Gelidium corneum and its solid by-product from agar extraction are sources of h...
Batista, Joana; Lopes, Diana; Neves, Bruna B.; Pais, Ana Rita; Pinho, Marisa; Moreira, Ana S. P.; Conde, Tiago; Bonciarelli, Stefano; Goracci, LauraThe red alga Gelidium corneum is commonly harvested for agar extraction, producing significant biomass residue that remains underutilized. Gelidium corneum and its residue represent promising sources of high-value compounds, including lipid ingredients, encompassing omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, with potential applications in foods and cosmetics. Algae lipids are quite diverse and complex, ho...
Comparative analysis of isoprostanoid profiles in Chlorella sorokiniana grown u...
Conde, Tiago; Lopes, Diana; Gros, Valérie; Reversat, Guillaume; Oger, Camille; Galano, Jean-Marie; Vigor, Claire; Rodrigues, Alexandre M. C.Oxylipins are bioactive lipid mediators derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), with roles in oxidative stress responses, immunomodulation, and inflammation. While microalgae are recognized as valuable sources of oxylipins, their profiles remain less studied across different species and cultivation conditions. In this study, we characterized the non-enzymatic oxylipin profile of Chlorella sorokiniana ...
Bioactive lipids in Dunaliella salina: implications for functional foods and he...
Pais, Rita; Conde, Tiago; Neves, Bruna B.; Pinho, Marisa; Coelho, Marta; Pereira, Hugo; Rodrigues, Alexandre M. C.; Domingues, Pedro; Gomes, Ana MariaDunaliella salina is a green microalga extensively explored for β-carotene production, while knowledge of its lipid composition is still limited and poorly investigated. Among lipids, polar lipids have been highlighted as bioactive phytochemicals with health-promoting properties. This research aimed to provide an in-depth lipidome profiling of D. salina using liquid and gas chromatography coupled with mass spec...
Short-communication: study of fatty acid metabolites in microbial conjugated fa...
Fontes, Ana Luiza; Neves, Bruna; Conde, Tiago; Couto, Daniela; Pimentel, Lígia Leão; Rodríguez-Alcalá, Luis Miguel; Domingues, M. RosárioMicrobially enriched food in conjugated linoleic (CLA) and conjugated linolenic (CLNA) acids is intensively studied nowadays. The conversion of linoleic (LA) and α-linolenic acids (α-LNA) into these compounds may involve different fatty acid (FA) intermediates. This research aimed to investigate potential FA byproducts in milk during microbial CLA/CLNA-enrichment using Bifidobacterium breve DSM 20091. Milk ferm...
Insight into the efficiency of microalgae’ lipidic extracts as photosensitizers...
Mendonça, Inês; Silva, Daniela; Conde, Tiago; Maurício, Tatiana; Cardoso, Helena; Pereira, Hugo; Bartolomeu, Maria; Vieira, Cátia; Domingues, M. RosárioAntibacterial resistance causes around 1.27 million deaths annually around the globe and has been recognized as a top 3 priority health threat. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is considered a promising alternative to conventional antibiotic treatments. Algal lipid extracts have shown antibacterial effects when used as photosensitizers (PSs) in aPDT. In this work we assessed the photodynamic efficiency...
Antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-Inflammatory activities of the mucus of the...
Lopes, Diana; Cunha, Eva; Conde, Tiago; Moreira, Anthony; Cruz, Sónia; Domingues, Pedro; Oliveira, Manuela; Cartaxana, PauloElysia crispata (Sacoglossa, Gastropoda) is a tropical sea slug known for its ability to incorporate functional chloroplasts from a variety of green macroalgae, a phenomenon termed kleptoplasty. This sea slug, amenable to laboratory cultivation, produces mucus, a viscous secretion that serves diverse purposes including protection, locomotion, and reproduction. In this study, we profiled the antimicrobial, antio...

Evaluation of Lipid Extracts from the Marine Fungi Emericellopsis cladophorae a...
Abraúl, Mariana; Alves, Artur; Hilário, Sandra; Melo, Tânia; Conde, Tiago; Domingues, Maria Rosário; Rey, FelisaMarine environments occupy more than 70% of the earth's surface, integrating very diverse habitats with specific characteristics. This heterogeneity of environments is reflected in the biochemical composition of the organisms that inhabit them. Marine organisms are a source of bioactive compounds, being increasingly studied due to their health-beneficial properties, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antib...
