“…Higher TLDM values for the genus Isochrysis were reported by Valenzuela-Espinoza et al (2002) and Servel et al (1994). Some studies also reported higher TLDM values in the genus Chaetoceros than those obtained in the present study (Saavedra & Voltolina, 1994;Servel et al, 1994), whereas others reported similar values (López-Elías et al, 2003;López-Elías et al, 2005). Rebolloso-Fuentes et al (2001) reported TLDM values that were similar to those obtained in the present study for P. tricornutum (Table 1).…”

The present study aimed to evaluate the lipid content and fatty acid profiles of 9 marine species (Nannochloropsis oculata, Thalassiosira pseudonana, Phaeodactylum tricornutum, Isochrysis galbana, Tetraselmis suecica, Tetraselmis chuii, Chaetoceros muelleri, Thalassiosira fluviatilis and Isochrysis sp.) and 1 freshwater microalga species (Chlorella vulgaris) that were cultivated in Erlenmeyer flasks with 800 mL of culture medium under stationary autotrophic conditions while exposed to a continuous photon flux density of approximately 175 μmol m-2 s-1 , a temperature of 25±2 o C and constant airflow. N. oculata and T. pseudonana exhibited the highest lipid content, although they had a high proportion of monounsaturated fatty acids relative to polyunsaturated fatty acids. C. vulgaris and Isochrysis sp. exhibited high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids, whereas P. tricornutum, N. oculata and T. suecica exhibited the highest eicosapentaenoic acid levels, and I. galbana and C. muelleri had the highest docosahexaenoic fatty acid levels. The freshwater species C. vulgaris had the highest levels of linoleic and linolenic acids, followed by the marine species T. chuii.

“…Thus, the agricultural fertilizer seems to be an adequate alternative to replace the conventional mediums. Microalgae cultured in the aquacultural fertilizer (Aq-F) had poorest lower productive response; however, the results were within the range reported for commercial laboratories specialized on shrimp larvae production (López-Elías et al, 2003). In particular, Aq-F had the same efficiency than the conventional F/2 media, in terms of biomass, which support the use of Aq-F as a reliable strategy for microalgae production.…”

“…In tropical and subtropical countries, microalga may also be grown outdoors at a lower cost and for the benefit of commercial production of EPA. In this case, biomass yields and biochemical compositions may vary widely, depending on the season and meteorological conditions (López-Elías et al 2003).…”

Variation of lipid and fatty acid compositions of the marine microalga Pavlova viridis (Prymnesiophyceae) under laboratory and outdoor culture conditions

The marine microalga Pavlova viridis (Prymnesiophyceae) is widely used in marine aquaculture industries of China for feeding bivalves and has been proposed as an alternative source of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). To investigate variation of its lipid and fatty acid compositions during laboratory and outdoor cultivation, a 60-1 photobioreactor was established in Nanjing, China. Outdoor cultivation, paralleled with laboratory cultures in mid-October, was performed from autumn through midwinter. The results showed that the total lipid and EPA contents of outdoor cultures were both lower than those of indoor cultures. When the outdoor temperature and illumination decreased, total lipid experienced no significant change. Although the level of saturated fatty acids decreased, polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially EPA, increased.
