Cianoalerta: estrategia para predecir el desarrollo de cianobacterias tóxicas en embalses
Forján Lozano, Eduardo
; Domínguez Vargas, María José; Vílchez Lobato, Carlos; Miguel, R.; Costa, C.; Reis, M.P. (Asociación española de ecología terrestre, 2008-04)
La eutrofización de los pantanos destinados al abastecimiento de agua de consumo humano supone un deterioro de la calidad de la misma, e incluso puede afectar a la salud de los consumidores. Éste es el caso de la presencia ... -
Enhancement of carotenoid production in Nannochloropsis by phosphate and sulphur limitation
Forján Lozano, Eduardo; Garbayo Nores, Inés; Casal Bejarano, Carlos; Vílchez Lobato, Carlos (Formatex, 2007)
Because of its value as antioxidants, food-supplements and in animal-feeding, carotenoids are among the most attractive target compounds of marine microalgae. In this contribution the influence of essential nutrients (N, ... -
Marine carotenoids: biological functions and commercial applications
Vílchez Lobato, Carlos; Forján Lozano, Eduardo; Cuaresma Franco, María; Bédmar, Francisco; Garbayo Nores, Inés; Vega, José M. (MDPI, 2011)
Carotenoids are the most common pigments in nature and are synthesised by all photosynthetic organisms and fungi. Carotenoids are considered key molecules for life. Light capture, photosynthesis photoprotection, excess ... -
Microalgae as a safe food source for animals: nutritional characteristics of the acidophilic microalga Coccomyxa onubensis
Navarro Roldán, Francisco Juan; Forján Lozano, Eduardo; Vázquez, María; Montero, Zaida; Bermejo, Elisabeth; Castaño López, Miguel Ángel; Toimil, Alberto; Chagüaceda, Enrique; García Sevillano, Miguel Ángel (Elsevier, 2016)
Background: Edible microalgae are marine or fresh water mesophilic species. Although the harvesting of microalgae offers an abundance of opportunities to the food and pharmaceutical industries, the possibility to use ... -
Productivity and selective accumulation of carotenoids of the novel extremophile microalga Chlamydomonas acidophila grown with different carbon sources in batch systems
Vílchez Lobato, Carlos; Cuaresma Franco, María; Forján Lozano, Eduardo; Casal Bejarano, Carlos (2010)
Cultivation of extremophile microorganisms has attracted interest due to their ability to accumulate high-value compounds. Chlamydomonas acidophila is an acidophile green microalga isolated by our group from Tinto River, ... -
UV-A mediated modulation of photosynthetic efficiency, xanthophyll cycle and fatty acid production of Nannochloropsis
Vílchez Lobato, Carlos; Forján Lozano, Eduardo; Garbayo Nores, Inés; Henriques, Marta Helena Fernandes; Rocha, Jorge; Vega Piqueres, José María (Springer, 2010)
Nannochloropsis, a green microalga, is source for commercially valuable compounds as extensively described and, in particular, is recognized as a good potential source of EPA (20:5v3), an important polyunsaturated fatty ... -
β-Carotene production enhancement by UV-A radiation in Dunaliella bardawil cultivated in laboratory reactors
Vílchez Lobato, Carlos; Mogedas Romero, Benito; Casal Bejarano, Carlos; Forján Lozano, Eduardo (Elsevier SCI LTD, 2009)
β-carotene is an antioxidant molecule of commercial value that can be naturally produced by certain microalgae that mostly belong to the genus Dunaliella. So far, nitrogen starvation has been the most efficient condition ...
