Abstract:The production potential of metabolites of interest to the food industry was evaluated in 17 microalgae species isolated from natural sources in northeastern Brazil. The species were cultivated to their stationary phase under controlled conditions, when the experiments were interrupted and the dry biomass harvested. We observed differences in their growth parameters, productivity, and the biochemical compositions of their biomasses, with high levels of protein productivity in Monoraphidium litorale D296WC (48.… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
