ASSESSMENT OF THE POTENTIAL OF MINKERY WASTEWATERS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF DUNALIELLA SALINA AND β-CAROTENE.
(2018-08-31)Dunaliella salina is a species of green microalgae most prominently known for its ability to accumulate large quantities of β-carotene. As part of this study, mink wastewater was incorporated as a nutrient medium as a means ... -
Evaluation of Schizochytrium sp. as a source of DHA and Haematococcus pluvialis as a source of astaxanthin pigment in diets for farmed salmonids
(2021-12-10)Two studies were conducted to evaluate the digestibility of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-rich Schizochytrium sp. (Sc) in diets for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and to assess the fillet pigmenting efficacy of a weakened whole ... -
EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF FEEDING MARINE ALGAE AND SEAWEEDS ON RUMINAL DIGESTION USING IN VITRO CONTINUOUS CULTURE FERMENTATION
(2011-07-08)Continuous culture fermentation (CCF) was used to test the hypotheses that: marine microalgae (MA) and macroalgae (seaweeds) alter rumen microbial metabolism; MA types differ in abilities to provide rumen escape n-3 ... -
The influence of irradiance and genotype on the change in carbon allocation by four species of microalgae under increasing nutrient stress
(2012-12-11)During nutrient-replete growth of microalgae, new photosynthate is allocated toward three different biochemical pools: light harvesting compounds, the biosynthetic apparatus and energy storage. The mechanisms governing ... -
An Integrated Biorefinery for Anaerobic Digestion of Thin Stillage and Microalgae Cultivation for Nutrient Recycling, Bioenergy and Bioproduct Production
(2019-08-29)Corn grain is one of the main sources for bioethanol production. However, corn bioethanol plants consume a significant amount of energy and water, compete with the food supply chain and may lead to eutrophication as the ... -
Minkery wastewater integrated into microalgae and cyanobacteria production
(2017-09-01)In Nova Scotia, the mink industry has become an essential component to the economic vitality of the agricultural sector. With emerging regulations from the Fur Industry Act of 2010, mink producers are required to identify ... -
Optimization study of biomass and astaxanthin production by Haematococcus pluvialis under minkery wastewater cultures
(2018-03-28)Haematococcus pluvialis (H. pluvialis) is a green freshwater microalgae species, well known for its ability for astaxanthin accumulation. In this study, minkery wastewater (MW) was used as nutrient resource for the cultivation ...
