Handbook of microalgal culture
\"Algae are some of the fastest growing plants in the world and up to 50 per cent of their weight is oil.As well as its high oil content microalgae is also rich in other high value compounds such as vitamins, protein fatty acids, pigments, antioxidants and sterols. All these compounds can be extracted for use by the pharmaceutical industry and the algae itself can be used for feeding of livestock, particularly fish where there are hopes that it may be able to replace fish meal used in fish feeds in the future. Microalgae is also used in water purification systems.So far only a few species of microalgae are under mass cultivation. The potential for expansion is potentially huge with some estimates suggesting that there are a further one million or more, so far unexploited species, representing a mind-boggling untapped resource.The second edition of this extremely popular book contains 36 chapters. Nineteen of these are written by new authors. There are 11 new chapters covering important new aspects including novel photobioreactors, techno-economic analysis of algal mass culture, outdoor mass cultivation of oil-bearing microalgae, and the biology and large scale culture of several newly exploited species including Chlorella, Spirulina and Dunaniella.This book is intended for Aquaculture engineers, phycologists, pharmaceutical, biofuel and fish feed industry and aquaculture personnel. \"--

Biotechnological Applications of Microalgae
This book presents the latest developments and recent research trends focusing on potential biotechnological applications of microalgae. It gives an analysis of microalgal biology, ecology, biotechnology, and biofuel production capacity as well as a thorough discussion on the value added products that can be generated from diverse microalgae. Chapters cover strain selection, growth characteristics, large-scale culturing, enumeration methods, and biomass harvesting and dewatering techniques. They also describe extraction, identification, and transesterification of microalgal lipids, and microalgae involvement in CO2 sequestration and phycoremediation.

Enseñar a ensoñar
Esta obra es un estudio epistémico derivado de un proyecto I+D+i financiado por el Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación español que reivindica la «ensoñación» romántica para educar el ingenio lector en el siglo XXI.Cualquier profesional con interés por fortalecer la competencia lingüística y literaria de sus estudiantes hallará aquí razones investigadoras sostenibles para trabajar la sinergia inventiva que nace de cada intérprete en busca de coherencia intertextual para proferir y escribir hipertextos con sentido. Por ello, se aprecia, con ojos nuevos, el papel argumentativo del comentarista como mediador indispensable para la asunción de tales discursos creativos y críticos.Esta monografía investiga, con alcance amplio y minucioso, los enfoques integrados, los horizontes coalescentes y los procesos comunicativos inherentes a dicho planteamiento epistémico del área en línea con los retos profesionalizadores de la OCDE en discursos multimodales para la emancipación social.

Isolation, characterization, and maintenance of native Swiss microalgae for biotechnological prospection
Microalgae culture collections may contain unexplored strains with great biotechnological potential. Through sampling, identification, characterization, and maintenance of local strains, part of the work described here led to the establishment of the first public Swiss microalgae culture collection, AlgoScope. The potential biotechnological applications of 7 strains from among over 120 native strains were suggested based on growth parameters and biochemical composition. Under standardized growth conditions,
Tetradesmus obliquus
FAM 27852 and FAM 27855,
Chloroidium saccharophilum
FAM 27962,
Chlorella vulgaris
FAM 27965,
Stichococcus

Tetranephris brasiliensis
FAM 28097 had growth rates of 0.24 d

. Proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and ashes ranged from 32.88 to 53.54%, 9.69–18.08%, 9.32–23.94%, and 3.17–5.51%, respectively. All strains had a similar amino acid composition, containing all essential amino acids. In contrast, the fatty acid composition varied among strains, but, in general, the fatty acids were rich in PUFAs (23.83–53.49% of total fatty acids). Overall,
C. saccharophilum
FAM 27962 and
T. brasiliensis
FAM 28097 showed great potential for use in the animal feed sector.

Microalgae-Derived Pigments: A 10-Year Bibliometric Review and Industry and Market Trend Analysis
Microalgae productive chains are gaining importance as sustainable alternatives to obtain natural pigments. This work presents a review on the most promising pigments and microalgal sources by gathering trends from a 10-year bibliometric survey, a patents search, and an industrial and market analysis built from available market reports, projects and companies’ webpages. The performed analysis pointed out chlorophylls, phycocyanin, astaxanthin, and β-carotene as the most relevant pigments, and Chlorella vulgaris, Spirulina platensis, Haematococcus pluvialis, and Dunaliella salina, respectively, as the most studied sources. Haematococcus is referred in the highest number of patents, corroborating a high technological interest in this microalga. The biorefinery concept, investment in projects and companies related to microalgae cultivation and/or pigment extraction is increasingly growing, particularly, for phycocyanin from Spirulina platensis. These pieces of evidence are a step forward to consolidate the microalgal pigments market, which is expected to grow in the coming years, increasing the prospects of replacing synthetic pigments by natural counterparts.
