The study of microalgal culture has been growing in recent decades, because the cellular structure of microalgae has diverse highly valuable metabolites that have attract attention of numerous companies and research groups. ...

The aim of this work was to determine the responses to sublethal copper exposure (20 and 40 mM CuCl) in two Chlamydomonas reinhardtii strains: the wild type 4A+and the pleiotropic mutant cur9, originally selected as a ...

The influence of light stress and trophic environmental conditions on the production of astaxanthin, other xanthophylls and lipids from an Argentinian strain of Haematococcus pluvialis was investigated. Microalgae cultures ...

Ripe pollen has different soluble and insoluble carbohydrates in variable amounts. Pollen germination and pollen tube growth were studied in a tomato cultivar (Solanum lycopersicum L. cv. Platense) with atypical pollen ...

This study compared the rates and microbial community development in batch bioassays on autotrophic denitrification using elemental sulfur (S0), pyrite (FeS2), thiosulfate (S2O32–), and sulfide (S2–) as electron donor. The ...

In this work, we propose a genomic scale metabolic network model of the genetically engineered Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 within a bilevel programming framework to study ethanol photosynthetic production. The model is ...

Energy and material flow are essential to ecosystem functioning. Transfer of energy and nutrients within ecosystems is best described in terms of food web interactions among taxa in ecological comrnunities. Energy and ...
