Extraction of carotenoids from Chlorella vulgaris using green solvents and syngas production from residual biomass

Christof Holliger, Christian Ludwig, Shivom Sharma, Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel, Dominik Refardt

A combined process for carotenoids extraction and efficient bioenergy recovery from the wet microalgae biomass is proposed. High added-value products could thus be extracted prior a hydrothermal gasification of the algal biomass into synthetic natural gas. ...

Maternal allocation of carotenoids increases tolerance to bacterial infection in brown trout

Laure Menin, Matay Hobil

Life-history theory predicts that iteroparous females allocate their resources differently among different breeding seasons depending on their residual reproductive value. In iteroparous salmonids there is typically much variation in egg size, egg number, ...

Microalgal carotenoid recovery in a biorefinery approach

Christof Holliger, Christian Ludwig, Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel, Mariluz Bagnoud, Olivier Laurent Emery

Introduction Microalgae culture to be effective as feedstock for bio-energy production needs to overcome constraining biotechnological, technological and economic factors [1]. In order to establish an economically viable process, the co-production of renew ...

Increased tolerance of sunflower mutant seedlings to Cd and Zn in hydroponic culture

Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel, Erika Nehnevajova

Cadmium and zinc show similarities in their chemistry, geochemistry and environmental properties. Whereas Cd is a phytotoxic non-essential element, Zn is an essential trace element for plant growth and development. Zinc plays a fundamental role in several ...
