Microalgae and cyanobacteria are photosynthetic and unicellular organisms that contain considerable amounts of proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and polyunsaturated fatty acids, among others, with applications in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food industries. These microorganisms can accumulate protein up to 70 % of total biomass depending on the microalgal strain, hence they have been regarded as an alterna...


Microalgae and cyanobacteria as natural sources of antioxidant enzymes and enzy...

Microalgae and cyanobacteria biomass can be cultivated in large amounts, producing a variety of bioactive compounds. As a result, various industries have begun to study the potential of this biomass in a wide range of applications such as biofuel production, environmental remediation for contaminated soil and water, food supplements, and as a source of feed for aquaculture. The cultivation conditions have a pro...

Nunes, Nuno; Gonçalves, Bruno; Coutinho, Diogo; Travassos, Bruno

Players’ performance in soccer results from their ability to use the environmental information to sustain their decision-making pro- cess. However, when players are exposed to different rules, as unbalanced number scenarios, different behaviours may emerge compared to equal number. This study aimed to explore the effects of playing different numerical unbalanced ball possession small-sided games on external wor...


From a heavy metal perspective, is macroalgal biomass from Madeira Archipelago ...

Nunes, Nuno; Ferraz, Sónia; Venuleo, Marianna; Barros, Ana I. R. N. A.; Carvalho, Miguel A. A. Pinheiro de

Macroalgae are considered a valuable source of several compounds with nutritional, nutraceutical, cosmeceutical, and phar maceutical applications. They are also used for crop fertilization and biofortifcation by introducing important minerals into the soil essential for crop productivity. At the same time, however, they are known bio-accumulators of some heavy metals. In this work, we assessed the content of 7 ...


Marine macroalgae for industrial extraction of valuable biofunctional compounds...

Nunes, Nuno; Barreto, Maria do Carmo; Carvalho, Miguel A. A. Pinheiro de

Algal secondary metabolites have several biotechnological, pharmaeceutical, industral, cosmetic, and other commercial applications. This new book highlights the recent advances in algal active metabolites, emphasizing their pharmaceutical, therapeutic, nutraceutical, and industral potential. It first provides an introduction to algal metabolites and discusses their applications. It then looks at microalgal- the...


Exploration of the Age-Category Soccer Performance Effects During Ball Possessi...

Nunes, Nuno; Gonçalves, Bruno; Fenner, Jonathan; Owen, Adam; Travassos, Bruno

Small-sided games have been adopted as an integral part of soccer training, however, the use of task constraints by the coach and the action capabilities of both players and teams require further investigation. The aim of this investigation was to explore the age-category effects (under-11: U11, under-15: U15 and under-23: U23) on external training workloads (total distance covered, distance covered while walki...
