Isolation, characterization, and validation of oleaginous, multi-trophic, and haloalkaline-tolerant microalgae for two-stage cultivation

Microalgae for the production of lipid and carotenoids: a review with focus on stress regulation and adaptation

“…2 ). In general, lipids can be over-produced by microalgae by introducing stress at the second cultivation stage, for instance nitrogen depletion [ 26 ], light intensity [ 27 ], temperature [ 28 ], salt concentration [ 29 ], or iron concentration in the second stage [ 30 ]. In one approach, microalgae were grown under red LEDs (660 nm) in the first phase to obtain the maximum biomass production, and stressed in the second phase using green LEDs (520 nm) to stimulate lipid accumulation [ 31 ].…”

Lipid production by yeasts growing on biodiesel-derived crude glycerol: strain selection and impact of substrate concentration on the fermentation efficiency

“…,b; Kitcha and Cheirslip ; Louhasakul and Cheirsilp ; Wensel et al . ), or as a substrate for the production of metabolic compounds (such as citric acid, acetic acid, polyols, etc.) by yeast strains (Papanikolaou et al .…”

“…Single cell oils are of great interest for industrial biotechnology, since they can be used either as replacements of high-added value oils and fats rarely found in the plant or animal kingdom, or they can constitute precursors of the synthesis of '2nd' or '3rd' generation biodiesel Aggelis 2009, 2011a,b;Abghari and Chen 2014). Although (crude, biodiesel-derived) glycerol has been used in many studies as a substrate for the production of SCOs by several eukaryotic microbial strains (Meesters et al 1996;Papanikolaou et al 2002;Chi et al 2007;Pyle et al 2008;Andr e et al 2009Andr e et al , 2010Liang et al 2010a,b;Makri et al 2010;Chatzifragkou et al 2011a;Ethier et al 2011;Saenge et al 2011;Dedyukhina et al 2012Dedyukhina et al , 2014Fontanille et al 2012;Cui et al 2012;Chang et al 2013;Duarte et al 2013a,b;Kitcha and Cheirslip 2013;Louhasakul and Cheirsilp 2013;Wensel et al 2014), or as a substrate for the production of metabolic compounds (such as citric acid, acetic acid, polyols, etc.) by yeast strains (Papanikolaou et al 2002(Papanikolaou et al , 2008Rymowicz et al 2008Rymowicz et al , 2010Andr e et al 2009;Rywi nska and Rymowicz 2009;Chatzifragkou et al 2011a,b;Kamzolova et al 2011;Rywi nska et al 2011;Morgunov et al 2013;Petrik et al 2013), data concerning the growth and lipid production by strains of yeasts Rhodosporidium toruloides and Lipomyces starkeyi growing on glycerol are scarce in the international literature <...>…”

Omega-7 producing alkaliphilic diatom <italic>Fistulifera</italic> sp. (Bacillario-phyceae) from Lake Okeechobee, Florida

“…Furthermore, employing bicarbonate as a carbon source is superior to carbon dioxide injection as it is more soluble and is retained in the culture medium and not lost by outgassing (Chi et al 2011). The use of carbonates in conjunction with steep alkaline conditions and competent oleaginous microalgae can provide an ideal setting for large-scale production of biofuels and compounds essential to human supplements and drugs (Wensel et al 2014). Although application of alkaliphilic or alkali-tolerant microalgae may be practical in mass cultivation, native lipid-producing microalgal strains suitable for these special conditions are ideal.…”
