Exploring Nordic microalgae as a potential novel source of antioxidant and bioactive compounds
León Vaz, Antonio; León Bañares, Rosa María; Vigara Fernández, Javier; Funk; Funk, Christiane (Elsevier, 2023)
Nordic microalgae are a group of photosynthetic organisms acclimated to growth at low temperature and in varying light conditions; the subarctic climate offers bright days with moderate temperatures during summer and cold ... -
Improving the content of high value compounds in Nordic Desmodesmus microalgal strains
(Elsevier, 2022)Nordic Desmodesmus microalgal strains (2-6) and (RUC-2) were exposed to abiotic stress (light and salt) to enhance lipids and carotenoids. The biomass output of both strains increased by more than 50% during light stress ... -
