Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers engineered N. oceanica using a specific strain (LP-tdTomato) to enhance ketocarotenoid production by introducing a key enzyme (CrBKT) from another alga, resulting in significant increases in carotenoid levels and a noticeable orange/red coloration in the cultures.
  • * Optimal production of canthaxanthin and ketocarotenoids was achieved at lower light intensity (150 µmol m s),

Increasing CO availability is a common practice at the industrial level to trigger biomass productivity in microalgae cultures. Still, the consequences of high CO availability in microalgal cells exposed to relatively high light require further investigation. Here, the photosynthetic, physiologic, and metabolic responses of the green microalga model Chlamydomonas reinhardtii were investigated in high or low CO availability conditions: high CO enabled higher biomass yields only if sufficient light energy was provided.

Background: Dermatologic conditions are estimated to account worldwide for approximately 8% of all visits at emergency departments (EDs). Although rarely life-threatening, several dermatologic emergencies may have a high morbidity. Little is known about ED consultations of patients with dermatological emergencies and their subsequent hospital disposal.

: Chronic leg ulcers present a global challenge in healthcare, necessitating precise wound measurement for effective treatment evaluation. This study is the first to validate the "split-wound design" approach for wound studies using objective measures. We further improved this relatively new approach and combined it with a semi-automated wound measurement algorithm.
