• Aqueous extraction of proteins from microalgae: Effect of different cell disruption methods (2014, methodology): “To our knowledge, studies of microalgal proteins have been focused on: evaluating the nitrogen to protein conversion factor [14–18]; finding the best method to analyze proteins and differentiate between soluble and non-soluble proteins [19]; and analyzing the behavior of proteins at the air/water in”
• Nutrient remediation rates in municipal wastewater and their effect on biochemical composition of the microalga Scenedesmus sp. AMDD (2013, background): “25, are often averages of data frommany strains obtained under different growth conditions and therefore may not relate well to the protein content under a given set of conditions [46].”
• Influence of microalgae cell wall characteristics on protein extractability and determination of nitrogen-to-protein conversion factors (2012, background): “Protein extract”
• Protein measurements of microalgal and cyanobacterial biomass. (2010, methodology): “Previously reported conversion factors (Lourenço et al., 2002, 2004) had been determined using biomass samples from batch cultures, and the data were reported without regard to the specific growth stage or the physiological state of the culture.”
• Growth, nutrient uptake and chemical composition of Chlorella sp. and Nannochloropsis oculata under nitrogen starvation (2016, unknown): “Most of the algal groups typically show less than 0.7% d.w. of chlorophyll-a when grown in nutrient sufficiency and even lower concentrations under nitrogen starvation (Lourenço et al., 2004).”
• IS THE GROWTH RATE HYPOTHESIS APPLICABLE TO MICROALGAE? 1 (2010, background): “The most accurate analysis of microalgal cell protein content, for which there are also data for RNA content at different growth rates, is that of Lourenço et al. (1998, 2002, 2004) (data summarized in Table 2).”
• Process Design and Economics for the Production of Algal Biomass: Algal Biomass Production in Open Pond Systems and Processing Through Dewatering for Downstream Conversion (2016, result): “For all three species, there is a clear measured shift in composition of the biomass across the early, mid, and late stages of cultivation, which is typical for nutrient limited biomass, with corresponding protein, lipid, and carbohydrate values consistent with earlier reports for these species [38-”
• Effect of light quality supplied by light emitting diodes (LEDs) on growth and biochemical profiles of Nannochloropsis oculata and Tetraselmis chuii (2016, background): “oculata cultures is likely caused by the ability of this genus to accumulate high intracellular non-proteinaceous nitrogen (NPN) contents, which apparently changes with growth conditions and growth phases [58].”
• Process Design and Economics for the Conversion of Algal Biomass to Biofuels: Algal Biomass Fractionation to Lipid- and Carbohydrate-Derived Fuel Products (2014, background): “The nitrogen content underpins the protein content with a consistent relationship of a nitrogen-to-protein conversion factor and previous reports have shown a protein content of <10% for nutrient limited biomass [22].”
