Recently, microalgae cultivation for different applications, including the production of nutritional and pharmaceutical active compounds has received increasing attention. Among genera, Spirulina (Arthrospira sp.) is one most promising blue-green (Cyanophyta) because it rich in antioxidants, essential amino acids (EAAs), minerals, proteins, polyunsaturated fatty vitamins. It a high protein content (60-70% dry weight), which complete protein, i.e. containing all EAAs. Therefore, currently...
Over the last few years and with increasing global climatic change, international energy crisis shortage of freshwater resources have raised many inquiries about water security energy. Therefore, finding out alternative sustainable sources has become an important universal requirement. Here, we assessed viability exploiting municipal wastewater (WW) as a nutrient-rich growth medium for cultivating pollution-tolerant coccoid green microalga Chlorococcum sp. (Chlorophyceae) to simultaneously...
Microalgae are a potentially valuable source of structurally different and biologically active compounds experiencing pharmaceutical nutraceutical value. Here we compared the antioxidant, in vitro antimicrobial activity, anticancer potential widely investigated green microalga Tetradesmus obliquus less-studied unicellular species Myrmecia bisecta. Based on our findings, T. extracts had much more outstanding antioxidant potentials than those M. bisecta where IC50 values DPPH˙ ABTS˙+ were...
The present experiment was conducted to assess the effects of decomposing rice straw on algal flora as well physical, chemical, and biological-parameters 9 earthen fish ponds 2100m3 for each with one-meter average depth. It 6 months using three treatments. Each pond stocked 6000 fish fries Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Results showed that water quality decreased increased loading rates rice straw. Most parameters including EC, TDS, total alkalinity, phosphorus, NO3, NO2, chlorophyll...
The present study aimed to optimize the culture conditions for algal growth and lipid production of Desmodesmus intermedius. Different environmental factors including nitrogen content, salinity, kinetin hormone, vitamin B12, light intensity were applied individually or in combination using Plackett–Burman statistical experimental design. In addition, impact optimized on fatty acids profile biodiesel quality was studied. Results revealed that maximum biomass individual optimization recorded...
Different growth stages of Ulva lactuca were harvested from different biotopes in the Suez Canal during February through April 2003 and subjected to bioassay detect substances with biological activity. The total alcoholic extract algal material was fractionated into light petroleum, chloroform, ethyl acetate, fatty acid methyl esters unsaponifiable matter. effect extracts more pronounced as antifungal than antibacterial. Petroleum had prominent on Aspergillus niger. Fatty ester a greater...
A pot experiment was conducted to test the effect of two selected seaweeds belonging different taxonomic group's Chlorophyceae (Ulva lactuca) and Rhodophyceae (Jania rubens) as well farmyard manure (FYM) on growth biochemical parameters Trigonella foenum-graecum (fenugreek).Physico-chemical analysis FYM characterization algae including (elemental analysis, hormones pigments) were measured.Also, fenugreek shoot root length, total plant height, leaf area, fresh weight carbohydrates fractions...
Abstract Detection of oleaginous microalgae with high lipid productivity is a crucial feature for biofuel and nutraceutical production. Therefore, screening from different habitats has become highly significant to face the request on these bioresources. Accordingly, present study aimed screen efficiency biodiesel feedstocks ability accumulate essential fatty acids four green ( Chlorolobion braunii, Tetradesmus obliquus, Monoraphidium miutum , Asterarcys quadricellulare ), isolated soil...
