; Cuaresma Franco, María; Vílchez Lobato, Carlos; Vega Piqueres, José María (MDPI, 2011)
Coccomyxa acidophila is an extremophile eukaryotic microalga isolated from the Tinto River mining area in Huelva, Spain. C. acidophila accumulates relevant amounts of b- carotene and lutein, well-known carotenoids with ... -
Haloferax mediterranei Cells as C50 Carotenoid Factories
Giani, Micaela; Montero Lobato, Zaida; Garbayo Nores, Inés; Vílchez Lobato, Carlos; Vega Piqueres, José María; Martínez Espinosa, María Rosa (MDPI, 2021-02)
Haloarchaea produce C50 carotenoids such as bacterioruberin, which are of biotechnological in-terest. This study aimed to analyze the effect of different environmental and nutritional conditions on the cellular growth ... -
Optimization of Growth and Carotenoid Production by Haloferax mediterranei Using Response Surface Methodology
Montero Lobato, Zaida; Ramos Merchante, Adrián; Fuentes Cordero, Juan Luis; Sayago Gómez, Ana; Fernández Recamales, María Ángeles; Martínez Espinosa, María Rosa; Vega Piqueres, José María; Vílchez Lobato, Carlos; Garbayo Nores, Inés (National Center for Biotechnology Information, 2018-10)
Haloferax mediterranei produces C50 carotenoids that have strong antioxidant properties. The response surface methodology (RSM) tool helps to accurately analyze the most suitable conditions to maximize C50 carotenoids ... -
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 ...
