Growth performance, biochemical composition and sedimentation velocity of Tetra...
Trovão, Mafalda; Pereira, Hugo; Silva, Joana; Páramo, Jaime; Quelhas, Pedro; Santos, Tamara; Silva, Joana T.; Machado, Adriana; Gouveia, LuísaBiomass harvesting is one of the most expensive steps of the whole microalgal production pipeline. Therefore, the present work aimed to understand the effect of salinity on the growth performance, biochemical composition and sedimentation velocity of Tetraselmis sp. CTP4, in order to establish an effective low-cost pilot-scale harvesting system for this strain. At lab scale, similar growth performance was obtai...
Scale-up and large-scale production of Tetraselmis sp CTP4 (Chlorophyta) for CO...
Pereira, Hugo; Páramo, Jaime; Silva, Joana; Marques, Ana; Barros, Ana; Maurício, Dinis; Santos, Tamára; Schulze, Peter; Barros, Raúl; Gouveia, LuisaABSTRACT: Industrial production of novel microalgal isolates is key to improving the current portfolio of available strains that are able to grow in large-scale production systems for different biotechnological applications, including carbon mitigation. In this context, Tetraselmis sp. CTP4 was successfully scaled up from an agar plate to 35-and 100-m(3) industrial scale tubular photobioreactors (PBR). Growth w...
