Bioprospecting North Atlantic microalgae with fast growth and high polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) content for microalgae-based technologies
Steinrücken, Pia; Erga, Svein Rune; Mjøs, Svein Are; Kleivdal, Hans Torstein; Prestegard, Siv Kristin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-09)Microalgae are considered to be an important and sustainable alternative to fish oil as a source for the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Due to their health ... -
A closer look into the microbiome of microalgal cultures
Steinrücken, Pia; Jackson, Steve; Müller, Oliver; Puntervoll, Pål; Kleinegris, Dorinde Mechtilde Meike (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Although bacteria are commonly co-occurring in microalgal cultivation and production systems, little is known about their community structure and how it might be affected by specific microalgal groups or growth conditions. ... -
Comparing EPA production and fatty acid profiles of three Phaeodactylum tricornutum strains under western Norwegian climate conditions
Steinrücken, Pia; Prestegard, Siv Kristin; de Vree, Jeroen Hendrik; Storesund, Julia Endresen; Pree, Bernadette; Mjøs, Svein Are; Erga, Svein Rune (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-03)Microalgae could provide a sustainable alternative to fish oil as a source for the omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). However, growing microalgae on a large-scale ... -
Enhancing EPA Content in an Arctic Diatom: A Factorial Design Study to Evaluate Interactive Effects of Growth Factors
Steinrücken, Pia; Mjøs, Svein Are; Prestegard, Siv Kristin; Erga, Svein Rune (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-04-17)Microalgae with a high content of the omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are of great demand for microalgae-based technologies. An Arctic strain of the ... -
High-value fatty acids from microalgae. Bioprospecting and outdoor cultivation at northern latitudes
Steinrücken, Pia (Doctoral thesis, 2018-05-11)Achieving a sustainable and cost-efficient production is imperative to establish microalgae as a new feedstock for aquaculture, where they can potentially replace the use of fish oil from wild catch as a source for the ... -
Insect frass as a fertilizer for the cultivation of protein-rich Chlorella vulgaris
Steinrücken, Pia; Müller, Oliver; Böpple, Hanna; Kleinegris, Dorinde Mechtilde Meike (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Replacing the large amounts of chemical fertilizer with nutrients from waste or residual streams is an important factor to make microalgal production more sustainable, cost-effective, and part of a circular bioeconomy. ... -
Specific metabolites in a Phaeodactylum tricornutum strain Isolated from Western Norwegian fjord water
Prestegard, Siv Kristin; Erga, Svein Rune; Steinrücken, Pia; Mjøs, Svein Are; Knutsen, Gjert; Rohloff, Jens (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-12-30)We have searched for special characteristics in growth, protein expression, fatty acids and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in a local Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin strain (Bergen Marine Biobank), by comparing it with ...
