Luigi Marra, et al. (2026) Bioresource Technology, 443 (133847)
This study investigated strategies to reduce the water footprint in autotrophic microalgae cultivation by recycling exhausted culture medium under semi-continuous operation.
Luigi Marra, et al. (2025) Bioresource Technology, 430 (132579)
Reports the screening and analysis of 28 Chlorophyta microalgal strains cultivated under standardised semi-continuous conditions for promising biomass/metabolite productivities.
Shani Shoham, et al. (2025) Antioxidants, 14(6), 697
This review explores the multifaceted role of oxidative stress in IBD and highlights the therapeutic potential of microalgae-derived compounds. In addition, it examines the synergistic benefits of combining microalgal antioxidants with probiotics to promote gut homeostasis.
Luigi Marra, et al. (2024) Process, 12(5), 1029
reports preliminary results regarding the utilization of a water reuse strategy for two Chlorophyta microalgae under batch conditions. Growth parameters and chlorophyll content are monitored and the optimal amount of reused medium is assessed.
Mélanie Silva, et al. (2024) Molecules, 29 (8), 1900
Compiles existing knowledge and research findings of the potential pharmacological and biological uses of marine algae and/or their compound.
Bettina Ughy et al. (2023) Cells 2023, 12(10), 1430
Inoculations with serial dilutions of stationary populations reveal a so-called minimal stationary cell concentration (MSCC) point, up to which the cell concentrations remain constant upon dilutions; that seems to be universal among unicellular organisms.
Yahav Eilam et al. (2023) Global Challenges, 2200177 (24)
The main emphasis of this review is on the potential health-promoting applications of microalgae-based proteins, peptides, and bioactive substances for IBD and NAFLD.
Elsinraju Devadasu et al. (2023) Front. Plant Sci., (14)
Low-temperature and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy indicated that the stt7 mutant was more sensitive to salt stress, suggesting that LHCII phosphorylation has a role in the acclimation and protection of the photosynthetic apparatus.
Davide Liberti, et al. (2023) Antioxidants, 12 (2), 337
Studies the the biologicalactivities of sulfated exopolysaccarides and purified phycoerythrin to determine if extraction techniques affect their bio-activities.
Davide Liberti, et al. (2022) ACS Sustainable Chem Eng, 2023, 11, 1, 381–389
The marine, red algae Porphyridium cruentum produces high-value compounds such as exopolysaccharides, phycoerythrin, β-carotene and fatty acids. The paper describes a new biorefinery process to isolate these compounds in a sequential process.
Summarizes the latest findings on bioactive compounds from algae and edible mushrooms that affect the synthesis and metabolism of cholesterol and its role in diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Viswanath Kiron, et al. (2022) Trends Food Sci Tech, 129, 210 – 220
Gives an overview of IBD and its associated microbes. It provides insight into the potential of probiotic bacteria and prebiotics from micro- and macroalgae to combat IBD.
Investigated the sensitivity of non-bilayer lipid phases of isolated thylakoid membranes to different lipases and proteases.
Mélanie Silva et al. (2022) Appl Sci, 12 (12), 5877
This study describes the identification of four microalgae as potentially valuable sources of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds for use in the functional food and pharmaceuticals.
