Engineers have developed a technique to repartition carbon resources from carbohydrates to lipids in microalgae. It is hoped that this method can be applied to biofuel production. A ...

A group of researchers at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in Brazil have grown microalgae under controlled conditions in a laboratory in order to use their metabolites, especially lipids, ...

A detailed lipidomic comparison reveals that EPA and DHA are packaged very differently across marine sources, challenging the idea that all omega-3s are nutritionally equivalent. Study: Omega-3 Source ...

As biofuels continue to present challenges, microalgae are gaining momentum as a biofuel energy crop. Researchers show how a combination of monochromatic red and blue LED illumination on one type of ...

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mara Renewables Corporation, and its manufacturing partner Algal Omega-3 (AO3), announced today they have filed an IPR in the United States on DSM Patent No.

Biofuel has been touted as the cornerstone of a decarbonised future, but the complex supply chains and finite availability of waste lipids – historically the favoured feedstock – means that the sector ...
