Background ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are synthesized from α-Linolenic acid
(ALA, C18: 3ω3) and play important roles in anti-inflammatory and antioxidant responses in …

Abstract α-Linolenic acid (ALA) is an essential fatty acid which cannot be synthesized de
novo in mammals and must be ingested regularly in the diet. In this study, a microalgal strain …

A novel green microalgae strain from Lake Fuxian has been isolated and identified as a
potential feedstock for biodiesel production. The novel strain was named Monoraphidium sp …

Background The increasing demand for microalgae lipids as an alternative to fish has
encouraged researchers to explore oleaginous microalgae for food uses. In this context …

Microalgae are considered as sustainable resources for biofuel production. However,
recently the focus on microalgal research has shifted toward the investigation of high-value …

The economic challenges of microalgae biodiesel production, including the energy burden
and water shortage, can be addressed simultaneously by using wastewater as a nitrogen …

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22: 6n-3) is an omega-3 fatty acid with beneficial effects for
human health. In view of its increasing demand, DHA traditionally produced by marine …

A total of 646 strains, including green algae and diatoms, were isolated from 220 samples to
screen microalgae with high lipid productivity (LP). The samples were obtained from nine …

ω3-Docosapentaenoic acid (ω3-DPA), an ω3-polyunsaturated fatty acid (ω3-PUFA), is
expected to have beneficial physiological functions to humans; however, because of its rarity …

Omega-3 fats are known to be the essential nutrient for human health, obtainable only
through food sources. Algae and phytoplankton are primary sources that can synthesize …
