Growth strategies of Chlorella vulgaris in seawater for a high production of bi...
Rautenberger, Ralf; Détain, Alexandre; Skjånes, Kari; Schulze, Peter S.C.; Kiron, Viswanath; Morales-Sánchez, DanielaChlorella vulgaris is a freshwater microalga that synthesises large amounts of saturated lipids, which makes it suitable for production of bioenergy and biofuels. Since its cultivation usually requires freshwater, it competes with agriculture, economic development and ecological conservation for this limited natural resource. This study investigated the possibility of the partial replacement of freshwater by se...
Temperature-dependent lipid accumulation in the polar marine microalga chlamydo...
Morales-Sánchez, Daniela; Schulze, Peter S.C.; Kiron, Viswanath; Wijffels, Rene H.The exploration of cold-adapted microalgae offers a wide range of biotechnological applications that can be used for human, animal, and environmental benefits in colder climates. Previously, when the polar marine microalga Chlamydomonas malina RCC2488 was cultivated under both nitrogen replete and depleted conditions at 8°C, it accumulated lipids and carbohydrates (up to 32 and 49%, respectively), while protein...
