The Growth Factors Involved in Microalgae Cultivation for Biofuel Production: A Review (2020, background): “Several studies have been performed by researchers to show that the temperature has a positive impact on biomass and lipid yield of microalgae [83] [84] [85].”
Addressing assumptions: variation in stable isotopes and fatty acids of marine macrophytes can confound conclusions of food web studies (2013, background): “While it is generally accepted that FA signatures of macrophytes will vary with environmental conditions (Floreto & Teshima 1998, Guschina & Harwood 2006, 2009, Becker et al. 2010), to our knowledge, researchers have not yet considered whether the seasonal variations seen in FA content (Honya et…”
High-quality algae attached to leaf litter boost invertebrate shredder growth (2016, background): “Few authors have referred specifically to the PUFA content of algae attached to terrestrial leaf litter, but in studies on phytoplankton and periphyton, low light levels generally result in higher PUFA content, whereas high light levels lead to lower PUFA content (Guschina and Harwood 2009).”
Fatty acids of microalgae: diversity and applications (2021, background): “They are similar in structure and properties to neutral lipids (Guschina and Harwood 2009).”
Co-production of lipids, eicosapentaenoic acid, fucoxanthin, and chrysolaminarin by Phaeodactylum tricornutum cultured in a flat-plate photobioreactor under varying nitrogen conditions (2017, background): “NLs were primarily constituted by TAGs, which are the major energy reserve in the lipid bodies of cells and can be readily converted into biodiesel (Guschina and Harwood, 2009).”
The Various Roles of Fatty Acids (2018, background): “The algal lipid biochemistry is nevertheless widely influenced by the growth and environmental conditions and the proportion of FA is often altered under salinity, light, temperature and nutrient fluctuating conditions (see [282,283]).”
Essential Biomolecules in Food Webs (2019, background): “In particular, the synthesis of LCω3PUFA in algae is tightly connected to photosynthesis, because they are part of the glycolipids in thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts (Guschina and Harwood, 2009).”
Fatty acid composition as biomarkers of freshwater microalgae: analysis of 37 strains of microalgae in 22 genera and in seven classes (2013, background): “Growth conditions, e.g. light intensity, temperature, salinity, or nutrients, can affect the phytoplankton lipid and FA composition (Guschina & Harwood 2009).”
Physiological role of neutral lipid accumulation in eukaryotic microalgae under stresses (2012, background): “As was noted above, under conditions optimal for growth, microalgae synthesize mainly membrane glycerolipids in amounts as high as 5–20% of cell dry weight, whereas under stressful conditions, their lipid metabolism shifts toward the synthesis of neutral lipids (TAG) [3].”
Effects of Environmental Factors and Nutrient Availability on the Biochemical Composition of Algae for Biofuels Production: A Review (2013, background): “unsaturation of fatty acids in the lipid membrane [75–77].”
