Effect of abiotic stress on the production on lutein and beta-carotene by Chlamydomonas acidophila
Chlamydomonas acidophila growing autotrophically with continuous PAR light (160 µE.m-2.s-1) and 30 ºC may accumulate carotenoids which increase in response to abiotic stress, like high light intensity, UV-A radiation and ... -
Effect of pH Change on the Microalgae-Based Biogas Upgrading Process
Meier, Leslie; Vílchez Lobato, Carlos; Cuaresma Franco, María; Torres Aravena, Álvaro; Jeison, David (MDPI, 2022-11)
An alternative way to remove CO2 from biogas is the use of photosynthetic microorganisms, such as microalgae. This can be achieved by the operation of an open photobioreactor, connected with a mass transfer column, such ... -
Enhanced productivity of a lutein-enriched novel acidophile microalgae grown on urea
Casal Bejarano, Carlos; Cuaresma Franco, María; Vílchez Lobato, Carlos; Vega Piqueres, José María (MDPI, 2011)
