Lutein and β-carotene biosynthesis in Scenedesmus sp. SVMIICT1 through differential light intensities.

The study evaluated the biosynthesis of lutein and β-carotene by Scenedesmus sp. SVMIICT1 under five different light intensities (50, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 µE/m/s). Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) was used to determine relative quantities of lutein and β-carotene.

Draft genome analysis, poly-phasic study and lipid biosynthesis pathway of Scenedesmus sp. SVMIICT1.

A comprehensive polyphasic evaluation of a microalgal isolate Scenedesmus sp. SVMIICT1 through morphological, biochemical, photosynthetic characterization, next-generation sequencing and lipid pathway analysis was reported. The strain was cultivated photo-autotrophically, where the maximum photosynthetic yield (F/F) of 0.

Algal biorefinery models with self-sustainable closed loop approach: Trends and prospective for blue-bioeconomy.

Microalgae due to its metabolic versatility have received a focal attention in the biorefinery and bioeconomy context. Microalgae products have broad and promising application potential in the domain of renewable fuels/energy, nutraceutical, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Biorefining of microalgal biomass in a circular loop with an aim to maximize resource recovery is being considered as one of the sustainable option that will have both economical and environmental viability.

Non-lethal nitrate supplementation enhances photosystem II efficiency in mixotrophic microalgae towards the synthesis of proteins and lipids.

The current study is aimed at understanding the effect of two different concentrations of nitrate (NaNO) i.e., 2.

Regulatory effect of Fe-EDTA on mixotrophic cultivation of Chlorella sp. towards biomass growth and metabolite production.

The study examined the effect of varying concentrations of iron in the form of ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid ferric sodium salt (Fe-EDTA) for cultivation of Chlorella sp. under mixotrophic condition to evaluate biomass growth and metabolites production. The experimental data depicted enhanced biomass production along with lipids, carbohydrates and proteins at an optimal iron concentration (8mg/L).
