N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs), and especially eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)
and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), are essential compounds for human health. They have …

Following scrutiny of present biofuels, algae are seriously considered as feedstocks for next-
generation biofuels production. Their high productivity and the associated high lipid yields …

Eukaryotic algae are a very diverse group of organisms which inhabit a huge range of
ecosystems from the Antarctic to deserts. They account for over half the primary productivity …

Through the photosynthetic activity, microalgae process more than 25% of annual inorganic
carbon dissolved in oceans into carbohydrates that ultimately, serve to feed the other levels …

Factors such as an ageing population, increased health care costs and rapid advances in
science and technology are likely driving the increase interest among consumers in …

An astonishing variety of different lipids have been found in marine sediments and the water
column attesting to the diversity of biosynthetic pathways employed by aquatic organisms …

We compared lipid dynamics and the physiological responses of blue mussels Mytilus
edulis, a cold-adapted species, and oysters Crassostrea virginica, a warmer-water species …

A total of 13 species of microalgae and 14 strains of cyanobacteria, collected directly in the
Portuguese coast and lagoons, were characterized for their fatty acid contents, focusing on …

A mid‐infrared spectroscopic method was developed for the simultaneous and quantitative
determination of total protein, carbohydrate and lipid contents of microalgal cells. Based on …

The lipid characteristics of microalgae are known to differ between species and change with
growth conditions. This work provides a methodology for lipid characterization that enables …
