Abstract:
New strains of microalgae belonging to the Nitzschia genus allow high-yield production of lipids such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and/or carotenoids such as fucoxanthin. Biomass containing the microalgae can be charged with fucoxanthin representing more than 0.2% by weight of the dry matter.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a genetically engineered algae strain in which the expression of the CGI-58 gene or homologous gene thereof is silenced. The present invention further relates to a method of triacylglycerol accumulation using said genetically engineered diatom and/or diatom strain.
Abstract:
Disclosed are novel strains of protists belonging to the Aurantiochytrium genus that allow the high yield production of lipids and carotenoids, in particular docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and canthaxanthin and/or astaxanthin, in mixotrophic mode, in particular, using variable and/or discontinuous provision of light, in particular in the form of flashes.
Abstract:
New strains of microalgae belonging to the Euglena genus, allow production of lipids, in particular of EPA and/or ARA, in mixotrophic mode, and a method for selecting and culturing such strains, using a variable and/or discontinuous light source, in particular a flashing light.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a method of cultivation of microorganisms in a bioreactor wherein the culture medium comprises carbon dioxide (CO2) as carbon source. The CO2 supply in the bioreactor is regulated using a membrane contactor.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel process for purifying phycobiliproteins, in particular acid-pH-resistant phycobiliproteins, the resulting phycobiliproteins, and the uses thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an oil of microorganisms rich in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6n3), comprising more than 60% of DHA relative to the total mass of fat and to the use thereof for human or animal feed, in particular for feeding infants, children, or pregnant or lactating women.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of culturing unicellular red algae (URA). The invention relates in particular to a method for culturing URA, characterised in that the culture medium includes milk permeate as the main contribution of at least one carbon source. The invention also relates to biomass which can be obtained by the method according to the invention, to the uses of said biomass and to the products that can include said biomass.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a new process for extracting and purifying phycocyanins produced by fermenting microalgae, in particular produced by Galdieria sulphuraria, by means of selective precipitation.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for protein enrichment of a biomass of red unicellular algae such as Galdieria and to the biomass thus obtained.
