2019 December 2020. species...
Macroalgae (seaweeds) represent a sustainable and alternative source of high-value fatty acids (FAs), including omega-3 (n-3) omega-6 (n-6), which could help alleviate pressure on wild fish stocks mitigate global overfishing. This study analyzed the FA composition field-collected red (Chondracanthus acicularis, Ballia callitriche, Gracilaria sp., Gelidium coulteri), brown (Padina pavonica, Sargassum vulgare, Cystoseira myrica, Dictyota dichotoma, Stephanocystis mundane), green seaweeds (Ulva...
Abstract Strawberries are cultivated either in open fields or greenhouses. Many types of polyethylene films (plastics) utilized heating, water conservation, and plant protection, which all affect fruit development. Different plastics also used during field cultivation for overhead covering protection. Strawberry fruiting may be completely protected by plasticulture, whether grown under low tunnels (cloches) walk-in Drip-irrigation using plastic piping is widely stages strawberry production,...
The valorization of bread waste into high-quality protein and biopolymers using the halophilic microorganism Haloferax mediterranei presents a sustainable approach to food management resource optimization. This study successfully coproduced poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) biopolymer with biomass content 8.0 ± 0.1 g L −1 productivity 11.1 mg h . fermentation process employed 3.0% w/v enzymatically hydrolyzed waste. amino acid profile cell revealed total 358 kg dry weight...
Since agriculture is the highest consumer of water, there are many trials to improve water use efficiency especially in arid countries. Thus, world developed irrigation techniques that could decrease use. In this paper analyzed new technique (AutoAgronom) used greenhouse cucumber (two varieties Rocky and Champion) production order Israel. AutoAgronom tested against conventional system where drip was used. (AA) follows pH, Electrical conductivity, oxygen level nitrates on which basis done....
Strawberries are grown in Israel during the winter season, with fruit being harvested from early November to May. Most of strawberry cultivars commercially originate national breeding program Volcani Institute. Israeli growers have a very narrow window opportunity international market, exporting their premium berries European markets before yields arrive Egypt, Morocco and Spain. Approximately 20% fresh (2,000 tons) exported before, after New Year holidays bring high prices. ARO's cv....
Abstract The idea of in-situ integrating poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) sieves in a single-cell protein (SCP) represents promising approach to enhance the properties microbial biomass as alternatives. Archaea SCP/PHBV matrix was successfully produced with concentration 8.0 ± 0.1 g L -1 and productivity 11.1 mg h using Haloferax mediterranei . This achieved by employing 30 enzymatically hydrolyzed bread waste (BW) 200 red sea salt at 42 °C shaking 150 rpm for 3 days....
The avocado fruit processing industry produces up to 1.3M tons of agro-waste annually. Chemical analysis seeds waste (ASW) showed that it is rich in carbohydrates (464.7 ± 21.4 g kg-1) and starch (316.3 13.7 also contains proteins (37.19 1.507 kg-1), lipids (18.2 0.97 kg-1). Optimized microbial fermentation Cobetia amphilecti on glucose ASW generated poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) 5.11 0.27 L-1 2.10 0.13 yield, respectively. process which a novel substrate was utilized has been further...
