Rapid assay for the analysis of class III metallothioneins by capillary zone electrophoresis in crude extracts of microalgal cells exposed to cadmium
(Elsevier, 1997-07-18)
An optimization strategy for the separation and analysis of class III metallothioneins from a complex matrix by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) is presented and illustrated. Metallothioneins are a group of polypeptides ...
Cadmium toxicity on the freshwater microalga Chlamydomonas moewusii Gerloff: Biosynthesis of thiol compounds
(SETAC-Press (Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry), 2010-09)
Cadmium (Cd) toxicity and production of different thiols (phytochelatins, glutathione, γ-Glu-Cys and cysteine) were studied in the microalga Chlamydomonas moewusii exposed to different concentrations of this metal (1, 2, ...
Potential use of flow cytometry in toxicity studies with microalgae
(2000-03)
[Abstract]Cytotoxic effects of aquatic pollutants on microalgae are very heterogeneous, and they are influenced by environmental conditions and the test species. Stress produced by copper or paraquat addition to the culture ...
The marine microalga Chlorella stigmatophora as a potential source of single cell protein: Enhancement of the protein content in response to nutrient enrichment
(Elsevier, 1986)
Mass cultures of Chlorella stigmatophora were carried out in order to obtain maximum protein production and to study the chemical variations in function of the nutrient concentration. Cultures reached maximum cellular ...
Improvement of growth rate and cell productivity by aeration rate in cultures of the marine microalga Dunaliella tertiolecta
(Elsevier, 1994)
The effect of different aeration rates and CO2 supply regimes on mass cultures of the marine microalga Dunaiella tertiolecta was studied. Eight aeration rates in the range 0-6.51 litres of air min-1 litre of culture-1 were ...
Response of the marine microalga Dunaliella tertiolecta (Chlorophyceae) to copper toxicity in short time experiments
(Springer, 1995-02)
Heavy metals are introduced into aquatic ecosystems from industrial wastes, agricultural runoff and mining activities. The toxicity of heavy metal ions in solution to microalgae is well known. The essentiality and toxicity ...
Growth and biochemical variability of the marine microalga Chlorella stigmatophora in batch cultures with different salinities and nutrient gradient concentration
(Taylor & Francis Group, 1987-03-30)
[Abstract] Chlorella stigmatophora was cultured under 56 different combinations of nutrient-salinity concentrations, ranging from 1 to 64 mM NaNO3 and from 0 to 35%. salinity. Optimal growth conditions for obtaining maximum ...
Changes in the gross chemical composition of mass cultures of the marine microalga Dunaliella tertiolecta with different aeration rates
(Elsevier, 1995)
The effect of different aeration rates, in the range 0–6·51 l of air min−1 l of culture−1, and CO2 supply on the biochemical composition of mass cultures of the marine microalga Dunaliella tertiolecta was studied. The ...
Composition and production of thiol constituents induced by cadmium in the marine microalga Tetraselmis suecica
(Wiley, 2006-01)
Time course of intracellular levels of different thiols (phytochelatins, desglycyl-phytochelatins, glutathione, γ-glutamylcysteine [γ-Glu-Cys], and cysteine) were studied in the microalga Tetraselmis suecica exposed to ...
Flow cytometric analysis of the encystment process induced by paraquat exposure in Haematococcus pluvialis (Chlorophyceae)
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)
The freshwater microalga Haematococcus pluvialis exhibits a unique morphological response to environmental stress, accumulating carotenoid pigment during encystment. The complexity of characterizing the different cell ...
