Prof. Vonshak is known internationally mainly for his contribution to the development of the biotechnology for mass culturing of the blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) Spirulina under large-scale conditions. The concept was developed as part of the approach that sustainable development of drylands requires the need to develop new innovative ...
Venkataraman's book, The Cultivation of Algae, [5] published by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) in 1969, is a monograph on the culture and cultivation of algae while the 1974 publication, Algae: form and function, and Vaucheriaceae, [6] deal with the scientific aspects of Algae. [7] Two other books, Algal biofertilizers and ...
An example for natural phycotechnology is the converting of atmospheric nitrogen into bioaccessible nitrogenous compounds by diazotrophic cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). Species of cyanobacteria like Nostoc , Arthrospira ( Spirulina ) and Aphanizomenon are used as food and feed due to their easy digestibility and nutrient content.
Phycology (from Ancient Greek φῦκος (phûkos) ' seaweed ' and -λογία ' study of ') is the scientific study of algae. Also known as algology, phycology is a branch of life science. Algae are important as primary producers in aquatic ecosystems. Most algae are eukaryotic, photosynthetic organisms
Larkum has also carried out taxonomic work which resulted in 'A check list for the algae of Lizard Island', the discovery of several new deepwater species of algae on the Great Barrier Reef [24] and 'A Key to the Green and Brown Algae of New South Wales' by Borowitzka, King and Larkum which was published by the Coastal Council of NSW in 1983 ...
Allen R. Place is an American biologist, biochemist, and academic.He is a Director at the BioAnalytical Research Laboratory and the Harmful Algal Bloom Control Technology Incubator within the Institute of Marine and Environmental Technology (IMET), [1] and an associate director for Research and Professor at University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES).
In 1995, she established the Persian Gulf Biotechnology Research Center—now the Qeshm Microalgae Biorefinery [1] — on Qehm Island, Iran. This center has become a key research hub for applied marine biotechnology. From 2001 to 2010, she was the principal investigator of an Iranian bio-diesel and bio-ethanol-based microalgae project. In 2011 ...
The protein is made up of at least three different subunits and varies according to the species of algae that produces it. The subunit structure of the most common R-PE is (αβ) 6 γ. The α subunit has two phycoerythrobilins (PEB), the β subunit has 2 or 3 PEBs and one phycourobilin (PUB), while the different gamma subunits are reported to ...
