Evaluation of Filamentous Fungal Biomass Cultivated on Vinasse as an Alternative Nutrient Source of Fish Feed: Protein, Lipid, and Mineral Composition (2019, background): “, have nitrogen as one of their main structural constituents [49].”
Chemical composition and nutritional properties of freshwater and marine microalgal biomass cultured in photobioreactors (2014, background): “This N-to-P factor overlooks the assumption that the protein source contains 16 % N (Mariotti et al. 2008) and does not adequately take into account the content of non-protein nitrogen (NPN) such as structural proteins, bioactive peptides, free amino acids, nucleic acids, and ammonia found in…”
Seed mortality in the soil is related to seed coat thickness (2010, methodology): “Nitrogen content was measured by the Dumas procedure (Hansen, 1989) and was multiplied by 6.25 (Mariotti et al., 2008) to estimate seed protein content.”
