Screening for heterotrophy in microalgae of various taxonomic positions and potential of mixotrophy for production of high-value compounds
We tested 37 photoautotrophic microalgal strains of various taxonomic positions for their heterotrophic growth on glucose. We showed that facultative heterotrophy was quite common among certain groups of green...

Extracellular biopolymers produced by freshwater cyanobacteria: a screening study
Cyanobacteria are a rich source of metabolites of a great biotechnological and industrial importance. In this screening study the exopolysaccharides (EPSs) produced by 25 cyanobacterial strains were characteri...

Optimization of cultivation conditions for fatty acid composition and EPA production in the eustigmatophycean microalga Trachydiscus minutus
We determined the effects of cultivation conditions (nitrogen source, salinity, light intensity, temperature) on the composition of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and the production of eicosapentaenoic ac...

Production of lipids and formation and mobilization of lipid bodies in Chlorella vulgaris
We investigated the formation of lipid bodies in the microalga Chlorella vulgaris CCALA 256 under lipid-induction conditions in autotrophically grown cultures. We found that cell division ceased after depletion o...

Production of lipids in 10 strains of Chlorella and Parachlorella, and enhanced lipid productivity in Chlorella vulgaris
We tested 10 different Chlorella and Parachlorella strains under lipid induction growth conditions in autotrophic laboratory cultures. Between tested strains, substantial differences in both biomass and lipid pro...
