In this study, we report an unusual phenomenon of the self-cleavage of purified PCR products of codon-optimized delta tubulin ( ) and epsilon tubulin ( ) genes through an unknown mechanism. Our studies revealed that intact PCR products for both these genes could be obtained upon PCR amplification from plasmid templates carrying these genes. However, interestingly, purification of these PCR products led to their cleavage through an unidentified mechanism.

Light management has emerged as a promising approach, but the intricate relationship between light intensity, spectral quality, and algal responses remains poorly understood. This study investigated the effects of different light qualities (blue, red-orange, and white-yellow) and intensities (45-305 μmol/m·s) on Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

Identifying these landmarks is often complex and time-consuming for orthodontists. An AI model for classification was recently developed.

In this study, we present evidence that alternating blue and red-orange light can improve the algal growth kinetics and lipid production in a photobioreactor. Blue (430-445, 460-470 nm) and red-orange light (580-660 nm) from a LED were set at the light saturation point (B: 65 μmol/ms; RO: 155 μmol/ms) and alternated for the cultivation of the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

However, the response of algal metabolism to different light qualities, especially their interaction with other environmental factors, is not well understood. This study focuses on the interactive effects of light quality and culturing temperature on algal protein content and carbohydrate content of C.
