Summary: Extracts rich in proteins from microalgae Chlorella vulgaris and Nannochloropsis gaditana, as well as macroalga Gracilaria vermiculophylla, show potential in preventing lipid accumulation in liver cells. The three algae extracts are effective in increasing different catabolic pathways involved in triglyceride metabolism, but with different underlying mechanisms.

Summary: 3D printing is a crucial technology in designing photobioreactors, allowing for rapid prototyping of complex geometries at an affordable cost. This study investigated the biocompatibility of different 3D printing materials with microalgae, revealing that acrylate methacrylate resin inhibits growth and causes oxidative stress, while ABS, PC-Blend, and PLA show nominal performance. PLA is the only material that does not induce an early onset of oxidative stress.

Summary: Oxidative torrefaction is recommended for improving the fuel properties of microalgae as solid biofuels. Temperature, time, and O2 concentration have significant effects on various parameters such as solid yield, energy yield, and higher heating value. The optimal conditions for this process are 200°C, 10.6 min, and 12% O2, resulting in an energy yield of 98.73% and an enhancement factor of 1.08. Furthermore, it shows higher reactivity under an air environment compared to inert torrefaction conditions.

Summary: The study focuses on the rapid green microwave-assisted extraction of lutein from marine microalgae, optimizing the process parameters for higher lutein yield with less energy intensity. The results show that the optimized conditions for microwave-assisted alkali pre-treatment significantly increased lutein extraction yield and improved the quality of the extracted lutein. This innovative method can be a suitable process for lutein extraction from marine microalgae due to its efficiency and high extraction yield.

Summary: An optimized single cell lipid screening procedure for Nannochloropsis oceanica has been developed in this study, with different staining conditions identified for neutral lipids in exponentially growing cultures and lipid-overproducing cultures. The use of DMSO for cell permeabilization and varying concentrations of BODIPY for staining were highlighted, along with the effects on cell viability, paving the way for a quantitative prediction of cellular neutral lipids.

Summary: Microalgae-derived carotenoids are increasingly being considered as green alternatives to synthetic antioxidants. In this study, a high-yielding lutein strain and its mutant derivative were evaluated for growth and lutein accumulation in different cultivation modes. The mutant strain showed effective growth under heterotrophic conditions but required photo-induction for lutein accumulation, with the best lutein production achieved through a two-stage cultivation strategy.

Summary: The present study aimed to optimize the microalgae-mediated pathogen removal (MAPR) using the Taguchi method. The results showed that Chlorella pyrenoidosa demonstrated high removal rates of Escherichia coli from wastewater. Furthermore, optimized conditions were established for mechanistic investigation and scale-up studies.

Summary: This study investigated the use of vinasses generated in the sugarcane industry in Peru as a growth medium for microalgae and lipid production. The results showed that Chlorella sp. had a high efficiency in nutrient removal from the vinasse and attained a lipid content of 11.5 mg L-1 when cultured with a 10% vinasse concentration. The highest lipid productivity was recorded in cultures with a 20% vinasse concentration. Overall, this study suggests that microalgae culture can be a viable solution for the disposal of vinasse waste and valorization of agro-industrial residues.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NP) supplementation on the biocontrol and biofertilizer properties of Pseudomonas fluorescens NK4. The results showed that supplementing with ZnO-NP increased the secretion of siderophore in P. fluorescens NK4 and using the ZnO-NP-supplemented siderophore on cucumber seedlings improved survival, vegetative and root growth, and yield. Both the ZnO-NP-supplemented siderophore and P. fluorescens NK4 inhibited the population growth of P. viridiflava NK2 in plants.
