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 ...
Algal Research is a bimonthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research on emerging technologies in algae biology, biomass production, cultivation, harvesting, extraction, bioproducts, and econometrics that was established in 2012.
While spirulina is accepted as safe to consume, [2] edible algal vaccines remain under basic research with unconfirmed safety and efficacy as of 2018. [ 3 ] In 2003, the first documented algal-based vaccine antigen was reported, consisting of a foot-and-mouth disease antigen complexed with the cholera toxin subunit B, which delivered the ...
Dulse is one of many edible algae. Algaculture may become an important part of a healthy and sustainable food system [11]. Several species of algae are raised for food. While algae have qualities of a sustainable food source, "producing highly digestible proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates, and are rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals" and e.g. having a high protein ...
A range of microalgae species are produced in hatcheries and are used in a variety of ways for commercial purposes. Studies have estimated main factors in the success of a microalgae hatchery system as the dimensions of the container/bioreactor where microalgae is cultured, exposure to light/irradiation and concentration of cells within the reactor.
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).
Dunaliella salina is a type of halophile unicellular green algae especially found in hypersaline environments, such as salt lakes and salt evaporation ponds. [2] Known for its antioxidant activity because of its ability to create a large amount of carotenoids , it is responsible for most of the primary production in hypersaline environments ...
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
