Transient heterologous protein expression in green microalgae
… cost, safety and scalability. The potential of green microalgae as an innovative heterologous expression system for the production of recombinant proteins is examined in this thesis. To enable this, more specifically, the preparation of algal biomass of various axenic isolates, and their …

Prediction Of Optical Properties Of Plasmonic Composites: Applications To Solar Energy Harvesting
… than 30%. This was because the photoactivity of green microalgae is non-monotonic across the electromagnetic spectrum. The wavelength and light flux of the backscattered field were found to be controllable through the variation of the geometric features and/or concentration of the nanoparticles …

Growth of Chlorella vulgaris and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii for biodiesel production and carbon dioxide capture
The growth of two strains of green microalgae, Chlorella vulgaris (UTEX 2714) and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (UTEX 90) was tested in three types of media; Tris Acetate Phosphate (TAP), Bushnell Haas Broth (BHB), and Wright's Cryptophytes (WC buffered with either glycylglycine or Tris-base). Also, …

Microalgae growing in stressed environments and their antioxidant potential from production of secondary metabolites
Microalgae are photosynthetic microorganisms found in aquatic environments around the world. There is interest in using microalgae to capture carbon (CO2) from industrial off-gas, but sulphur dioxide often present in these gasses increases growing media acidity making it essential to find …

USE OF MICROALGAE FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND BIOFUEL PRODUCTION: EFFECTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINANTS ON THE CELLULAR RESPONSE
… a new generation of biofuels. The cultivation of microalgae in wastewater as the growth medium may offer the dual benefit of wastewater treatment and sustainable biofuel production. The potential of microalgal biomass to be converted into biodiesel depends on the accumulation of lipids, mainly …
