Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) will become one of the world's most important light sources and
their integration in microalgal production systems (photobioreactors) needs to be …

Photosynthesis uses sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into biomass and oxygen.
When in excess, light can be dangerous for the photosynthetic apparatus because it can …

Marine microalgae are considered a potentially new and valuable source of biologically
active molecules for applications in the food industry as well as in the pharmaceutical …

Diatoms, a major group of photosynthetic microalgae, have a high biotechnological potential
that has not been fully exploited because of the paucity of available genetic tools. Here we …

Microbial pigments play multiple roles in the ecosystem construction, survival, and fitness of
all kinds of organisms. Considerably, microbial (bacteria, fungi, yeast, and microalgae) …

The versatile use of biopigments in food, feed, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and analytical
industries emphasized to find different and renewable sources of biopigments. Microalgae …

Environmental fluctuations affect distribution, growth and abundance of diatoms in nature,
with iron (Fe) availability playing a central role. Studies on the response of diatoms to low Fe …

Abstract The Sustainable Development Goals link pollutant control with carbon dioxide
reduction. Toward the goal of pollutant and carbon reduction, microalgae-based wastewater …

The objective of the present study was to test the hypothesis that the acclimation to different
light intensities in the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum is controlled by light quality …

In diatoms, the process of energy-dependent chlorophyll fluorescence quenching (qE) has
an important role in photoprotection. Three components are essential for qE:(1) the light …
